IKEMEN (ē´k´mɛn): Japanese Slang
Yasmina Alaoui burst onto the international arts scene in 2003 with "Tales of Beauty," a collection of nude portraits of Rubenesque women, and in the ensuing years, she has consistently used her art to challenge our modern standards of beauty and provoke dialogue about culture through her use of iconographic symbols. Ever experimental with her techniques and materials, Yasmina's newest exhibit at the Opera Gallery in New York features expansive compositions that employ sand, gravel, plaster, ash, broken ceramics, and other nontraditional materials to explore the bi-cultural landscape of her French-Moroccan heritage. On the eve of her exhibition's opening, she took a moment to speak to TWELV about her life in art:
1. When you collaborated with photographer Marco Guerra on "Tales of Beauty" followed by "1001 Dreams," (which consisted of life-sized nudes shot by Marco fused with your complex ink drawings), did you have any sense of the impact they would have on your career? How did the projects take form?
It was exciting to have the opportunity to work with Marco, who has since become a dear friend. At the time, I was just really focused on both projects and creating something impactful through this collaboration. Though the partnership did have global recognition, I was just happy to combine forces with Marco and explore the human experience through art.
2. There is a delicate tightrope that a creative soul must walk between art and commerce. Your pieces tend to be large and impactful, and you have worked with many different mediums over the years. Do you ever consider whether a piece might be viable for sale to a private donor or attractive to museum curators during your creative process, or do you just adhere to your vision, whatever may come of it?
I have always been interested in cultural uses of mediums and am fascinated by the exploration of the line between science, nature, multicultural traditions and contemporary art making. I tend to adhere to my own vision since that is what is most important to me as an artist.
3. Your new series of 20 abstract compositions will comprise your first solo exhibition at the Opera Gallery in New York. Congratulations! You use a variety of innovative materials to create an evocative three-dimensional form which includes sacred Islamic geometry imbedded in the layers. What are the main ideas you wanted to convey and how did you arrive at the medium that you chose?
The essence of this exhibition continues to explore my diverse cultural background and is really a testament to the world I live in. I have a nomadic lifestyle and work with raw and man-made materials that each location offers (in this case salt, gravel, ash, kohl, pigment, paint, plaster and broken ceramics). Through the integration of these different elements and dimensions, these works evoke mysticism and spirituality alongside base reality.
4. What was the timeframe for the creation of these 20 pieces? Do you work exclusively on one project at a time or do you tend to jump from piece to piece?
I started working on this project five years ago, and I have been working on this particular exhibit for two years.
5. You are of French and Moroccan descent, and many of your works pay homage to Islamic history in a very unique and sometimes irreverent way. Given the volatile climate of current global affairs, have you ever faced criticism or backlash from religious traditionalists?
Yes, and I am extremely thankful for this. My multicultural upbringing impacts every decision I make, both in my work and my life. It opens up diverse views and perspectives to any situation.
6. Many of your artworks over the years have involved the fusing and balancing of polar opposites: the spiritual and the profane, the beautiful and the flawed, the classical and the contemporary. Do you seek to resolve these conflicts in your work or is it more about depicting the struggle between extremes?
The new installation continues to explore my bi-cultural upbringing; bridging extremes while embracing opposites. My diverse background is especially accentuated in my recent abstract compositions, in which two layers are superimposed; bringing opposites together.
7. Did your use of innovative mediums and exploration of opposites begin when you studied Fine Arts at the Carrousel du Louvre in Paris and Sculpture at William and Mary or did it take time for you to establish your voice as an artist after you completed your studies?
These new abstract compositions evoke vast mineralogical landscapes seen from the sky, ruins of an ancient village, a civilization that has disappeared, images of destruction or of looming human catastrophe, etc. I think my cultural upbringing had the most impact and drove me to be inspired by it rather than what I was taught in school.
8. Which artists did you find particularly inspiring or influential in the development of your techniques and approach to art?
I enjoy contemporary artists who use unusual mediums, almost as chemistry, and who use references to biology and geology, but always in the realm of abstraction. I admire Kiefer, Tara Donovan and Anish Kapoor. I also love Damian Hirst's obsession with science and death.
9. We realize that some time may pass between the completion of a series and an exhibition. Have you already begun working on your next project? What themes or mediums are you interested in exploring in the future?
I am focusing on large scale sculptures, and multi-medium installations (video, sound, performance) to further explore my cultural background and looking at how they evolve through time.

"We have officially announced our view that economic terrorism should end," Rabiyee said on Monday.
Asked if a channel has been opened up for talks with the US, he said that the only channel is the Swiss embassy, which represents the US interests in Iran.
Rabiyee also referred to the US sanctions imposed on Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif, and said that he is slated to leave for Paris within the next few days and the sanctions are in fact sanctioning the US itself from dialogue.
In relevant remarks in July, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif blasted the US for practicing economic terrorism against Tehran, saying that it had targeted the country's ordinary people.
Speaking to reporters before the annual meeting of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) in New York, Zarif said that the US had engaged in an economic war against the Iranian nation.
The economic war Trump takes pride in has targeted the civilians, he said.
The war has targeted ordinary people, as it is a terrorist move to push political plans and this should be halted, Zarif said, noting that translation of terrorism in legal terms is "to change a country's policies or make the public change their ways".
This is the very thing the Americans are doing, as US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said that this is a terrorist policy and "we will never talk to the terrorists", he stated.

A wooden professionally restored Sciarelli catboat
The boat:
Known as the Catboat (.…It is generally accepted that the origin of the catboat type was in New York around 1840 and from there spread east and south as the virtues of the type — simplicity, ease of handling, shallow draft, large capacity — were discovered. Historically, they were used for fishing and transport in the coastal waters around… wikipedia
NaLu was built in Trieste in 1978. It is one of eight that were built from the design of the famous naval architect Carlo Schiarrelli, who owned a catboat himself!The boat is 7.50 mt. long, very deep and 3.36 mt. wide creating a very spacious interior.The saloon space is used also as a very comfortable double bedroom and is equipped with a kitchen with sweet and sea tap water, ample refrigerator and an additional bed, normally used for storage space.In front is a separate cabin for two.There is also an electric flush toilet with sink and sweet tap water.The special feature of this boat is its lift keel which makes her very suitable for cruising in the Laguna. The other unique feature is the one huge sail, almost 40m2!
Nalu Images of the interior, in Vence, in Faros-Hvar, Paxos, Kefalonia …)
During 2010-2013 the boat was professionally restored and the restoration was even published in the book: Barche in Legno by Andrea Cappai, Lorenzo Luxich.

We developed a new multiplexed-PCR assay to accurately classify Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex (MTC) isolates at the sublineage level by single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). This method relies on 7 SNPs located in different genes of the MTC strains ( recC , rec0 , recR , ligB , ligC , alkA , and mgtC ). Most of these genes are involved in replication, repair and recombination (3R) functions of M . tuberculosis strains, four of the mutations are synonymous, and thus neutral. Genes were chosen as a first empirical approach to assess the congruence between spoligotyping-based phylogeographical classification and SNP typing. This scheme efficiently classifies most of MTC phylogeographical groups: (1) confirming and identifying new sublineage-specific SNPs, (2) unraveling phylogenetical relationships between spoligotyping-defined MTC sublineages, (3) appropriately assigning sublineages to some spoligotypes and reassigning sublineages to other mis-labeled spoligotype signatures. This study opens the way to a more meaningful taxonomic, evolutionary and epidemiological classification. It also allows evaluation of spoligotype-signature significance towards a more comprehensive understanding of the evolutionary mechanisms of the clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeat (CRISPR) locus in MTC.

Anglers rip into tuna
IT'S been a funny old game-fishing season but it all came together last weekend off Port Stephens and Newcastle with the waters thick with yellowfin tuna.
Plenty of boats caught them - fish ranging from 15kg up to 70kg - with reports of unbridled nature worthy of a David Attenborough documentary.
Jason "One For" Nunn, along with his son Pat, Michael Walker and Michael Shepherd joined skipper Luke Stansfield aboard Fifi for a journey 55 miles east into waters approximately 1200 fathoms deep and they were rewarded with stories that will last a lifetime.
Not to mention a number of yellowfin, one which weighed in at 68.5kg.
"Word had been filtering through since last week of fin off the coast and it got us motivated to get the band together, organise the rods and reels and pack the ice," Jason recalled.
"Intel suggested the bite was out off the bay, in about 1000 fathoms, so we headed out Sunday and after passing through some squalls we got to the back of what I guess you'd call the Newcastle canyons and set our gear.
"There were boats around us and a long-liner in the distance so we figured we were in the right spot.
"At one stage we got call from a boat, Why Knot, 20 miles south, saying they had yellowfin blowing up all around, and they dropped their coordinates.
"We toyed with moving but then thought they are up and down along the coast, you just have to be on the spot and sure enough, suddenly we had tuna leaping everywhere and it was on.
"We were surrounded by 50kg tuna smashing baits, birds pulversing water, gannets just coming in one after another going crazy, schools of oceanic gar being smashed up on the surface."
It didn't take long before Michael Walker was on, and that's when the real fun began.
"He's got hands like an octopus," Jason observed and after about an hour and 20 minutes they had a big tuna beside the boat, caught on 24kg line.
"The next trick was getting it on board and I got a bit excited and went for an early shot on the gaff and bloody well nearly went over the side with the gaff.
"That was the only gaff we had and things looked ugly at that stage but we managed to patch up a flying gaff with a few old bits and pieces."
The boys had the tuna at the boat for 35 minutes trying to deal with it.
"Pat tried to grab it by the tail and got ragged over the boat," Jason said.
"It was funny stuff but it became frustrating. While we're fighting this fish the tuna and birds were going crazy around us.
"Up front Michael Shepherd was throwing stick baits and nearly went over the bow. Luke's [skipper Stansfield] yelling from the flybridge and Mick Walker is getting fatigued.
"It was well and truly on, but we eventually got the fish in, without losing any crew, just that gaff."
Jason reports other boats experienced similar tuna tumult, with fish upwards of 40kg estimated.
Later in day the boys aboard Fifi found another patch of smaller tuna and got another four smaller fish in a four-way hook-up.
It took three hours to get back to Swansea and upon arriving around 6.30pm they duly weighed their fish (pictured).
It had been a memorable day and Jason reckons he was pretty beaten up Monday, but it was worth it.
"The last time I saw tuna of that size and in those numbers would have been back in 1998," Jason said.
"It's really got people talking again and one would hope that this is the start of something good."
The interesting thing for Jason were they were weren't just a patch of fish the one size.
"You had fish from 15kg to 70kg all mixed together," Jason said. "They were all eating this double-billed oceanic garfish - I think they call it a king garfish, or a sourie - they were spewing them up all over the deck.
"You see those old footages when the gannets pile into the water one after another.
"That was like what we were seeing. It was unbelievable, a real spectacle."
Snooze you lose
There are lot of guys gearing up to go this weekend, and Saturday and Sunday don't look too bad - about 15 knots of wind, not too rough.
"Often I find you catch a few more fish with a bit of breeze," Jason said.
"But there's no guarantee because these fish have tails and they swim. You need current and temp. We found them in 21.9 degrees and virtually no current in about 1200 fathoms.
"The stick baits worked really well because they virtually replicate these oceanic gar fish.
"But be cautious, it is a fair way out and you need to have a decent boat under your feet and a bit of experience on deck."
Getting jiggy
Closer to shore, anglers have been jigging kings off the Canyons at Norah Head. The islands off Port Stephens and further south on the Farm are producing some nice snapper and most estuaries are holding bream, tailor and flathead.

Uncle tom and little eva relationship problems
File:Edwin Longsden Long - Uncle Tom and Little 572233.info - Wikimedia Commons
Uncle Tom's Cabin is one of those books which is more likely to be cited in anger under the watchful eye of the slave trader when he sees a white girl, Eva, fall Uncle Tom's Cabin, "the tremors of which still affect the relationship between Harriet Beecher Stowe - had already influenced his young mind. UNCLE TOM'S CABIN shares characteristics of three of the most popular Other scenes noted for their emotional appeal include the death scenes of Little Eva and Tom. the river and marriage to Mina, a slave woman on his master's plantation. . Augustine St. Claire represents what Stowe saw as the biggest problem in. Everything you ever wanted to know about Uncle Tom in Uncle Tom's Cabin, written problems with the way Stowe depicts black characters, especially Uncle Tom. idyllic estate, hanging out with little golden-haired Eva and praising Jesus . to read Tom's relationship with Eva as having all those uncomfortable aspects .
It is precisely because of this performance tradition's roots in the ambiguous legacy of black blackface minstrelsy that black performance is viewed with such suspicion and disdain. Issues of identity formation, self-differentiation, object relations, and narcis- sism seem potentially crucial to comprehending how whites who were pre- sumably spectators of lynchings, either first-hand or via the many vivid newspaper accounts, also seemed to derive great satisfaction from the humor- ous spectacles of blacks as blackface performers.
Or were there, in fact, differ- ent audiences for lynchings and blackface? Eric Lott reads white blackface minstrelsy as both love and loathing for blackness Black performance in minstrelsy is the source of a great many images of blacks driven precisely by the notion of a physical and visual inferiority, pre- suming that that which looks different is at once ugly, funny, wrong, and threatening, and that differences in appearance are inextricably connected to all sorts of deficiencies of character and intellect.
Apparently, black middle- class and educated audiences were repelled by blackface minstrelsy, surmising that it was such buffoonish blacks whom whites wanted to lynch and extermi- nate.
But the facts show that the lynching whites were after the uppity blacks, not the old buffoons and blackface performers who presumably "knew their place. Scholars agree that the black blackface minstrels had their largest following among working-class black audiences. Elsewhere I have called for the need for a psychoanalytic reading, or at least a more psychologically sophisticated reading, of African American culture. By this, I am not suggesting the Lacanian-inflected, feminist-influenced interpre- tation of the mechanisms of the gaze for which cinema studies is best known.
While I sometimes greatly admire the performance of this work, it remains far too technically specific, and not visionary enough, since the issue that I am suggesting needs to be pursued is the relationship of people's lives to the sto- ries they tell themselves about themselves. The case of extensive black partici- pation in blackface minstrelsy needs to be accepted and interrogated since it means, it seems to me, that there are crucial aspects to the form that have somehow been overlooked in the haste to condemn it as hopelessly racist, and to erase all memory of it.
The relationship of performances of Uncle Tom's Cabin to blackface min- strelsy is symbiotic, with its dramatization being immediately taken over by minstrelsy, and subsequently by the proliferation of Tom Companies, which were an offshoot of the blackface minstrelsy craze. Infour stage companies were performing the work simultaneously on a daily basis in New York. The frequently comedic slant of these productions contributed to the general idea of race as a kind of mean joke on its object, a joke against which entertainment and cultural discourses continue to react to this day.
Uncle Tom as created by Harriet Beecher Stowe was nothing like the flat stock figure who has come down to us, mostly through the interventions of theatre and film, as a white-identified, elderly and cowardly bootlicker. In Stowe's novel, Uncle Tom is youthful, in the prime of life, the father of sev- eral children, and the adored husband of his wife.
He is large, strong, betrays no trace of cowardice, and there is no question that he hates slavery, and wants more than anything else to be free, although not at any cost. Tom is a deeply religious man who thinks first of others, black or white. Indeed, what enables him to endure his repeated sales and the whippings of Michele Wallace Legree is not his allegiance to white domination, but his willingness to sacri- fice his own personal goals to the greater good of his people, and his religious and spiritualconviction that his reward will be in heaven.Racism racism racism calling somebody Uncle Tom is racist
Today we may read such devotion as a sign of undue humility and self-effacement, but imagine what terror such inner freedom and fearlessnessmust have struck in the heart of the attentive slaveholder. Such determination and conviction, of one kind or another, must have been as necessary to the heroics of those much less her- alded slaves who remained on the plantation, who didn't run away in order to protect others, as they were to such famous runaway slaves and abolitionists as Frederick Douglass and HarrietJacobs.
The plot of Uncle Tom's Cabin suggests that the only alternative to Tom's sale would be to sell off a number of slaves, breaking up a variety of families in the process. Far from being a worthless bootlicker whom the whites take for granted, in a sense, Uncle Tom, as portrayed by Stowe, is the "master"of most situations on the plantations he lives on. His heroism is not the traditional masculine sort but the more ancient and altruisticbrand ofJesus Christ. In a time in which the notion of Christ as black was still far in the distance for most Americans, Stowe's conceptualization of a black Christ seems, in retrospect, revolutionary in the context of American popular culture.
And, indeed, many subsequent productions of Uncle Tom's Cabinsought to mitigate the impact of such a characterization. In regard to theatricalpresentations of the story, such productions were not alone during the early 20th century in their exploration of idealized female mu- lattoes. Idealized mulatto female charactersbegan to appear in blackface min- strelsy almost from the very beginning, although the casts of blackface troupes were all-male, and the mulattoes were played by white cross-dressers,some of whom became famous for their impersonation of women.

The coon figure, in particular, seems to predate blackface minstrelsy, and to hark back to the visual culture of an earlier period. After the Civil War, black performers took on the formulas and tropes of minstrelsy and transformed them into the riotious, anarchic subver- siveness of black comedy as it subsequently flowers in the works of Bert Wil- liams who made films, most of them lostMoms Mabley, and Pigmeat Markum, on through Richard Pryor and Chris Rock; ragtime, coon songs, gospel, blues, rhythm and blues, jazz, and musical theatre are all continuous with this tradition.
After the Civil War, white Uncle Tom productions also included large bands ofJubilee singers, and featured real blacks in various specialties. These were dominant, not marginal, performance practices through the turn of the century, especially in the provinces.
The seductive power of the plantation scenario for white audiences was evoked again and again in popular entertainment, and would carry over seamlessly into film. Particularlysuccessful examples of nostalgic performances of plantation sce- narios consistently occur throughout the turn-of-the-century period. In order to evoke a plantation scenario, wagons, mules, and hen houses were brought in as well as a cast of blacks who were employed to sing, dance, and live "pre-Civil War black social life" Krasner The first film version of Uncle Tom's Cabin, produced by the Edison Com- pany in I, starredits director Thomas Porter, in the title role in blackface, with all the other principle actors in blackface, except that real black musicians and dance troupes were used to perform dances.
The brief minute film, in which the theatrical performance tradition is most evident, consisted of a vari- ety of relatively stable tableaux of the main events of UTC, interspersed with explanatory intertitles. There are also two scenes in which blacks perform: These scenes begin a series of 20th- I48 MicheleWallace century ruptures in the rural idyll of the plantation South, which will become more and more characteristic of Hollywood's forays into this territory.
Three more film versions of the story were made in by the Vitagraph Company, Thanhouser, and Pathe Exchange.

Throughout this period, Uncle Tom's Cabin, although convention- ally stereotypical onstage and in film, could sometimes be perceived as a desta- bilizing and subversive element in racial politics.
Movies and CommercialEntertainmentin a SouthernCity,the Daughters of the Confederacy succeeded in pressuring for the passage, inof a Ken- tucky state law known as "The Uncle Tom's Cabin law," which specified that any film or show that promoted disharmony among the races could be pro- hibited from public exhibition.
For the Daughters of the Confederacy, Uncle Tom's Cabin was seen as a radicalizing and politically dangerous text despite the widespread bastardizationof Stowe's abolitionist content Waller There were three more versions made in by Imp, Kalem, and Univer- sal.
But I like to think it was something like the World Film Corpora- tion version directed by William Robert Daly, and starring the famous black actor and black minstrelsy performer and songwriter Sam Lucas in the title role, that the Daughters of the Confederacy had in mind when they intro- duced their UTC law.
Not only does this 6o-minute version return to the radicalism of Stowe's Uncle Tom's Cabin via its virtual exclusion of scenes of dancing and merrymaking although such occasions did exist in the book, on film or onstage the scenes contributed to the difficult-to-counteract impres- sion that the slaves were happy with their lotit also emphasizes the narrative about biracial Cassy's sexual exploitation by Simon Legree.
Despite the fact that she is a woman of color whose virtue has been com- promised, a still serious indictment inCassy is nevertheless portrayed as starkly heroic in her protection of both Uncle Tom and the younger mulatto figure Emmeline. Given some of the feminist writing about the HarrietJacobs narrative Incidentsin the Life of a Slave Girl I and Jacobs's heroic escape, the triple figures of mulatto women rebelling and escaping in Stowe's text and in this film-Eliza, Emmeline, and Cassy-suggest that further investigation and analysis is needed into the mulatto figure in the Igth century, for both white and black female authors.
The ambivalenceabout black women depending upon how blacknessis visu- ally defined in both Stowe's book and the I World Film version comes through the figure of Topsy, whose characterizationseems the most resistantto any kind of evolutionary change, from century to century and medium to me- dium.
Although the presentation of Topsy in the film played in blackface by Mary Irvine, the "ThanhousserKid" is every bit as stereotypicalas in previous versions, such contradictionscoexist with a furtherradicalizationof Stowe's text. In the World version-which is infinitely more mimetic in its visual ap- proach than the version but still far short of the sophisticated montage of Birth-instead of suggesting to Tom that he kill Legree, Cassy dangles a gun over a sleeping Legree and toys with the idea of shooting him herself.
She de- cides to rescue Emmeline by running away with her instead. In a sequence in- tercut with shots of Cassy and Emmeline's successful escape, the gun is picked up by an anonymous young male slave whom Tom refused to beat.

The final shot in this sequence is a close-up of the Uncle Tom's Cabin. In Birth, Griffith seems to have taken Lydia, the mulatto housekeeper of 8. Lydia is demonized and horrifically sexualized in both Universalfilm of Dixon's and Griffith's versions of her, as representative of the evils of misce- UTC.

Gus is a would-be rapistwho has developed a taste for white women, nurtured in him by the machinations of Silas Lynch, a mulatto male educated by the Stoneman family.
As I have alreadyindicated, much of the negativity of Dixon's and Griffith's portrayalof mulattoes stems from the political issues of the time. There was a widespread and perhaps accurate perception that the mulattoes-who made up the great majority of the educated and propertied blacks at the close of the Civil War-were the primary instigators of Reconstruction reforms; they sup- plied the ranks of teachers, doctors, lawyers, politicians, and leaders.
As such, they were seen by militant racists as troublemakers. The irrationalfear of mis- cegenation on the part of racist whites serves to further mystify the economic and political rationale for considering mulattoes anathema. According to the historian Joel Williamsoncontrary to Griffith's and Dixon's evident fears that blacks would want to reproduce with whites, from the close of the Civil War through the turn of the century the mulatto or biracial population did exactly the opposite by marrying almost exclusively among blacks.
Uncle Tom's Cabin - Wikipedia
In Within Our Gatesthe black director Oscar Micheaux takes up all these themes, including the rearticulation of the by then conventional black stereotypes. The mulatto protagonist and her light-skinned doctor lover em- body the virtues and dignity of educated blacks, as well as their commitment to the uplift and betterment of the masses.
In the process, Micheaux also pre- sents us with humane and dignified portrayalsof unlettered, rural blacks, and the manner in which they have been besieged by white vigilantism, igno- rance, corruption, and greed. Of course, Micheaux's film was also banned, even as Birthand Uncle Tom's Cabinwere banned, and continue to be banned I50 Michele Wallace and censored formally and informally. There are myriad other texts of this period, by both black and white au- thors, that explore black stereotypes, issues around black slavery and black re- construction, miscegenation, and mulattoes, such as the novels of Charles Chesnutt, Frances Harper, and Pauline Hopkins.
There is even less known about these works, especially in regard to their possible impact on films of the period. The texts I am exploring stand out from the rest as exceptional rather than characteristic and representative, but we can only approach a better un- derstanding of them when their initial context is restored and understood to the best of our abilities. As for the versions of Uncle Tom's Cabin in the Is, what I had not ex- pected was to find these films so engaging and entertaining, in need of resur- rection and circulation, and unjustly consigned to historical obscurity.
I was particularly taken with a comparison of the three films stemming from Uncle Tom's Cabin that were released in and The Univer- sal version of UTC is the straight one. It is incredibly lavish, mobilizing the full splendor of the Hollywood machine.
The plot is utterly transformed in a variety of ideologically revealing ways. For instance, Eliza ends up being sold to Legree, as well as Tom. The Union Army ultimately frees them both, bringing events forward to meet the Civil War. But what I want to draw at- tention to here is the fact that Topsy, for the first time in a series of 10 to 20 silent film adaptations of Uncle Tom's Cabin, is played by either a black girl or a girl so undetectably nonblack as to make a determination of racial identity uncertain-quite an advance in verisimilitude over previous and many subse- quent versions of Topsy.
The historical record does not take note of Topsy's sudden transformation in the '2os, but instead is preoccupied with a focus on whether or how Uncle Tom is played by a black male. In the Universal film, Uncle Tom is played by James Lowe, who was brought in at the last minute to substitute for a more surly Charles Gilpin.
Claire and Little Eva sequences. In scene after scene, her closeness and intimacy with Little Eva and Aunt Ophelia are extensively explored. The problem with recognizing the significance of the Topsy episodes has to do with their humor, which seem to trivialize her potential sadness as a character. Topsy "jes grew" because she never knew her parents, has been commanded to work all her life, and has never known tenderness. Stowe presents her as the classic slave child. In the book, Aunt Ophelia is completely successful at cleaning her up, educating her, and changing her life, but her transformation is rarely remarked in the various film versions.
The other two films of the late '2os, particularly when considered in rela- tion to the Universal film, are also noteworthy. First, both are riotous com- edies, some of the best and most sophisticated I've ever seen from the silent period.
Clearly what allows this irreverent, almost postmodern sophistication is the fact that by now the Uncle Tom's Cabin plot, and all its characters, are intimately known by American movie audiences. They have become a source of either humor and amusement or nostalgia, perhaps in part because of how the general population feels about blacks, but mostly because UTC is a text that had been rigorously and extensively reworked on the stage for 60 years by this time, at least in the North.
Now it has become a joke, almost a self-reflex- ive riddle, like Uncle Sam or Santa Claus. Uncle Tom's Gal looks at a country girl who dreams of being an actress and is visited by a movie crew shooting a version of Uncle Tom's Cabin. When the Uncle Tom's Cabin 9. The two titlecharacters, lea.
Universal;courtesyofthe Libraryof Congress lead actress suddenly quits, our girl gets to play both Topsy and Little Eva. We watch as the film crew sets up the key scenes, with a focus on the interac- tions of Topsy and Little Eva. The girl goes from being made up to play Little Eva to Topsy and back again to Little Eva, with a particular focus on Little Eva's death scene. It is absolutely hilarious and wonderful. Topsy and Eva is a wonderful film, particularlyfor the performances of the Duncan Sisters.
The plot takes bizarre comic liberties with Stowe's scenario and Topsy and Eva become all but lovers. Slavery and a staid and elegant Uncle Tom, played by Noble Johnson, remains in the background as Topsy and Eva become inseparable. Most of the film takes place after the war. The incorrigible tricksterTopsy becomes devoted to Eva and ends up rescuing her from disaster during a classic and hilarious chase scene that comprises the last 20 minutes of the film.
Claire family, en- courages her to climb in bed beside Little Eva so that she can get some much needed rest after her long adventure. Topsy is portrayed as heroic, adventurous, and an absolutely delightful trickster-figure who won the empathy of this audience member. I could scarcely believe my eyes. Since both Topsy and Little Eva are much-maligned stereotypes of black women and white women respectively, both characters, Topsy in particular, are rarely examined-but I suspect that she really should be.
Topsy emerges in all these films as the only really free figure in the planta- tion South, and she couldn't be further from what Donald Bogle describes as an asexual coon I The edi- tors of The StoweDebate: RhetoricalStrategiesin UTC write of these films: MargaretMitchell continued to insist in I that she had written Gonewith the Windin order to provide a more accurateand less negative portraitof the antebellum South than had UTC.
The film industry and black film audiences witnessed the birth of sound film and Al Jolson's appropriation of black music as a space of whiteness in American cinema. Black sound "race" films failed to succeed economically, including Micheaux's and Spencer Williams's films, as well as such noble en- deavors as King Vidor's HallelujahDudley Murphy's St.
At this point, Uncle Tom's Cabin truly begins to die as a serious text. In its place, Gone with the Wind I is substituted as the domi- nant cinematic rendering of slavery, the Civil War, and the plantation South. First, the preoccupation with the fate of black men, either be- fore or after the war, vanishes. Instead, the black characters-a classic Uncle Tom figure, a Mammy figure, and Prissy as a watered-down version of Topsy-become virtually an aspect of the mise-en-scene, part of the scenery, dispensing with the irksome bother of explaining the South's conflict with or the dependence on blacks.
The narrativetension shifts entirely to the portrayalof Scarlett, a problem- atically masculine, problematically dark figure who as the book by Margaret Mitchell makes much clearer than the film fails always to successfully restrain her racially suspect sexual passion, her working-class aggression, and her un- feminine economic greed and aggressiveness.
In a peculiarly US cultural sleight of hand, in place of being openly racialized, the problem of subjectivity invariablysettles upon the compromise figure of the white female or the dark, lo.

Photocourtesyof the Libraryof Congress Uncle Tom's Cabin I53 pseudo-working-class "outsider" male, Rhett Butler, who just so happens to always be surrounded by picturesque, humorous blacks. There are some wonderful and riotous cartoon takeoffs on Uncle Tom's Cabin through the Is and '5os, such as the hilarious Uncle Tom's Cabanain which Little Eva figures as a Gilda-type chanteuse in Uncle Tom's nightclub in downtown Manhattan.
In the adaptation of Uncle Tom's Cabin staged for Alistair Cooke's Omnibus television series ina solemn kind of retooling of the old classic begins to render it more useful to the Civil Rights movement and the liberal integra- tionist agenda. In this particularversion, a beautiful young Ruby Dee makes a fleeting appearance as Eliza, and Topsy is finally played by an actual little black girl of about ten, quite convincingly, although with none of the come- dic business of most prior Topsys.
What these more high- minded versions tend to do is to simply rid themselves of the mulatto narra- tive, by making all the people who would have been played by whites in early movies into visibly black people. No one can ever leave Uncle Tom's Cabin alone or let it be what it is, be- cause who even knows what it is. It also seemed to begin to probe some of the issues that film scholar and feminist Linda Williams raises in her I ar- ticle on "Versions of Uncle Tom" about the way in which UTC illustrates a pivotal, transitionalmoment in American cinema as well as American theatre.
UTC, she says, is responsible for providing American theatre and film with its first set of compelling reasons to move from the scattershot approaches of blackface minstrelsy, circus sideshow entertainments, coon songs, burlesque, and vaudeville to the performance and delineation of sustained linear narra- tives over a sequence of time, which has resulted in what we know today as American theatre and American feature film.
What is completely unknown is how indelibly these developments are intertwined with the parallel develop- ments and debates around issues of race.
See Sampson's The Ghost Walks for illustrations of the apparent lightness of many of the female performers; also see photos in Black Magic: Eva enters the narrative when Uncle Tom is traveling via steamship to New Orleans to be sold, and he rescues the five- or six-year-old girl from drowning. Eva begs her father to buy Tom, and he becomes the head coachman at the St. He spends most of his time with the angelic Eva.
Eva often talks about love and forgiveness, convincing the dour slave girl Topsy that she deserves love. She even touches the heart of her Aunt Ophelia. Eventually Eva falls terminally ill.
Before dying, she gives a lock of her hair to each of the slaves, telling them that they must become Christians so that they may see each other in Heaven. On her deathbed, she convinces her father to free Tom, but because of circumstances the promise never materializes.
A similar character, also named Little Eva, later appeared in the children's novel Little Eva: The Flower of the South by Philip J.

Cozans—although this ironically was an anti-Tom novel. He is arguably the novel's main antagonist. His goal is to demoralize Tom and break him of his religious faith; he eventually orders Tom whipped to death out of frustration for his slave's unbreakable belief in God. The novel reveals that, as a young man, he had abandoned his sickly mother for a life at sea and ignored her letter to see her one last time at her deathbed.
He sexually exploits Cassy, who despises him, and later sets his designs on Emmeline. It is unclear if Legree is based on any actual individuals.
Reports surfaced after the s that Stowe had in mind a wealthy cotton and sugar plantation owner named Meredith Calhounwho settled on the Red River north of Alexandria, Louisiana. Generally, however, the personal characteristics of Calhoun "highly educated and refined" do not match the uncouthness and brutality of Legree. Calhoun even edited his own newspaper, published in Colfax originally "Calhoun's Landing"which was renamed The National Democrat after Calhoun's death.
However, Calhoun's overseers may have been in line with the hated Legree's methods and motivations. Arthur Shelby — Tom's master in Kentucky. Shelby is characterized as a "kind" slaveowner and a stereotypical Southern gentleman. Emily Shelby — Arthur Shelby's wife. She is a deeply religious woman who strives to be a kind and moral influence upon her slaves and is appalled when her husband sells his slaves with a slave trader.
As a woman, she has no legal way to stop this, as all property belongs to her husband. Chloe — Tom's wife and mother of his children.
Clare — Tom's third owner and father of Eva. Clare is complex, often sarcastic, with a ready wit. After a rocky courtship he marries a woman he grows to hold in contempt, though he is too polite to let it show. Clare recognizes the evil in chattel slavery but is not willing to relinquish the wealth it brings him. After his daughter's death he becomes more sincere in his religious thoughts and starts to read the Bible to Tom.
He plans on finally taking action against slavery by freeing his slaves, but his good intentions ultimately come to nothing. Clare — Wife of Augustine, she is a self-absorbed woman without a hint of compassion for those around her, including her own family.
Given to an unending list of apparently imaginary physical maladies, she continually complains about the lack of sympathy she is receiving. She has separated her personal maid, Mammy, from her own two children because they would interfere with her duties.
As Marie drives Mammy to exhaustion, she criticizes her for selfishly seeking to attend her own family. Upon the unexpected death of Augustine, Marie countermands the legal process that would have given Tom his freedom.
George Harris — Eliza's husband. An intelligent and clever half-white slave who is fiercely loyal to his family. When asked if she knows who made her, she professes ignorance of both God and a mother, saying "I s'pect I growed. Don't think nobody never made me. During the early-to-mid 20th century, several doll manufacturers created Topsy and Topsy-type dolls. The phrase "growed like Topsy" later "grew like Topsy" passed into the English language, originally with the specific meaning of unplanned growth, later sometimes just meaning enormous growth.
Clare's pious, hard-working, abolitionist cousin from Vermont. She displays the ambiguities towards African-Americans felt by many Northerners at the time. She argues against the institution of slavery yet, at least initially, feels repulsed by the slaves as individuals.
Don't blame Uncle Tom
Prue — A depressed slave who was forced to let her child starve to death. She takes up drinking in her misery, and is ultimately beaten and killed for it. Quimbo and Sambo — slaves of Simon Legree who act as overseers of the plantation. On orders from Legree, they savagely whip Tom but afterward tearfully repent of their deeds to Tom, who forgives them as he lies dying.
Major themes "The fugitives are safe in a free land. Smyth after they escape to freedom. Uncle Tom's Cabin is dominated by a single theme: Stowe sometimes changed the story's voice so she could give a " homily " on the destructive nature of slavery [33] such as when a white woman on the steamboat carrying Tom further south states, "The most dreadful part of slavery, to my mind, is its outrages of feelings and affections—the separating of families, for example. Stowe made it somewhat subtle and in some cases she weaved it into events that would also support the dominant theme.
One example of this is when Augustine St. Clare is killed, he attempted to stop a brawl between two inebriated men in a cafe and was stabbed. One other example is the death of the slave woman Prue who was whipped to death for being drunk on a consistent basis; however, her reasons for doing so is due to the loss of her baby.
In the opening of the novel, the fates of Eliza and her son are being discussed between slave owners over wine. Considering that Stowe intended this to be a subtheme, this scene could foreshadow future events that put alcohol in a bad light.
Because Stowe saw motherhood as the "ethical and structural model for all of American life" [36] and also believed that only women had the moral authority to save [37] the United States from the demon of slavery, another major theme of Uncle Tom's Cabin is the moral power and sanctity of women.
Through characters like Eliza, who escapes from slavery to save her young son and eventually reunites her entire familyor Eva, who is seen as the "ideal Christian", [38] Stowe shows how she believed women could save those around them from even the worst injustices.

Clare to "look away to Jesus" after the death of St. Clare's beloved daughter Eva. These genres were the most popular novels of Stowe's time and tended to feature female main characters and a writing style which evoked a reader's sympathy and emotion. Georgiana May, a friend of Stowe's, wrote a letter to the author, saying: I could not leave it any more than I could have left a dying child. Whicher called Uncle Tom's Cabin " Sunday-school fiction", full of "broadly conceived melodrama, humor, and pathos.
The Cultural Work of American Fiction. She also said that the popular domestic novels of the 19th century, including Uncle Tom's Cabin, were remarkable for their "intellectual complexity, ambition, and resourcefulness"; and that Uncle Tom's Cabin offers a "critique of American society far more devastating than any delivered by better-known critics such as Hawthorne and Melville.
Writing inlegal scholar Richard Posner described Uncle Tom's Cabin as part of the mediocre list of canonical works that emerges when political criteria are imposed on literature. As a best-seller, the novel heavily influenced later protest literature. Contemporary and world reaction Stowe responded to criticism by writing A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabindocumenting the veracity of her novel's depiction of slavery.
Uncle Tom's Cabin outraged people in the American South. Acclaimed Southern novelist William Gilmore Simms declared the work utterly false, [55] while others called the novel criminal and slanderous.
For instance, she had never been to a Southern plantation. However, Stowe always said she based the characters of her book on stories she was told by runaway slaves in Cincinnati. It is reported that "She observed firsthand several incidents which galvanized her to write [the] famous anti-slavery novel. Scenes she observed on the Ohio River, including seeing a husband and wife being sold apart, as well as newspaper and magazine accounts and interviews, contributed material to the emerging plot.
In the book, Stowe discusses each of the major characters in Uncle Tom's Cabin and cites "real life equivalents" to them while also mounting a more "aggressive attack on slavery in the South than the novel itself had. However, while Stowe claimed A Key to Uncle Tom's Cabin documented her previously consulted sources, she actually read many of the cited works only after the publication of her novel.
Thus, Stowe put more than slavery on trial; she put the law on trial. This continued an important theme of Uncle Tom's Cabin—that the shadow of law brooded over the institution of slavery and allowed owners to mistreat slaves and then avoid punishment for their mistreatment.
In some cases, as Stowe pointed out, it even prevented kind owners from freeing their slaves. According to Stowe's son, when Abraham Lincoln met her in Lincoln commented, "So this is the little lady who started this great war. The scene—a runaway black slave and child attacked by dogs—was inspired by Uncle Tom's Cabin. Uncle Tom's Cabin also created great interest in the United Kingdom.

Tom Holland's dad joins Save Spider-Man protests as star remains silent on hero being axed from Marvel
TOM Holland's dad has joined in on the Save Spider-Man protests as the star continues to remain silent.
Dominic Holland shared the hashtag on social media, including a link to his blog where he commented on the whole debacle following the announcement that Sony had removed the hero from the Marvel franchise.
He explained: "I know nothing about the impasse between Sony and Marvel. I have no inside track on such issues.
"But whatever is decided by the big suits at these big Hollywood studios – my hunch is that the show will continue.
"Too much at stake and too many dollars riding on it – and besides, everyone wants the same thing; namely, Spider-Man on large screens keeping people safe and entertained. And with Tom in the suit, for the time-being at least."
His comments come following Deadline's reports that, amid a stand-off between Disney and Spider-Man producers Sony Pictures, Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige is not going to make any more Spider-Man films.
That means there is now set to be a split between Spidey and the ultra-successful superhero movie franchise.
And fans wasted little time calling for a boycott of the hit movies - while others went further still and said that 23-year-old actor Tom should refuse to play the character.
One tweeted: "Tom Holland should boycott and drop out of Spider-Man 3 to force Sony to work with Marvel. Spider-Man 3 would TANK without Holland & the MCU behind it."
Another said: "The best way to show our response to Sony after cutting ties with Marvel is to boycott Sony's biggest upcoming blockbusters. Let them Know we want Spider-Man where he belongs!"
A third fumed: "I suggest we boycott the next Spider-Man film so Sony gets the point that Spidey made money off the backs of MCU movies and without that they won't make as much."
Another fan added: "I'm absolutely broken about Sony trying to remove #SpiderMan from the MCU after how close he was with Tony Stark. A real d*** move on their part."
They added the hashtags: "#BoycottSony #BoycottSonySpiderMan."
Even Avengers star Jeremy Renner got involved, demanding Spider-Man return to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Sony finally spoke out about Disney's decision yesterday.
They said in a statement: "Much of today's news about Spider-Man has mischaracterized recent discussions about Kevin Feige's involvement in the franchise.
"We are disappointed, but respect Disney's decision not to have him continue as a lead producer of our next live action Spider-Man film."
"We hope this might change in the future, but understand that the many new responsibilities that Disney has given him – including all their newly added Marvel properties – do not allow time for him to work on IP they do not own.
"Kevin is terrific and we are grateful for his help and guidance and appreciate the path he has helped put us on, which we will continue."

The stand-off between the studios reportedly stems from a reworking of the deal that would have seen Disney getting a 50-50 stake in the upcoming Spider-Man movies.
Feige's previous last two movies broke two records, with Disney's Avengers: Endgame the highest grossing film of all time and Spider-Man: Far From Home the highest-grossing film for Sony Pictures.
Brit actor Holland has previously confirmed that he is due to play the hero in a third move for the franchise after Homecoming and Far From Home.

Amanda, a mother-of-two and best-selling author, said: "Encouraging children to have a regular water intake throughout the school day is a vital aspect to maintain good health and a healthy learning environment.
"It has been proven that through drinking water and staying hydrated children are more attentive and focused during lessons for longer periods of time.
"We are lucky to have safe and delicious water from the tap, we should all be making the most of it.
"Like many families, in my home we do all we can do reduce the use of plastic. We've made it part of the daily routine to re-fill water bottles from the tap.
"By highlighting the benefits of a reusable water bottle and filling up from the tap, we are helping to instil in children the small daily habits that can make a big difference.
"The reality is that this is message for all ages – so using a reusable water bottle is just as applicable for people returning to work or students going back after the summer."
Although education authorities actively promote the need for parents to provide children with a reusable water bottle, Scottish Water has targeted the return of schools in South Ayrshire as a prime time to deliver its reminder message.
Brian Lironi, Director of Corporate Affairs at Scottish Water, said: "We want to encourage everyone to choose our nation's greatest natural asset, which is our fresh and tasty water – straight from the tap.
"At Scottish Water we believe every child needs to be aware of the benefits of a reusable water bottle – and of just how easy it is to use one to top up with tap water.
"We believe that if everyone joins in, the positive impact on Scotland and the world will be incredible. Every little thing makes a difference."

Kevin Spacey couldn't make it residence from his alleged sexual assault listening to Monday with out catching extra warmth from the regulation — he received pulled over in Washington, D.C.
Spacey was behind the wheel after leaving Reagan National Airport when cops lit him up for rushing. In the video, you see officers speaking to him — the entire license and registration routine. BTW, the man using shotgun with him is his legal professional.
The photog asks officers in the event that they gave Spacey a ticket, however the police had been mum. Instead, they chastise the man for pulling over on the street to report the second on digicam.
Law enforcement sources inform us Spacey received off with no ticket. The officer let him go along with a verbal warning.
Considering his larger authorized woes in the meanwhile, we're guessing he was grateful to be let off simple. We're guessing Spacey had simply landed on the airport after flying in from Massachusetts, the place he appeared in court docket this morning.

Not enough cheesecake filling for my or my husband's taste, didn't really taste like cheesecake at all actually. I didn't have mini-chocolate chips, just regular, so maybe it was too chocolatey and that overpowered everything else? Anyway, nothing special really. Either way, I'd probably never make these again and would rather just put the extra effort into an authentic cheesecake that bakes in the oven and has 3 times the cream cheese.
Oct 25, 2013
I've made this recipe, and we love it. I've also tried these variations (separately, of course) in the cream cheese filling: a teaspoon of mint extract, a teaspoon of raspberry flavoring, and a teaspoon of orange extract. They all go well with the chocolate.
Mar 1, 2012
this was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Feb 16, 2011
Very easy to make! However, my family thought it was too "cream cheesey" so next time I think I'll double the sugar on the filling!

Yesterday, our Sunday family day consisted of harvesting our potatoes. The plants were ambushed by beetles once the babe made his appearance (and the healing and care of him trumped all garden goods), but the harvest was decent regardless.
I still get a real kick out of the multi-species crew that turns up every time we work near the house : the head cat, our beloved Harvey, two of the three hens, and the humans.
Maybe not my weight in potatoes, but certainly 3/4 of it. It'll probably see us through to next year's harvest.
By the time we got to the potatoes last year, the ground was good and frozen and snow covered (see below). We're three weeks earlier this time around, which is making the adult folk feel pretty good about where we're at in our winter readiness.
I've been hard on the garden and myself as gardener this year, but really, doing the tally of what we've managed to eat fresh and stock pile and preserve, I have to admit that the planning, planting and early weeding efforts certainly weren't in vain.
We have all the potatoes, the carrots and the beets, we'll need. The pumpkin, probably all the blanched spinach, kale, chard and beans, and certainly all of the apple sauce. Thanks to all the kind souls who helped make this happen.
Having worked in the field of anti-poverty/poverty alleviation in urban settings, there's something really surprising, and really rich, about living below the poverty line on a farm (especially when you're doing so with someone who totally knows the ropes, and when you have access to capital and are able to become indebted to set this place up to provide for ourselves with more ease in the years to come). It isn't easy by any stretch (and the romanticization of farming irks me to no end), but this is certainly more comfortable than living below the poverty line in a city.
With our dear family dairy cow Ursula having just calved, we are back into fresh cheese and yoghurt making. (Y'a un p'tit air de famille, n'est-ce pas?) The calf drinks to her heart's content, and we still have enough milk to start making butter to boot.
What feels like the biggest hurdle at this point, farm food wise, after building a small greenhouse and cracking the brassica code next season, is eggs : getting a few more laying hens, but especially kitten-proofing the coop. As I was angrily trying to jam every hole in the coop last night (the hens themselves get quite upset when these little rascals sneak in and crack eggs), every place I looked, there seemed to be a small kitten.
And now to focus on bringing in the fire wood, putting the garden to rest and getting the word out about the incubator farm we're launching for next season. If you know anyone who might be interested, please spread the word. We are eager to have more people living and making an income on the land. Open house this Sunday (November 1st, two to five).

A great way to be able to a dentist is request other people that you know and trust. Ask your family, colleagues or friends. Often they will have good instructions. In addition to asking what dentist they recommend, ask about other qualitative factors. Discover if the dentist is friendly, has a nice waiting room and has a great staff.
What if you are new to an areas?
If you are new to an area, you can not know anyone who can suggest a great dentist. Grow do you do in this particular scenario? Ask credible you also must be are in a position to know who perfect dentists are. Often hospitals and other health facilities employ the services of ones number of dentists. So that are in a great position to know who the best dentists may be. All you need to do is call them up and get for a recommendation.
You can also ask a local dental class. Dental schools are in a great position to know who the best dentists come in the area. In addition, dental schools may even offer lower rates when compared with regular dentist for dental treatment. Sure, you will have students performing your dental care, but they will be supervised by extremely experience dentists who know the thing they are doing.
Use the Internet
Now days, everything is on the web. Seek a website that lists dentists in your area along with patient reviews. Look for a dentist that is convenient for you and also look at their critical reviews. Make sure that their patients possess a lot of good in order to say about them. And when a dentist has large numbers of negative reviews, look elsewhere.
Also visit the dentist's website. It's totally learn a lot by checking out their website. Does the dentist offer all of the dental services required to meet their purposes? You can also get a sense for the dentist's personality by during they have designed their site exactly what they talk about on their estore. And if the dentist has posted a video, then you are really in luck. You will get a good experience of their personality likewise.
Special Dental Needs
When deciding on a dentist, it's also advisable to consider your personal dental goals. If you have healthy teeth, purchasing a dentist now is easier as all dentists would be able to do fundamentals like cleanings and taking x-rays. You won't be you have crooked teeth you want a dentist that is an expert in orthodontics. Or if you want your teeth in order to better you might want a dentist specialists cosmetic dentistry and so forth.
Check Your Dental Plan
Another great way to choose a dentist would be look in the dentists have got pre-approved by your dental agenda. In this case, also it already know that they encourage your dental insurance plan. But you end up being sure to ask a regarding questions to substantiate that may possibly the right dentist for you.
Call the Dentist
Once possess narrowed down your connected with potential dentists, call these animals. See how you are treated on the phone. Confirm these people take your insurance. Find out: the way to get for the office, what their business hours are and that they handle dental emergencies are actually outside of those business several.
Take an assessment Drive
Some dentists will cost-free consultations or even free cleanings to prospective patients. Take them up their very own offer. Also it get free service and also a to be able to chat with them so you simply can see if you get a long.
Don't Get Taken for that Ride
Some unscrupulous dentists will ever try to sell you services or treatments that you do not need. In this situation, with regard to your gut instinct receive a second opinion from another dentist if a person unsure that any treatment method is not best for you.
Also, some bad dentists will post fake reviews on review websites. So always consider the reviews which you see on these sites with a grain of salt. Make sure that voice align in conjunction with your experience the brand new dentist and look elsewhere when they do not.
Remember to lower the number to regarding the first dentist you simply find. For those who are not pleased them in anyway, keep on looking. Eventually you rapidly realize the right dentist for and your smile.

Apple's highly anticipated iOS 8 is finally ready for download. This time around, Apple has done a lot of catching up with Android. One such attempt is support for third-party keyboards. Now, this doesn't mean Apple's stock keyboard is bad. In fact, it has seen a huge leap in improvements. However, for those looking beyond the Quick Type virtual keyboard for iOS 8, there are five must-try keyboard alternatives.
The popular Swype keyboard is launching its iOS 8 version allowing iDevice users to finally slide through the keyboard. Using swipe input method, users need to drag their finger from one letter to another and the software predicts the word you are trying to type. Now, this isn't a sloppy predictive method, but rather quick and efficient. The software also learns your typing habbit and knows what exactly you are trying to say. From auto-correction to next word prediction, the keyboard brings a slew of interesting features.
Price: The Swype app is now available for download on the Apple App store for $0.99.
This is yet another popular keyboard option that is all set to woo iOS 8 users. Following the same input mechanism as Swype, Swiftkey is known for its superior predictive software. SwiftKey learns quickly, and one will not have to spend a lot of time teaching the software you favourite swear words either. It lets you type in different languages at once (limited list of supported languages) without the need to change any settings. The SwiftKey Keyboard is now available for download from the Apple App store for free.
This is a great option if you are really sloppy at typing. It is said to be the fastest keyboard that comes with powerful predictive software that can convert hastily keyed in letters into legible words. It lets you completely customise the typing experience with themes and keyboard styles. users can swipe left anywhere for fast word-by-word deletee or even swipe down anywhere to change the word. Fleksy's gestures aim at maximising typing speed and comfort. The gesture system also allows you to minimise the keyboard or even make it invisible and see 100 per cent of your screen.
Price: $0.99 to download it from Apple App store.
Replying to posts using GIFs is turning into a trend, sort of. PopKey is a great way to text a reaction without the need to search/download an image that matches your exact reaction. The PopKey now brings a list of new GIFs, thousands of them, including the common ones like OMG, LOL and so on. You can also upload your favourite GIF to further personalise the keyboard experience. Though the app will be available for iOS 8, it isn't available for download at the time of writing this article. n

Snack Trap, Snack Trap, Snack Trap, Snack Trap...
The above sung to the tune of Dora the Explorer's "Backpack" is a favorite song in my house. Now, I thought just about everyone knew about the Snack Trap. But I still get a lot of questions about it when my daughter uses it out in public soooo...
The Snack Trap is a two handled plastic cup with a soft rubber cover that is cut so little hands can go in but the snack stays in the cup. We use this for Cheerios, crackers, banana chips, Goldfish, etc. I keep one packed and ready in the diaper bag. It's great!
Bonny T.
Snack Traps are great we purchased one and absolutely love it... ALSO we got one for FREE at Stride Rite when purchasing a pair of shoes for our lil one... case anyones interested..not sure if they still give it away but worth the shot! good luck.
Maria G.
Snack Traps are GREAT!!!! Not sure if you know this, but they sell the lids separately.
Elizabeth M.
We have a few of these and they are GREAT! The only thing I wish is that they offered a completely closed lid for them, so that the goldfish aren't in there all day and go stale!
Raj A.
We love our Snack Traps!! It's a life saver on airplane rides, shopping excursions etc. :)
