Self-Guided Walking Tour Historic Homes Of Fayetteville, Tennessee*
* During the "Host of Christmas Past" Festival, this is a candlelit walking tour with luminaries.
"Christmas traditions are one of the few stable things in our lives. And the first tradition year after year is, for Fayetteville, Rascal's Christmas Tree. Remember? Rascal was the dog that took possession of the Jack Thomison family and home in 1964. That year they planted a Canadian hemlock on the front lawn, and decorated it with lights. Rascal loved that tree, and became so excited over it that they called it then, and now, Rascal's Tree. Rascal, who was part collie and part shepherd, has been gone since 1981, but the beautifully decorated tree, who's lights are turned on at dusk each evening in December, still heralds the season to the family, neighbors, friends, and even those persons traveling into town from the northeast. In our neighborhood we wouldn't consider a Christmas without Rascal's Tree! Our children and grandchildren, relatives from afar and friends from other parts of town look forward to the sight. Rascal has been replaced, first by Princess, who staked out a claim on the Thomisons in 1976, and then by JoyBoy, who was adopted in 1984. Nobody can take the place of Rascal. He owned the neighborhood - and ruled it. But even if he is gone, we all appreciate the tradition established by the Thomisons. Rascal's tree is now ready for our new Christmas season. The tree has grown and I am sure new lights have been added from time to time. It stands forthright to the world, to say that whatever else changes, Christmas will always be with us!"

The East Side
304 South Elk - McKinney-Pitts House - ca. 1820-25. Federal with Victorian era changes. 2-story brick, one of the oldest structures in Fayetteville. The brick was made from clay dug and fired on the property. The house was built by Dr. Charles McKinney (1788-1864), a surgeon in the War of 1812 and the Creek Uprising. Dr. McKinney's original office was on the site of the present office building which was built ca. 1956. According to one of Dr. McKinney's granddaughters, the house had the first indoor bathroom in Fayetteville.
310 South Elk - McKinney-Williams-Pitts House - ca. 1830. Greek Revival with Victorian era remodeling. 2-story brick. Dr. Charles McKinney built this house as a wedding gift for one of his daughters.

They were given the land on which the house was built as a wedding present from Martha's father, Dr. R.R. McKinney. Mr. McDonald owned a local lumber mill and only the finest woods and milling he could find were used in this house. During the Civil War, it is documented that General Wm. Sherman stopped in Fayetteville and slept in the lower level bedroom. The house was used as a hospital by Union and Confederate forces during the war. The R. A. Pitts family lived there from 1918 until 1952. In 1952, the Elk's Club purchased the house for their meeting place. Mr. Thomas Bolner and his wife, Dr. Anne Bolner bought the house in 1955 and undertook a very major renovation lasting for many years. In 2006, John Fraser, IV and William O. Lawter purchased the home and have restored the grounds, the exterior and interior of the home.
North Elk Avenue
200 North Elk - First United Methodist Church (1892-93)- an earlier Methodist Church building was located on the site of the old Moores property at the corner of North Main Avenue and East Edison Street. Shortly after two new spires had been completed on the earlier building, a tornado on March 27, 1890 nearly destroyed the church. By May 8 of that year, at the urging of several members, the official church board had purchased a new lot on North Elk Ave. By 1893 a new brick church had been completed there. In 1915 the Women's Missionary Society purchased a pipe organ, the first of its kind in Fayetteville, and it is still in use today. The church building was condemned in the early 1920's due to structural problems, and extensive repairs had to be made. In 1946 the stone-like permastone veneer was placed on the brick building's exterior. The church was forced to undergo repair again after it was damaged by the 1952 tornado. In 1953 the church bought the Moores property on North Main, the same location where the earlier church had been. The Moores building served as the Sunday School for many years. Gradually, new buildings have been constructed on the church grounds, housing a fellowship hall, classrooms, and offices.
121 North Elk - First Baptist Church (1949-50) - The Baptist Church in the Lincoln County village of Mulberry indicate that their congregation was instrumental in the successful Fayetteville organization which was completed in 1881. The first church building, located at 204 East Washington, was destroyed by a tornado that struck on March 27, 1890. By the end of the next year, a new building was completed on the same site, serving the congregation until 1950. The cornerstone for this building has been relocated to the northeast corner of the present church grounds, beneath the church sign. The East Washington Street building, again damaged by a tornado in 1952, is the former home of the Rotary Club. The present church building on North Elk was erected in 1949-50. In 1962-63 an education and office building was built across the street and was named in honor of Brother D. D. Smothers, who pastored the church longer than any other pastor in its history.
106 East Washington - St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church (1952) - When the tornado of 1890 demolished so many churches in Fayetteville, the St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church was left untouched. Ironically, it was the only church carrying tornado insurance! Following the destruction on the February 29, 1952 tornado, again churches were destroyed or damaged, including St. Mary Magdalene Episcopal Church. Unfortunately, it was then among those without tornado insurance! Found in the rubble of the elegant stone and wood edifice of the 1884 church was a small ledger in which was recorded much history, such as: the church was dedicated on St. Mary Magdalene Day, July 22, 1884; it became a parish in 1890 but lost that status during World War I. With only about thirty-three active members, the church was rebuilt in almost the same spot. However, it was relocated 90 degrees to the south, facing Washington Street, with Elk Avenue to the east. Culver Dozier, a former alter boy, was the architect in 1952. After almost 90 years as a mission, St. Mary Magdalene has become a parish again with nearly sixty families.

Built as a townhouse for Hugh Bright Douglas, who owned a 1450 acre farm three miles east of Fayetteville, the house was designed by the Nashville architectural firm of Rickman and Bills and built by a Lincoln County builder named Ray. The hardwoods used in the house were cut from Mr. Douglas' farm, and all the original woodwork remains. He was the grandson of James Bright and the son of William Byrd Douglas. During the Civil War Hugh Bright Douglas served under Generals Nathan Bedford Forrest and Joe Wheller. After the war he married Margaret Terrett of Nashville; their son, Byrd, inherited the house after his mother's death. His daughter, Sarah Byrd Douglas Posey, inherited the house after her father's death in 1958., Mr. Don Wyatt, the current owner, purchased the property from Mrs. Posey in 1961.

During the Civil War the home was used as a hospital and Officer's Quarters. The Barnett's daughter married Dr. Buckner and they also lived here. Mrs. Claire Barnett Buchner, was not only a founding member of the (Sr.) Round Dozen who gave and maintained Fayetteville's public library for over 50 years but, was one of Tennessee's leading suffragists. She was very prominent in Tennessee's (by one vote) ratification of the 19th Amendment, which gave women the vote. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Rees purchased the house from the Buckners and did extensive renovations. It was at this time (1925) when the size of the home was doubled and was made to be a Georgian Revival. Mr. William Robert Carter and his wife Mrs. Jane Strong Carter purchased the home in 1958. The Carters were owners of one of the largest construction companies in the Southeast – CFW. In 2014 Mr. Thomas Marion Malone & Mr. Bryant Carter Crowson purchased the home from the Carter estate. They are currently working to restore the home to how it would have looked in 1850.
616 Mulberry Avenue - ca. 1850 & 1930. Originally built by Judge James Chilcoat, the first Lincoln County Judge. Mr. Chilcoat was murdered at Mulberry during the Civil War by Yankees. Dr. T. A. Patrick Sr. first remodeled the original frame house adding a stone veneer to the exterior. Several more remodelings were made by other owners. The wife of owner Dr. Thomas Holman, Selina Moore Holman, was very active in the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and served as the organization's president for several years. Her portrait hangs in the state capitol. The current owners are Mr. and Mrs. Don Davis.
624 Mulberry Avenue - ca. 1865 & 1890. built circa 1865 by Robert E. Lee Bright, the original house was a two-story cabin with on large room on each floor. A new house was eventually built in front of the original one and the two were later joined (1890), forming the house as it is today. Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Thomison purchased the house in 1910 from the Judge Joseph Higgins and wife. Judge Higgins was the grandfather of our former city attorney, Mr. Thomas O. Bagley. Upon Mr. W C Thomison's death, the house was inherited by Mr. & Mrs. Jack Thomison. Mr. Thomison was born in the upstairs bedroom. Mrs. Thomison died in 2002 and the house passed down to the current owners Mr. & Mrs. William C. Thomision, II.
628 Mulberry Avenue - ca. 1900. Mr. James L. Newsom acquired this land in August of 1899 from Mr. George Sutton. Soon after, Mr. Newsom constructed this Queen Anne style Victorian home complete with slate shingles and curved glass windows in the turret. The original hitching posts still stand at the Porte cochere. Mr. Newsom was a traveling salesman and later operated a dry goods store on the east side of the square. Mr. Newsom died of typhoid fever at a young age and the house was inherited by Cullen B. Ervin (son of Mrs. Newsom by her second husband). Mr. and Mrs. Hubert Holman purchased the home in 1936 and it remained with his family until 2001. The home is currently being renovated by the new owners, Dr. and Mrs. Jerry G. McKinney.

She is the goddess of the grain, agriculture, harvest, growth, and nourishment, who presided over grains and the fertility of the earth, I have set about recreating her in my own way.
I soaked the material in the Powertex and started dressing my Goddess. I pinned up her hair and have cut it, as I plan to add embellishments to her head later.
And with the magic of COLORTRICX and a bit of a paint job, she is now looking like this.
Until next time, be happy and give that Powertex bottle a shake!!!

Video Game Orchestra Rocks the Stage @ Level Up KL Play
With Level Up KL Play happening in just a few more days, we figured it'd be a good time to talk about one of the biggest attractions of the event itself, and that would of course be the first ever Malaysian debut of the ever-popular Video Game Orchestra.
I'm sure a lot of you are asking, what exactly is the Video Game Orchestra? Well don't worry folks, I'm here to enlighten all of you, and maybe get you hooked on them yourselves.
The Video Game Orchestra is a project created by Okinawan-born Shota Nakama, a Berklee College of Music graduate. The project was based in Boston, and was founded in May 2008.
What separates VGO from other video game concert or orchestral acts is their signature "rockhestral" sound. What this means is that instead of a traditional orchestra arrangement, this one also includes a rock band playing centre stage, as well as a choir. This brings out a whole new sound, which is the core element of VGO, and one that has proven to rock the socks off every show they've done so far.
Speaking of shows, their list of appearances is nothing short of spectacular either. From starting out with their debut concert, titled "A Night of Symphonic Video Game Music" at the Old South Church in Boston on July 2008, they've gone on to be part of some truly wondrous achievements, the most notable ones being personally selected by Arnie Roth as one of the Distant Worlds: Final Fantasy orchestras in 2012, to even partnering with Square Enix to orchestrate the compositions created by Masashi Hamauzu for the game Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII in 2013.
In 2019, at PAX East, the group has even done rock arrangments for popular game soundtracks, such as for the song "Life Will Change" from the highly popular Persona 5, as well as the classic "Vampire Killer" from the Castlevania franchise.
2019 will mark the first year that this group has ever performed in Malaysia, and in my personal opinion, this is one show that should not be missed by anyone. If you are a fan of rock music, but also enjoy the harmony of an orchestra, you owe it to yourself to catch these guys in action.
Tickets for the Video Game Orchestra live show at Level Up KL Play are still on sale, and they can be purchased on the day of the event itself. A worthy investment, if their track record is anything to go by.
General seating will cost RM108
Concert + Meet & greet session for the cost of RM228
If you'd like to know more about them, you can find them on their Facebook page, while if you'd like to check out what they've done so far, they also have a YouTube channel.
Follow THE MAGIC RAIN's Facebook and Instagram for a chance to score FREE tickets to Video Game Orchestra for yourself!

John Worthy Chaplin was born on 23rd July 1841, the son of William James Chaplin, M.P. for Salisbury, and Elizabeth, nee Alston. He was educated at Harrow and entered the 67th Regiment on 13th April 1858.
"John Worthy Chaplin, Ensign (now Lieut), 67th Regt (now of the 100th Regt). For distinguished gallantry at the North Taku Fort. This officer was carrying the Queen's Colours of the Regiment, and first planted the Colours on the breach made by the storming party, assisted by Private Lane, and subsequently on the cavalier of the fort, which he was first to mount. In doing this he was severely wounded".
The action took place on 14th August 1860, and is second only to the famous Rorke's Drift action for the number of Victoria Crosses awarded for action at any one time. Of the seven Victoria Crosses awarded for the assault on the Taku Forts (China), five were won by the 67th Regiment.
John Chaplin became a Captain in the 8th Hussars in 1864, and a Major in 1878. From 1868 to 1874 he was an extra aide-de-camp to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland. He married Isabel Thompson at Bishopsthorpe, Yorkshire, on 22nd August 1871.
John Chaplin was promoted to Lieutenant-Colonel in 1879 and commanded the 8th Queen's Royal Irish Hussars in the Afghanistan Campaign of 1879-1880, He 1883 he became a Colonel on half-pay, and in 1887 was created a Companion of the Order of the Bath. He retired in 1888, taking up residence at Kibworth Hall, where he lived for over 30 years. He died in Market Harborough on 19th August 1920.
His Victoria Cross was presented to the Hampshire Regiment on 19th March 1964 by his grandson, and is kept in the Regimental Museum at Winchester.
John Chaplin was the founder and first President of Kibworth Golf Club in 1904/05. He is commemorated by the 'Chaplin Room' in the club-house in Weir Road, which houses the print, right, depicting Ensign Chaplin engaged in the action for which he later received his Victoria Cross.
He is buried in Kibworth cemetery, his grave marked by the largest memorial in the cemetery.
Colonel John Worthy Chaplin C.B., V.C.

H2020 - Collaborative projects
Europe in a changing world - PROTECT
'PROTECT The Right to International Protection. A Pendulum between Globalization and Nativization?' is an EU-funded research project studying international refugee protection and governance. The vision of PROTECT is to discover ways of advancing the international protection system within today's turbulent political context. We consist of 11 partner universities in Europe, Canada, and South Africa. The project is led by Professor Hakan G. Sicakkan on behalf of the Department of Comparative Politics at the University of Bergen, Norway.
PROTECT studies the impacts of the United Nations' Global Refugee Compact and Global Migration Compact on the functioning of the international refugee protection system. This investigation will be done from the perspectives of political theory, legal theory, cleavage theory, public sphere theory, multilevel global governance, and ethnography.
The entities focused on are the UNHCR and IOM (the global level), the European Union and the African Union (regional level), EU countries, Canada and South Africa (state level), and Canadian, South-African and South-European border zones (the local level).
Empirically, PROTECT engages in extensive legal, institutional, attitudinal, and media content data collection. As part of its empirical work, it aims to identify the changes in the notion of refugee protection due to the introduction of the two UN Global Compacts.
Conceptually, PROTECT endeavors to develop a notion of refugee protection that is sensitive to the current political realities. Theoretically, it aspires to develop a theory explaining why a notion of refugee and refugee protection governance, and not other competing notions, wins the race at the global level.
These are the objectives of PROTECT
develop the conceptual, theoretical, and methodological tools needed to understand the right to international protection as a multilevel and trans-level phenomenon,
identify whether or how the objectives and substance of the Global Compacts are aligned with the right to international protection (the rights dimension),
assess which governance modes (actors, structures, and networks) serve best the goal of aligning the Global Compacts with the right to international protection (the governance dimension),
detect societal discourses which promote the recognition of the primacy of human rights and the right to international protection (the recognition dimension), and
based on the above, discover ways of aligning the Global Compacts with human rights and the right to international protection.
Role of Ghent University
Ghent University co-leads work package three of the project: 'The impacts of the GRC and GMC on the governance of international protection: institutional architectures of asylum determination'. We investigate the historical origin of the asylum institutions in Europe and their effectiveness and efficiency in providing protection to refugees. The main purpose of our investigation is to give policy advice on how to improve the recommendations of the United Nations' Global Refugee Compact and Global Migration Compact for an optimal refugee protection.
Prof. dr. Frank Caestecker who is a historian of training and has published extensively on immigration and refugee policy in 20th century Europe is assisted in this research by drs. Eva Ecker, master in public administration.
In addition to this main task, Ghent University also contributes to the implementation of work package one: 'Developing theoretical, conceptual and methodological approaches to international protection', work package nine: 'Dissemination, Communication and Exploitation of Knowledge', and work package ten: 'Coordination and Management'.

As much as we enjoyed Sol Duc, the Liard Hot Springs were great too. The trail to get to the springs is a board walk through the marsh. The pool nearest the springs is hotter – the temperature of the water is 130 at the source. The pool is clear, with black rocks on the bottom. It really feels good on your feet. In addition to the bear and bison along the road today, we saw Canadian geese feeding here.

Home / News / Vatican served with court documents in Wis. abuse case (UPDATE)
Vatican served with court documents in Wis. abuse case (UPDATE)
By: Associated Press	April 12, 2011 3:14 pm
By CARRIE ANTLFINGER
MILWAUKEE (AP) — The Vatican has been served with court papers stemming from decades-old allegations of sexual abuse against a now-deceased priest at a Wisconsin school for the deaf, attorneys for the accuser and the Vatican said Tuesday.
Jeff Anderson, an attorney for the man making the allegations, said he had been notified the papers were successfully filed through official diplomatic channels.
"Every time we make a step forward, as long as that takes, we are going in the right direction," Anderson said. "And the direction we're headed is a measure of accountability. We really believe that we need to put some heat on the Vatican to bring some light."
The Vatican's U.S.-based attorney, Jeffrey Lena, said Tuesday that he still has to evaluate the papers to determine whether they meet the requirements imposed by U.S. law.
"It's premature to comment what will happen next in the case," he said.
The lawsuit was filed nearly a year ago in federal court on behalf of Terry Kohut, now of Chicago. It claims Pope Benedict XVI and two other top Vatican officials knew about allegations of sexual abuse at St. John's School for the Deaf outside Milwaukee and called off internal punishment of the accused priest, the Rev. Lawrence Murphy.
In October a U.S. federal judge asked the Vatican to cooperate in the serving of court papers. The Vatican was not obliged to comply with the request.
In January, Anderson said representatives of his office served the lawsuit at the Vatican's office of the Assessor for General Affairs, but that it was returned via Federal Express. At the time, the Vatican's lawyer, Lena, said the lawsuit should have been served through diplomatic channels as would be done with any foreign state.
Kohut's lawsuit alleges Murphy molested him for several years starting around 1960 while Murphy worked at the school for the deaf. The lawsuit contends Joseph Ratzinger, who is now Pope Benedict XVI; Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, the Vatican secretary of state, and his predecessor, Cardinal Angelo Sodano conspired to keep quiet decades of abuse allegations against Murphy.
Murphy, who died in 1998, allegedly sexually abused some 200 boys at the deaf school from 1950 to 1974.
In 1996, Milwaukee Archbishop Rembert Weakland complained about Murphy in a letter to the Vatican's Congregation for the Doctrine of Faith, the powerful Vatican office led by then-Cardinal Ratzinger from 1981 until he became pope in 2005.
That office initially ordered Weakland to hold a canonical trial against Murphy in 1997 but later changed course after a letter from Murphy. The Vatican noted Murphy's advanced age, failing health and lack of further allegations.
Kohut wrote two letters to Sodano in 1995, reporting he had been abused by Murphy and asking for help. Kohut's lawsuit contends he "continues to suffer great pain of mind and body, shock, emotional distress, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, disgrace, humiliation and loss of enjoyment of life" — as well as years of lost job income and bills for medical and psychological treatment.
The Vatican argues it's not liable for clerical sex-abuse cases under canon law and a church structure that holds bishops — and not Rome — responsible for disciplining pedophile priests.
Anderson also has a pending lawsuit against the Vatican in Oregon for a man who claims he was abused at his Catholic school in the 1960s. Anderson has asked a federal judge to require the pope and the other Vatican officials to testify.

What's up guys, my name is Drew Gregory and many online may actually know me as "BasserDrew." I am blessed to be a professional kayak angler, where I primarily design and promote great fishing boats for all the kayak anglers out there! I have been fishing since my mom and dad could put a rod and reel in my hand, but kayak fishing exclusively since early 2003, and have been fortunate to land many citation sized fish. However, similar to how a parent gets more joy out of watching their child catch that trophy, today I get a bigger thrill watching others out there catch their lunker out of boats that the the Jackson team and I have developed to make your kayak fishing as stellar as possible!
I was born in Fort Worth, TX, grew up in Atlanta, GA, went to college in Cleveland, TN, but currently reside in Charlotte, NC, where I am sort of a big kid in that I treat the waters in the southeast like a giant playground! I refuse to grow up. I refuse to listen to others when they say "it can't be done." The word "impossible" is not in my vocabulary, except for just then when I had to use it to tell you that it wasn't in my vocabulary…haha. I love life and am excited to share my passion for it with others. I know I am annoyingly optimistic and that is why every year I still think the Atlanta Braves, Falcons and Georgia Bulldogs will win the championship…it rarely happens…but, there is always next year! Told you I was annoyingly optimistic.
Hey Drew . I have been fishing the world famous Hwy 36 bridge to the bottom of yellow jacket for about 12 years now – mostly wading the river . I had a pal that passed away a couple years back that owned property below the Riverbend reataurant and we just jumped in and had at it . I just happened along a single fisherman last year camping on the banks at The FLint Outdoor center last spring -John Japuntich – we fished down to the podiddy bridge and had a blast . Did not know you Guy's were pals until I just watched one of your videos. Cool . This was my first introduction to a Jackson Kayak . That Coosa John had looked like a fine boat . Since , I have purchased my own Coosa , just happened to find a new 2015 Model in camo and can't wait to hit the shoals with this boat and I know it will be a fun ride .Maybe we will see you around the river sometime .
That's awesome Jay! Thanks for sharing the story and I look forward to hopefully running into you on the river some day! Enjoy that Coosa and believe me when I tell you that she likes to be taken on wild, crazy adventures no matter how rocky or remote the river is.

The TV Show
By Carrie Miller
Digital culture is often celebrated for its democratising power—the emancipatory capacity for almost anyone to produce and transmit images. At the same time, the mainstreaming of digital technologies has caused profound anxiety. There is a fear that our ability to generate endless images of ourselves in order to be 'liked' has fuelled an epidemic of narcissism, and that our almost unlimited access to free porn has distorted the otherwise innocent sexuality of teenagers.
It's easy to believe these types of moral panics are unique to our time, but anxieties around new mass cultural forms are not the singular domain of the internet age. Eighteenth century cultural commentators were concerned with the threat reading novels posed to youth. They spoke of reading 'addiction' and reading 'mania'—reading was pathologised in much the same way as our 'addiction' to digital media. As with all fears about the rapid uptake of new technological forms by young people, the rise of the novel and the democratisation of reading felt like a threat to the old social order, inspiring a reactionary backlash that is familiar to us today.
Somewhere between Goethe's The Sorrows of Young Werther and PornHub exists the TV. Television was considered the 'idiot box'—a kind of secular opium of the masses that kept us entertained while evil corporations turned us into fat, dumb consumers of the right brand of fizzy drink.
But like all forms of mass culture, the social and cultural impacts of TV are more nuanced and contradictory than moral conservatives—or their progressive counterparts—would have us believe.
This ambiguous social and cultural space is where Daniel Mudie Cunningham lives. The golden thread running through his practice is an ongoing aesthetic and ethical negotiation of the pop cultural archive filtered through the cool, ironic gaze of a critical theorist, and animated by the almost hysterical enthusiasm of a fan. Cunningham—both as an artist and a curator—is concerned with the political implications of the ways in which identities are produced in and through mass visual culture.
The TV Show, now on view at Wollongong Art Gallery, is the latest iteration of this theoretical project. Cunningham has curated eight early and mid-career artists with diverse cultural backgrounds into an exhibition that showcases how personal experience is intimately connected with the larger social and political structures that shape it.
Liam Colgan's video of the artist dancing ('Caught in Reflection' (2014)) plays adjacent to a mirror propped against the wall that is adorned with shredded denim and chain ('From Looking To Feeling' (2018)). The mirror stands as a type of relic from an adolescent bedroom, reflecting the secrets of a teenager's narcissistic fantasies. The endless video loop of Colgan practising music-video-inspired dance moves suggests a young person's repetitive demands for attention: 'Look at me!' But Colgan's work is also emblematic of the overtly political ways our identities are themselves performances in a world where we all have an audience—ones that we can try on for size, like clothes in a dressing room, and ones that others dress us up, in order to style us in their own image.

Giselle Stanborough's 'Pleasure Drill' (2018) is a two-channel video inspired by the artist's many failed attempts to become a participant on the hit reality show, The Bachelorette. Her long-time preoccupation with the show ironically mimics the dogged quest for love that consumes the contestants. Stanborough's work embodies the contradiction at the heart of the very concept of reality TV—what is real and what is for the camera?—and reframes it as a broader existential question about the nature of truth and identity in an infotainment world.
In 'Marathon (Black Mirror)' (2018), Sara Morawetz documents her binge watching of the acclaimed spec-fiction series. The multiple images that constitute the video of reaction shots capture a range of her emotional responses to this marathon viewing session. Morawetz's work reminds us of the way feelings can have the rehearsed quality of a movie audition: 'act happy', 'act sad', 'now act surprised!', 'cut!' By reducing her own set of experiences to a media production, the artist exposes the way in which even our own private emotional states are never simply a 'natural' expression of our inner world. Instead, what Morawetz is suggesting is that every aspect of who we are is shot through with the cultural forces that shape us.
The work of JD Reforma engages the phenomenon most often blamed for clogging the arteries of culture and constricting the blood flow of taste and decency: the Kardashians. In 'Gender Reveal' (2018), the artist recreates the oversized floral wall the Kardashian women have used as an Instagram-ready backdrop for their baby showers. It's now so iconic that fans use it as a stage set for their own lives, creating a version of themselves fit for public consumption. Reforma's work recognises the value of this banal bit of decoration as a cultural object, symbolic of the way these reality TV superstars are nothing more than blank screens onto which we project ideas about ourselves to the world.

Liam O'Brien's extended video work—'Empty Avenues (Best of Season 1)' (2018)—is perhaps the most explicitly concerned with the question of identity. By recoding his own life in the formal language of the TV sitcom, O'Brien reveals some bleak existential truths. The Kafkaesque situation comedy considers the ways in which our own sense of self is always, already implicated in the dominant cultural narratives about identity that are mobilised via the mass media. It also gestures towards the possibility of counter-narratives that could subvert this prevailing order from within by employing its own commercially produced strategies of manipulation.
All the works in The TV Show consider, in different ways, the ethical and political implications of the blurring of information and entertainment in mass visual culture. As an exhibition, it demonstrates the way in which—for this generation of media savvy contemporary artists—the seductive visual power of TV can be harnessed to critical effect. Through a clever use of the techniques of the medium, and an often artfully ironic relationship to its contents, the material drama of the show reveals the possibilities and limitations of the performative nature of our identities through the theatre of the mass media.

On Tuesday, March 6th 2012, our team at Scantherma took to the skies on an aerial excursion that was as thrilling as it was informative. With daytime temperatures hitting 40C and an expected minimum of only 24C, the night presented us with a unique ability to capture a 'moment' of energy use across the city. Using state-of-the-art thermal equipment and a special night-fitted R66 helicopter provided by Jandakot-based Rotorvation, Scantherma successfully completed an aerial thermal imagery trial over Perth.
Scantherma has been working hard over the past year to develop and implement a strategy for identifying and mapping energy usage with the use of airborne systems. As the climate is one of the greatest influences on energy usage, it was imperative that the 'moment' our team went ahead with this project was one of either excessive heat or cold. The 40-degree day allowed for an ideal opportunity.
"It has been a pleasure to be involved with this innovative company and we look forward to many more flights," added Watson.
All data was benchmarked spatially against GPS readings. This was very important as it allowed us to place any captured imagery over existing 'day-time' aerial and satellite imagery for real-life, point of view comparisons.
The imagery showed dark blue areas as cooler areas, and yellow and white areas as warmer and hotter areas respectively. This mapped temperature gradient can outline energy use according to radiation dynamics. For instance, homes with air conditioners blasting away on the hot night were dark blue, or homes with poor or no insulation showed up in yellow. In contrast, static physical bodies such as roads could be easily seen since they are still emitting energy, or heat, well into the night. They are shown as very bright yellow or white areas.
Energy use by roof discrimination. Dark blue homes have steel roofs. Orange homes have ceramic roofs and insulation. Light orange to yellow homes have ceramic roofs and no insulation.
Assessment of roof structures for inefficiency.
Micro-climate influence of vegetation. Cooler dark blue region in the middle of the image is a mix of parkland and scrub.
Excess drainage run-off from urban areas. Illegal dumping of pollutants can be distinguished.
Fluvial geomorphology shown clearly by mixing of brackish and salt water.
Thermal aerial image of Perth skyline. The Perth Convention Centre is shown here as dark blue structure due to its steel roof which directly reflects upper atmospheric temperature.
"The quality of data collected, coupled with the existing remote sensing methodology which we have been working on for the past 6 months, will now allow us to move the program to other major population centres on the East Coast," said Farhand.
The images clearly identify homes with inefficient air-conditioning, homes with missing or non-existent insulation, homes emitting excessive heat or excessive cold air, as well as inefficient building and periphery structures. The images also show commercial premises with inefficient energy ratings and structural faults, moisture leaks, and so on.
In terms of urban planning, the imagery distinguishes urban heat cells, roads, driveways, parks and recreational areas. It also has applications for environmental management, being able to identify and highlight areas with water pollution and excess drainage run-off, as well as mapping of wetlands and more.
Combined with terrestrial thermal inspections, the aerial thermal imagery collected makes for a cost effective approach in mapping and evaluating energy leaks in areas of interest. It is perfect for councils and key decision makers concerned with energy efficiency, management and use in their local area.
The extremely engaging imagery makes it an essential tool for raising public awareness of energy use, and raises the profile of the council or organisation to showcase community initiatives. It is also extremely useful in niche targeted marketing campaigns: for instance, homes without insulation can be mapped, providing a direct marketing opportunity to insulation vendors.
Where to now and how does it apply to you?
We at Scantherma are happy to share our expertise. If you think your industry would benefit from it, and would like to know more about how our thermal imagery and data findings could help your business to continue to grow with the changing tides, don't hesitate to contact us to arrange a presentation and/or workshop for your organisation.
Finally, Scantherma would like to thank FLIR, and especially Mr Steve Blott for his input advice throughout the trial. We are proud to be involved with such a supportive organisation.

When people think of stunts, they usually think of Evil Knievel sending his motorcycle over fountains in Las Vegas. The guys at Dude Perfect, though, do things a little differently.
The bros uploaded a video Monday to their popular YouTube channel showcasing the dudes' version of a stunt-drive battle. Whether it's drifting a Ford Fiesta into a parking spot or navigating makeshift go-karts through obstacle courses, these guys sure know how to spend a day at the office.
While the parallel-park and cardboard-cutout challenges seemed reasonably fair, we're calling shenanigans on the final kart race. We're not saying the course has to look like Talladega Superspeedway, but at least leave a little room for passing.
Personally, we're more fond of airborne stunts where the risk of danger is cranked to another level, but this battle still looks like a ton of fun.

Iran, India to boost Maritime cooperation
Managing director of the Iran-India Shipping Corporation, said: "Once the sanctions are lifted, most of the ties among Iran and India will be expanded in trade and sea transport, therefore a significant increase in exports is expected."
Tehran and New Delhi have agreed to boost sea transport, said Jamshid Khalili on his visit to New Delhi on Saturday, MANA reported.
He said: "Iran and India are going to expand maritime cooperation, following the removal of sanctions against the Islamic Republic."
Managing director of the Iran-India Shipping Corporation said that in his last visit to New Delhi most of difficulties of the Iran-India Shipping Corporation were resolved. He stated: "Currently the licenses issued to the Iranian vessels are valid only for one year, but the Indian officials have promised to issue permanent shipping licenses for Iranian ships to solve the insurance problems faced by the Iranian vessels."
He mentioned that some of the Iranian vessels face some issues on Indian waters: "Following this agreement, the Indian side will resolve the issues faced by Iranian vessels on Indian waters."
He said that sea transport is one of the least expensive ways to transport goods. "Following this agreement, trade and sea transport will increase significantly between Iran and India."
Khalili said: "Iran and India enjoy satisfactory maritime facilities; therefore, by the expansion of relations between Tehran and New Delhi, the infrastructure for better trade and commerce will be made."
He added: "Currently, both in Iran and India, a large amount of goods are exported in containers or as bulk via vessels. Sea transport is remarkably valued by both countries."
Managing director of the Iran-India Shipping Corporation said that joint comprehensive plan of action and the removal of sanctions, will expand trade and sea transport between Tehran and New Delhi. "Once the sanctions are lifted, most of the ties among Iran and India will be expanded in trade and sea transport, therefore a significant increase in exports is expected."
In recent years, Tehran and New Delhi have done a lot to accelerate the completion of joint transit and transport projects in the port city of Chabahar, southern Iran.

Think you know the costs of MNsure?
Hidden MNsure Costs lead to higher property taxes
By now most Minnesotans realize the Affordable Care Act has drastically increased the cost of healthcare coverage for many people while decreasing coverage choices.
Governor Mark Dayton has confirmed the worsening prognosis with his admission that "the reality is the Affordable Care Act is no longer affordable to increasing numbers of people."
What's not widely known is that taxpayers are also being gouged for millions of dollars a year on their property tax bills because of ongoing problems with MNsure, the state's health insurance exchange.
This hidden tax, borne by counties, is used to compensate for the inefficiencies and software failures of MNsure's dysfunctional IT system.
State officials once promised that the system—officially called the Minnesota Eligibility and Technology System (METS)—would make the process of enrolling and verifying participants faster and cheaper.
Yet behind the scenes, county eligibility workers have been tearing out their hair over a malfunctioning IT system that's never come close to living up to its billing since MNsure went online three years ago. In fact, it's gotten worse.
The Minnesota Association of Counties estimates taxpayers spend an additional $27 million annually to work around the flawed online METS technology. This year alone, some 249 extra eligibility workers were added to county government payrolls statewide.
The number of new government employees added to county payrolls has varied widely across the state, ranging from 54 in Hennepin County to two in Pennington County. Consequently, county levies are rising across the state.
The $800,000 in increased costs to staff MNsure in Olmsted County account for about a third of a proposed 2.5 percent levy increase on the table. In Pennington County, the MNsure penalty adds up to about two percent of the tax levy—a big deal in a county with a population of 15,000.
It's a double whammy. Many Minnesotans are not only paying more and getting less due to the Affordable Care Act's harmful effect on the health insurance marketplace; they're also being forced to further subsidize an online exchange that's still dysfunctional three years after its launch.

Inversago Pharma reeled in a $7 million series A round to move a suite of next-generation cannabinoid receptor-1 (CB1) blockers into the clinic. The Montreal-based startup is developing the drugs for Prader-Willi syndrome, as well as metabolic disorders including diabetes.
Other companies have developed CB1 inhibitors for metabolic conditions. While they were able to cross the blood-brain barrier and showed "striking efficacy" in the clinic, these drugs worked in the central nervous system (CNS), leading "to psychiatric adverse events which caused the termination of all first generation CB1 inverse agonist programs," Inversago said in a statement.
Inversago is working on CB1 blockers whose action is restricted to the peripheral CB1 receptors. The hope is they will be able to treat conditions, such as obesity, Type 2 diabetes, nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and fibrosis without causing behavioral or CNS side effects.
"The clear demonstration of peripheral action with very low brain occupancy shapes the path toward the reinstated first-in-class therapeutics for several unmet medical needs," added Elizabeth Douville, managing partner at AmorChem, which co-led the financing alongside Genesys Capital. The JDRF T1D Fund, Accel-Rx, Anges Québec Capital, Anges Québec, Tarnagulla Ventures and angel investors also participated.
"JDRF has long recognized the potential of CB1 blockade for Type 1 diabetes, as a potential first β-cell targeted therapy for this condition. We are excited to invest and strategically support Inversago as it develops new oral drugs which have the potential to be a game-changer for the community," said Jonathan Behr, managing director at the JDRF T1D Fund.
Others are working on cannabinoid receptor-aimed drugs, as well as cannabinoid-based treatments.
Arena Pharmaceutical is targeting another cannabinoid receptor—its olorinab is an orally available agonist of the CB2 receptor. It is in the clinic for the treatment of pain associated with Crohn's disease.
And GW Pharma's Epidiolex, a purified form of cannabidiol, became the first cannabis-based drug to get the FDA nod. However, GW's ability to market the drug in the U.S. depends on the Drug Enforcement Administration reclassifying cannabidiol, the active ingredient of Epidiolex and the component of cannabis that does not cause users to feel "high."
As it stands, cannabis remains a Schedule I drug, meaning the DEA deems it to have "no currently accepted medical use and a high potential for abuse."
Editor's note: This story was updated to clarify that Inversago's treatments target cannabinoid receptors, but are not cannabis-based.

Rémy Martin's heritage of excellence dates back three centuries.
Any connoisseur would agree: The most important aspect of cognac craftsmanship comes down to a sense of place. Terroir – the distinctive characteristics of the soil, climate, weather and history of the land where a cognac is made – is the very essence of the spirit. In 1738, impressed by the quality of his cognac, King Louis XV of France granted winemaker Rémy Martin exclusive permission to plant new vineyards, in what's now known as the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions, through a rare royal accord. The pale, chalky soil proved to be ideal for ripening the grapes, and by the mid-1800s Rémy Martin cognac was being sold all over the world. Today, nearly 300 years since its inception, the brand is still dedicated to using only the most aromatic grapes from the highest quality crus.
After the grapes are pressed, the wine goes through two distillations in copper pot stills, emerging as eau de vie, and is then aged for at least two years in oak barrels. Loiseau tries more than a thousand different varieties between November and March to decide which will go into his cognac. "We have two or three sessions a day, nosing 25 to 30 samples," he says. "We must judge how these eaux de vie will age and are emblematic of the Grande and Petite Champagne regions." Once he has selected the best, they are blended to achieve the end result: exceptionally aromatic and complex cognac. Up to 400 of Loiseau's selections are blended to create Rémy Martin XO.
As essential as terroir is patience. An excellent cognac reveals itself with the passage of time. Hence Rémy Martin XO is aged longer than other cognacs – a minimum of 10 years in French oak casks – and is blended using only eaux de vie from the Grande Champagne and Petite Champagne regions. This careful craftsmanship produces a deep amber cognac with a lingering, velvety rich body that hasn't gone unnoticed: It won a gold medal at the 2010 Spirits Business Cognac Masters in the U.K. and a gold medal at the 2014 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
"Cognac is traditionally served in a snifter – a bell-shaped glass with a small opening that encourages aromatics in the spirit to meet the nose," Swain says. "You're going to get nuanced notes of grapes, nutmeg and even some mild chocolate." Pairing options for Rémy Martin XO are infinite, but Swain does have a few favourite combinations. Click through for his suggestions.

James Blake – album review
The human mind craves order, and as much as electronic artist James Blake excels in creating edginess and imbalance in his music, what makes him exceptional is his ability to underpin the proceedings with deep, resonating patterns. Blake doesn't create conventional pop music — he employs warbling distortion, oddly timed cut-aways, glitch-ridden piano loops, and a near-complete lack of verse-chorus arrangements. In many of the songs on his eponymous debut, there are long, pregnant pauses between notes, lending even the gentlest of sounds a sense of massive potential, like heavy objects raised high and poised to fall. But amidst the deconstruction and uneasy silences are moments of clarity, where the fractured pieces briefly align and you're rewarded with subtle, breathtaking beauty.
As an up and coming dubstep producer, Blake's been at the center of a sonic movement (detailed more fully in Pitchfork article New Vocabulary) that spilled over into the public's consciousness in 2007 with Burial's landmark album Untrue, in which ghostly vocal samples are spliced over beats and ambient electronics. While he's only 22, Blake's prowess in the studio is well-documented on EP's The Bells Sketch, CMYK and Klavierwerke. But what makes James Blake truly stand out from previous efforts is the discovery that he's been carrying a secret weapon inside his coat — that voice.
Blake's emergence as an R&B crooner is nothing short of a revelation. Soulful, blue-eyed, and emboldened with a sense of aching beyond his years, his voice is one of the great ones; the comparison may seem brash, but consider if Radiohead began their career with a few EPs containing instrumentals similar to "Kid A" and "TreeFingers," then decided to let Thom Yorke unleash his pipes as an afterthought on album #2. It's that kind of ace up the sleeve that Blake's got. It's like he's just been practicing with other people's vocal samples on his EPs as a way of saying: "I can create this kind of tension with anything I find lying around in the record bin. I just wanted to let you know that before I sing my ass off."
Perhaps the most remarkable quality of Blake's voice is its malleability. Like liquid, it conforms to the space that it's given. Alongside the acoustic guitar riff on "Lindisfarne, Pt. 2", it recalls the pained longing of Bon Iver, when paired with "Limit To Your Love's" sumptuous piano chords, it achieves Bryan Ferry's effortless romanticism, and when placed within "Give Me My Month's" baroque confines, it assumes Antony Hegarty's unearthly timbre. Blake intuitively seems to know when to push his range, and when to reel it in; for every time he distorts and electronically modulates his vocals to add to your sense of disquietude, he finds the right moments when to leave it bare ("Limit To Your Love") for devastating emotional effect.
While often enigmatic, the album's lyrics teem with a sense of estrangement and sadness. On aptly-titled "I Never Learnt to Share" Blake reveals: "My brother and my sister don't speak to me/ But I don't blame them," while on "Lindisfarne pt. 1," Blake painfully wonders "Won't tomorrow come?" And although aforementioned "Limit To Your Love" is a cover of a Feist song, Blake distills the original to its sensual, mournful essence, making the message all his own. It serves as the album's taut, emotional center.
But the stand out track here is "The Wilhem Scream." Rarely does the song of the year come out in February, but it's hard to believe anything will top it. Over a bed of slinking, hazy synthesizers, Blake cries: "I don't know about my dreams/I don't know about my dreamin' anymore/ All that I know is I'm falling, falling, falling, falling/Might as well fall in." It's tender, sorrowful, and unbelievably sexy all at once — the kind of virtuoso vocal performance whose outpouring of naked emotion recalls D'Angelo's "Untitled (How Does It Feel)" or Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U." One YouTube user's comment on "The Wilhelm Scream's" music video claims: "Listening to this on public transport at night with good headphones is like mixing a panic attack with an orgasm." Even without personal experience, I find it difficult to disagree.
For something so mechanized and spartan, you'll feel a hell of a lot of things when you listen to this album. Minimalistic and delicate in execution, but gigantic in impact, James Blake is as much a personal paean to the complexity of Blake's emotions as it is a universal mirror of our own. It's hard to see how Blake will improve upon this record, but then again, I don't think anyone saw the evolution between Klavierwerke and James Blake coming either. So delve in deeply and let this album take you where it will. And be sure to wear headphones.
