Throughout The Made, Alice is the target of criticism from just about everyone. Bruce is superb from scene one, portraying Alice’s arc over the course of the show with humour and emotion. Yet Perkins has a keen awareness of pace and establishes character and relationships swiftly and effectively, as does the cast. I missed her presence in the latter half of the play and almost wished we could have seen more of her journey and relationship with creator Alice, who loves her while recognising she’s an “appliance”. Tasker-Poland, who doubles as the show’s movement director, is hypnotically convincing as Arie, emphasising her halting gestures and speech while investing her with sweetness and (albeit unwitting) sass. She tells assistant John (Joe Dekkers-Reihana) that it is their responsibility to treat her well because how they treat her is who they are. There is the central question: how to fill her with more than simply happiness, and should we? In Arie’s naive state, Alice is reluctant to present her to a public that would only use and abuse her. We are told that she cannot feel love because for that she would need to understand the world. A former sexbot Alice reworked in her zeal to create empathetic AI, Arie can so far only ‘feel’ happy. This is hapless Arie (Hannah Tasker-Poland), manipulated by the company that had just purchased the rights to her. But while Alice and Nanny Ann are the initial focus, our attention is pulled to Alice’s first creation in the background. Colin McColl’s direction and Eden Mulholland’s inventive sound design alongside Rachel Marlowe and Brad Gledhill’s bold lighting make this play out like a mad scientist’s fever dream. That is, until she springs up off of her lap, eyes alight with the realisation - “You are not my mother, you are my creature!”Ĭue a thrilling, loud and visually spectacular sequence in which Alice resurrects Nanny Ann and goes beyond anything she’s done with AI before. For a moment, Alice finds reassurance in Nanny Ann (Brownyn Bradley), the outdated robot she made to look after Sam while they were growing up. Scientist Alice (Alison Bruce)’s personal and professional life are on the rocks: her work on artificial intelligence has been rejected for funding, her ex-husband David (Peter Daube) shows no signs of wanting to reconcile and her adult child Sam (Murdoch Keane) has dropped out of university to pursue drug dealing – all in the wake of the death of her difficult mother. The ‘creation scene’ in Emily Perkins’s The Made happens not at the beginning but roughly the halfway point. It may be one of the strongest images in our collective pop culture consciousness: Frankenstein’s monster rising from the operating table – the product of a young man playing god now set to wreak havoc on the world.

But if a cat seems standoffish and tense, check to see if something nearby or something you’re doing is causing them fear or alarm. In that context, you don’t need to worry. Remember, however, context is important.įor example, a cat sitting on your lap may curl their tail around themselves for warmth or because it’s just a comfortable thing to do. This is especially true when this tail position is accompanied with wide eyes, dilated pupils and flattened ears. Tucked-away tail: When a cat tucks their tail under their body or wraps it around themselves, this can be a sign of uncertainty that may indicate feelings of fear and submission. Be sure to reciprocate with a friendly scratch and some words of praise. Tail wrapping: Have you ever seen a cat wrap their tail around another cat or maybe even a person? If you interpreted that as a sign of friendship and affection, you’re correct. Furthermore, a tail that points up accompanied with a quiver at the base of the tail is often an indication your cat is especially excited to see you or to be getting a tasty bowl of cat food. This tail position indicates all is right in the world-or at least it is from the cat’s perspective. Pointing straight up: If a cat walks into the room, tail sticking straight up, they’re feeling confident, comfortable and ready to engage in some friendly interaction. That’s because the question mark-shaped tail position is a cat’s way of asking you, “would you like to play?” Cats may also move the tip of their tails back and forth with the question mark changing orientations, which is an even more intense play signal. Question mark: When a cat bends its tail in the shape of a question mark, this is good news, especially if you have a few minutes to spare and some cat toys at the ready. That way, you’ll have a better idea when your cat feels playful, agitated, confident, worried or any other mood that will cause them to send out signals with their tails. Let’s look at some common cat tail movements and positions and explore what they mean. While cats will continue to stump their owners, answering this question can help you understand your cat and build a stronger bond between you. So, what does it mean when a cat wags their tail or, perhaps more accurately, swishes it back and forth? Cat Tail CommunicationĪlong with purring, meowing, direct eye contact or an arched back, cat tail movement can often indicate how a cat is feeling, their mood, and their intentions. Despite their occasionally confusing behavior, cats, like most poker players, often have a tell: their tails. While cats can be great at communicating when they want to, there are plenty of times that cats leave their owners completely stumped. If she doesn’t fit any of these situations, she should go to your veterinarian (videotape the behavior) and have a neurologic exam.As any cat owner can tell you, cats can be mysterious and mercurial companions. Avoid situations where she looks like this.įinally, your kitty could have a neurologic problem. Try to identify when this is happening and distract your kitty with play when she looks like this. If your cat’s tail is twitching in neither of those situations and the fur is sticking up (piloerection), your kitty is neurochemically aroused and is very stressed. If this is what you are seeing, your kitty is happy. Keep in mind that cats put their tail up and flip the end down (inverted U tail) when they are happy and want interaction. Enriching the environment is almost always helpful when treating cats with behavioral disorders. Phantom spraying may progress to actual urine marking so it would be important to identify any possible stressors in her environment and remove those. She is anxious or might be territorial and is expressing that. If this is what your cat is doing, she is phantom spraying. The cat backs up to vertical surfaces and kneads her hind feet, twitches her tail and then after a couple of seconds walks away. Phantom spraying looks like true urine spraying (urine marking), but no urine comes out. I’m curious why this happens.Īnswer: Your kitty may be phantom spraying. At times during the day, her tail will shake uncontrollably as it stands straight up. Question: My cat, an American shorthair-blue, is about 1 year old and her tail is always pointing straight up. However, as he has only acted in this way explicitly in just one out of his many appearances and that too with only one person, it's questionable if that determines that Scam genuinely can care for others' feelings or if the understanding he showed Sam was just restricted to her for her feelings for him as he never passed up any other opportunity after that to ridicule anyone when given the chance even Sam just not about the feelings she had for him. He also never once came back and nagged her about her crush in a later episode. Instead he chooses to say nothing about the matter and lets her get her confession out of her system without commenting on it at all. After Samantha reveals her crush on him, despite having her trapped and having the clear opportunity to laugh at her over her feelings for him (her enemy) especially now that his plan is close to reaching fruition, he doesn't humiliate her. as a "metallic piece of trash" in the same episode upon their first meeting.īut in spite of mostly acting in a inconsiderate manner, Scam has shown some regard for other people's feelings most notably in the episode " The New Jerry". Personality wise, Scam comes across as witty, cocky, and a little rude as he often teases the spies with sarcastic comments just to get them riled up, as seen in " Morphing Is Sooo 1987". In "Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace" Finis Valorum is voted out in part because of the unfounded rumors that have damaged his credibility. After being fired, Scam could easily have gotten revenge by creating his own corporation and spreading rumors of Jerry's behavior but perhaps by then he was too angry and upset to formulate any rational plan for a comeback. When Scam discovered this theft and complained to Jerry, the co-worker counterattacked with a verbal accusation that exploited Jerry's flawed judgement and exploited Scam's need to hold a vendetta. A co-worker could have stolen the credit for an invention from Scam. In ” The Fugitives” and ” Return of Geraldine” Jerry is proven guilty of having such misunderstandings when it comes to his agents as he passes immediate preliminary judgement when the spies are accused of a crime instead of reasoning through facts and thinking of other options. In the German dub of the same episode (“Der Neue Jerry“), he says that his “work was not properly acknowledged by the organization” indicating instead that there may have been some misunderstanding or mix-up that led to him being fired instead of sheer wrongdoing on his part. While his file indicates that he was fired for illegal use of WOOHP technology, Scam tells Sam, Clover, and Alex quote, “WOOHP never appreciated me for the genius that I am,” revealing some bitterness towards the agency and Jerry Lewis for how he was treated during his career working with them. In his introductory episode, Scam reveals his reason for turning on WOOHP. brainwashing, transforming people, and/or taking them as a consort to sit beside them in power), Tim goes straight for the kill, literally. Also, unlike the other villains, whose plans generally involve indulging in their twisted obsessions (e.g. Unlike the majority of the show's other villains, who typically plan crimes around a single "theme" based on an event from their past Scam comes across as completely sane (albeit sociopathic). He originally developed the Evapoblaster, a heat ray capable of evaporating the Earth's oceans, while working for WOOHP. Tim reappeared in Season 4 and became a member of the LAMOS (League Aiming to Menace and Overthrow Spies), headed by Terrence Lewis. In " Morphing Is Sooo 1987" Tim attempted to destroy WOOHP using liquid metal Scamlar robots capable of mimicking the appearance of others by copying a person's DNA simply after touching them. In " Mommies Dearest" he attempted to get revenge on the girls by brainwashing their mothers into nearly killing their daughters. It can also be noted that in the Spanish version of the same episode, during the scene where Sam discovers Scam's true identity and he stuns her with the Immobilizing Stun Tan Lotion while she's running away, he says, "Por que tienes tanta prisa, linda?" which in English means "Why are you in such a hurry, beautiful?" This could just be because Spanish is a very romantic language to begin with, but to have Scam come right out and call Samantha "beautiful" when he's never said anything of the sort to any of the other spies provides some key evidence that Scam has a romantic interest in her as well. Samantha also developed a strong crush on him before she discovered he was her enemy. He was introduced in " The New Jerry", in which he kidnapped Jerry Lewis and replaced him to use WOOHP for his scheme. He seeks to get revenge on the organization as a result. Tim Scam is a former WOOHP employee who was fired for illegal use of weaponry. I wouldn't look twice at whatever else it is you develop.

First, you select a picture that you want to change. The operation of the program is divided into six easy-to-follow steps. It offers about the same level of complexity as the basic editing programs supplied with digital cameras, such as ArcSoft PhotoSuite, sacrificing versatility for clarity and ease of use. Naturally for that kind of money you can’t expect professional quality results, and the effects produced by FaceFilter are more useful for their novelty value than for any serious use. The program has a recommended retail price of £29.99, but is available on Amazon for around £25. For the home user who has neither the time nor the money to spend on such programs, Reallusion FaceFilter Studio 2.0 offers a much cheaper and quicker way to edit portrait photographs, providing a simple step-by-step method for adjusting colour, brightness, skin tone and even facial expressions, using face detection and some simple image morphing routines. Photoshop CS2 costs well over £500, and even the latest version of the popular Corel Paint Shop Pro costs over £50. Programs like Adobe Photoshop are very complex, and it requires a lot of study and practice to become proficient in their use. Indeed there have been several controversial cases of news photographs that have been altered to make a political point or to cast a celebrity in a more flattering – or unflattering – light. Almost every photograph you will see in any popular magazine or advertising poster will have been re-touched in some way. Of course at the other end of the scale you have full-scale digital image editing suites, most famously Adobe Photoshop, used all over the world by professional photographers and designers to alter and even create from scratch amazing digital artwork. Most digital cameras come with some sort of simple editing software, capable of adjusting colour, brightness and image size, and even making basic alterations to a photograph, such as correcting flash red-eye. With the ever-increasing popularity of digital photography and the near-universal ownership of powerful personal computers, it’s no surprise that a lot of people will at some point try their hand at digital image editing, even if it’s only cropping and re-sizing an image. |
