Toon v Plymouth – match reaction and whatnot.
Posted on September 21st, 2009 | 5 Comments |
It's just Colgate, honest
By all accounts, including our own, the 3-1 win over Plymouth was a bit of a struggle for Newcastle. This is what Hughton had to say after the game:
"There were periods of the game where we made hard work of it.
"For whatever reason, we weren't able to sustain it and of course the longer the game goes without getting that second one, Plymouth are lifted by the occasion and feel they can get something."
The substitutions made all the difference though, about which Hughton said:
"I think it's fair to say Danny and Nile have changed the game.
"When you make changes you hope they make an impact, sometimes they do and sometimes they don't.
"Thankfully, they did make a major impact.
"We needed that Kevin Nolan goal and it encouraged the lads."
Hughton also sang the praises of Andy Carroll, saying:
"What delighted me more than anything is this is a lad who's been out for a period of weeks and it was touch and go whether I started him," said the caretaker manager.
"We are still looking to strengthen in that area, but Andy Carroll certainly solves some problems for us. He has got stronger and better."
One of the players Hughton was hoping to get to strengthen in that area is Marlon Harewood, although the News of the World claims we now face competition for him from Sven Goran Eriksson, the current Godfather at Notts County. The NotW suggests that Harewood would be prepared to drop all the way down to League Two to join the Middle East-funded moneybags outfit, although I have my doubts. Nevertheless, let's just make sure of it and get him signed as soon as possible; we've already missed out on Kamara and Vaughan, which were two of Hughton's other options.
Danny Simpson limped off during Saturday's game but Hughton doesn't think it's too serious:
"He just jarred his ankle and it's one of those ones we will see how he is in the morning.
"But the fact he came off early enough, hopefully might have stopped any further damage.
"But we will assess that one in the morning and see how he is."
Steven Taylor explained his 'X-Factor' celebration following his goal on Saturday:
"I have been getting a lot of stick because they think I've have got the Simon Cowell white teeth. All I use is Colgate!
"But it's just because they drink a lot of coffee and they have got yellow and brown teeth – that's why you never see them smile on the touchline.
"They wanted me to do the celebration, so I did it. It keeps them happy anyway – but I still didn't get a smile from them."
So there you have it. I'd just like to say well done to fellow author Bowburn Mag for completing the Great North Run in 2hrs 14mins with a gammy knee – he just needs a couple of new feet now!
Toon's 'Boxing Day Jinx' continues!

Stuart79 says:
I won't talk about the bigger long term picture as I get castergated for doing it.
So a win is a win.
There is one question I have – Why does Hghton continue to play one up front? Plymouth looked the team at the top until we went 4-4-2.
Micky Toon says:
I wonder if that bloke in the Aviva ads was there. ;-)
Anyway a wins a win, but the baggies have well and truly shown their intent with that slaughtering of the 'boro.
I'm still sticking with us, baggies and boro to be the top three at the end of the season. I just don't know what order, at the moment. :-)
Hugh, you made the whole site italic for almost three hours. Check yer stuff when you've finished it! :-)
Worky, sorry mate. Can't say I noticed, although I've been around the site a bit since. I must be incredibly unobservant!
Bowburn,
A belated well done on the run, and well done for exceeding your target as well. Hope you aren't aching too much today!


Probably one of the better pieces of the Mage PvP set (along with, I would argue, the robes and boots). High stamina, crit% and +dmg, and obviously the two-piece +20 Stamina set bonus is icing on the cake.

It was an honor to capture and document Amanda & Kyle's Wedding day at The Barn at All Occasions Catering! The wedding colors were just perfect for this late October wedding! Her bouquet was a mixture of beautiful fall florals intertwined with pretty greenery! From the moment I walked into The Barn, I couldn't stop staring at the beautiful chandeliers and drapery! It definitely has a lovely touch of elegance to it!
The day started off with a touching indoor ceremony and a groom that had a touching reaction to seeing his bride for the first time! I absolutely LOVED her dress! It had beautiful and delicate lace sleeves and lovely detailing on her veil! It was easy to see just how happy they are together! The way Kyle looks at Amanda is really special and makes you feel the love between them! After the ceremony, it was time for the party to begin! The reception was full of donuts and dancing fun!
Amanda and Kyle, it was an honor to be a part of your day! I am so happy for the two of you and wishing you many blessings!! Enjoy a few of my favorite moments from your day!

Sunday Morning Saints Wrap
January 17, 2010 by Scott Walker
The view from my seat.
Tim Hightower broke free for 70 yards on the game's first play. He ran five times for 17 yards the rest of the way.
Almost immediately after the lightning-fast 7-0 deficit made the 70,149 in the Dome groan in disbelief and the press box media shift a bit in their seats, the Saints dismantled the Cardinals in every way possible.
The New Orleans offense owned a 36:27-23:33 time of possession advantage and converted 7 of 13 third downs. Reggie Bush played the best all-around game of his professional career.
Inside the press box.
The Saints offense scored five touchdowns with relative ease and the special teams, namely Bush, added another. The defense didn't score, but it rattled Arizona's 38-year-old quarterback Kurt Warner who, incidentally, is now 0-3 in the post-season at the Superdome. Warner was sacked once, threw an interception and was briefly knocked out of the game. When he returned, it didn't matter. The game was out of reach.
It was loud in there. Really loud. Especially when Deuce McAllister led the team onto the field. The players acknowledged the role played by the boisterous fans inside the sold-out Superdome, as they usually do. What an advantage. The decibel level had to rival any other game played in that building. And next week will be louder.
Fans outside the Dome after the game.
Should the Saints win and advance to the Super Bowl, there will be a party here like the city has never seen. Hard to believe. If the Saints actually win the Super Bowl…
People have waited their whole lives to see the Saints with an opportunity like this one. Many have died waiting. Now, twice in four years the Saints are in the NFC title game.
I feel fortunate to have a front row seat for this exciting run — and to have moved back home this year.

The shift to digital technologies holds the promise of enhanced dialogue and collaboration with both partners and customers. However, as with all change, it is not without risk. Business decision makers need to be confident that they have the tools to enable successful transition and are looking to thought leaders who can point the way.
To do this, a culture change is needed across the organisation, she says. "Becoming a digital enterprise will inform and change how a company makes decisions, how it engages customers, how it empowers employees, how it transforms products and how it optimises operations.
Adherence to outdated traditions can prevent beneficial change, says Simon O'Carroll, marketing director at Mercato Solutions: "The biggest blockers to digital transformation are ultimately people adopting the 'This is how we have always done it' attitude. When actioned, the majority of digital transformation programmes are made up of stand-alone initiatives, often with strong disagreements on collaboration practices and senior team members believing they have a digital vision, whilst employees disagree." He advocates joining up already deployed instances into coherent transformation solutions, as well as empowering organisations to rapidly prototype new processes and systems.
This means that organisations can shift from merely reacting to events to responding in real time, or even pre-emptively, to anticipate and solve customer issues before they become issues.
Scott says Malong Technologies is seeing customers adopting a mindset of openness to new ideas, with the understanding that a few of those ideas might not work out.

Recession to leave its mark on UK workforce
The onset of recession is forcing businesses to adopt cost cutting strategies that will lead to over a quarter of UK IT roles being carried out overseas by the end of 2010.
Published: 15 Dec 2008 12:52
One in four IT jobs will be outsourced to offshore locations by global firms, according to the latest study of 200 global firms by the Hackett Group.
It said 89% of IT organisations within these firms will have at least some roles carried out in offshore locations.
IT offshoring makes up a significant portion of a total of almost 400,000 jobs in corporate finance, IT, HR, and procurement moving offshore in 2009 and 2010. This will bring the total number of back-office jobs being done offshore to over 850,000, said Hacket.
"The unfolding economic crisis has triggered a mix of responses from corporate executives, aimed largely at preservation of cash, operating profitability and ultimately market valuation," said the Hackett report.
"General and administrative business process globalisation, which in the short term is still largely driven by labour arbitrage opportunity, squarely addresses operating profitability performance through its immediate impact on general and administrative cost."
According to supplier trade association Intellect's Offshore Futures Report 2008 three quarters of businesses believe offshoring IT is a norm. The report found that 77% of respondents said offshoring of IT and IT enabled business processes was a normal business practice. The survey questioned about 100 people including academics, suppliers, user businesses, and analysts.
"Offshoring has rapidly emerged as one of the most dynamic influences on UK and global business. For many organisations, offshoring has become business as usual in a relatively short space of time," said the report.

Ask anybody: being in a relationship is an amazing experience. However, no matter how amazing your connection with each other may be, your schedule can get the best of you (especially in college). Between meetings, intramural practices, chapter meetings, parties, classes and homework, it's not amazing anymore -- it's exhausting.
There are two secrets to keeping your relationship fun, exciting and full of energy.
Secret 1: Scheduling. Yeah, it's not glamourous to keep a day planner. It's not fun or spontaneous, but it definitely helps. As far as dating goes, write that down just like you write down what homework is due next week. When you see a date penciled in, you're more likely to make time for it as your week fills up and less likely to cancel (or forget). Also, if you're a complete workaholic like me, it gives you something to look forward to during a crazy week, and I'm personally less likely to see the date as a stressful thing.
Secret 2: Me-Time! I know, I know. You barely have time to see your significant other -- how can I expect you to make me-time? Listen to this: taking time alone, by yourself, just to do something you enjoy solo will make you a better partner. I'm serious! You'll recharge, take pleasure in something you loved before your fantastic relationship happened, and you'll go back to your fabulous social life with a new energy. Trust me! Take an hour, read a book, listen to some music, work out alone ... do what you love, by yourself, and get your mind back into a calm place. That way on your next date, you'll be even more present and totally not exhausted.
Always remember to make time for yourself, and also, if scheduling dates is getting stressful, try to do something easy: go bowling, get coffee, stay in with a movie. Making time for a relationship is important, but so is making time for yourself. And if you find yourself stressed over dates regardless? Maybe it's your relationship. After a certain number of dates, you should feel more comfortable, start exploring each others' personal lives, seeing each others' homes ... not meeting at a random restaurant for the umpteenth time.
Another point to remember is that a relationship is a two-way street. If he's not doing anything to help you plan dates, especially if you're super busy, you need to call him to action. Ask him to pick something fun, or urge him to take you to do something he enjoys. He loves to grill? Ask him to teach you a few tricks. Loves paintballing? Lace up your big-girl shoes and go! Making time for dates also means compromising sometimes. And you'll learn a lot more about him when you do what he likes!
Now stop reading this fantastic column, go schedule a date and take some me-time. I'll try to do the same thing. I actually have to schedule my own me-time.


Multitasking is a great aspect to have in any electronic device because it allows you to do more than one thing at a time. Just like in life, if you can multitask you can get things done a lot quicker and the same thing applies to electronic devices. If you have the ability to have more than one window / application open at the same time and be able to easily switch between those windows / applications it makes your task at hand a lot faster and easier!
The surprising thing is that the iPod Touch and the iPhone are lacking this much needed feature. However the Palm Pre inspired application called ProSwitcher is here to solve this problem.
ProSwitcher is a multitasking application that allows you to run more than one application at the same time, and with ProSwitcher you have the ability to switch through your open applications with ease. The downfall to ProSwitcher is you must jailbreak your device to get it, but why wouldn't you jailbreak your iPod Touch or iPhone? ProSwitcher is just one of those applications that really everyone that has an iPod Touch or iPhone should have!
Step 1) Launch Cydia from your SpringBoard and then navigate to the search tab. Once you are inside the search tab type proswitcher into the search field. Once ProSwitcher comes up on the search results click it and then click the install button to install ProSwitcher to your iPod Touch or iPhone.
Activating an app to be set to run in the background is a very simple task to do. Simply hold down the Power and the Home button together for a second or two and then you should see a small dialog box come up saying "backgrounding enable". This means that if you close the application it will continue to run in the background while you open up another application. You can do this to as many applications as your iPod Touch or iPhone will allow before becoming choppy and non responsive. You should be able to open a good 5 applications or more without this happening.
Once you have activated applications to be run in the background, scrolling through your open applications is simple to do. Simply click the ProSwitcher icon on your SpringBoard and you will be brought to a tab like interface with all your open applications. Simply flick through them till you find the application that you want to resume and click it! If you are done using an application simply click the Exit button in the top left hand corner of the tabs and it will exit the application you want to exit.
ProSwitcher has quite a few settings to play around with to customize how you enable backgrounding, Theming options, Title options and much more. To Browse these settings simply go into Settings on your SpringBoard and scroll down till you see the ProSwitcher icon. Click the ProSwitcher icon and then you will be brought to a page with a lot of customizable settings. I am not going to explain what each of these settings do you can play around with them yourself but I will go over a couple main ones.
If you turn the Become Home Screen option on each time you exit an application by pressing the home button it will take you right to the tab like interface of all your open applications. This is sometimes handy because then you don't have to keep pressing the ProSwitcher icon on your SpringBoard.
If you go into the Activation Methods tab you will see you have a lot of options on how you want to enable the backgrounding of an application. This is more of a personal preference you can choose whichever method you wish and if you don't like it you can change it back to the default method easily. You can also choose combination of these options which will make it so you have to hold down more than one button to enable backgrounding.
The rest of the options are straightforward you can try them out yourself if you are feeling curious.
ProSwitcher is just one of those applications that really benefits the iPod Touch and the iPhone. If I were you I would at least download the application and give it a try because you don't know what you are missing!

Николай Эрнестович Ра́длов (1889—1942) — русский и советский художник, искусствовед, педагог. Сын Э. Л. Радлова и брат режиссёра С. Э. Радлова.

Биография

Николай Эрнестович Радлов родился а в Санкт-Петербурге. Предки его были выходцами из Чехии, из местечка , изображение которой было помещено на их дворянском гербе. Дед Радлова был учёным-филологом, отец руководил Публичной библиотекой в Петрограде. Мать Николая Эрнестовича, урождённая Давыдова, приходилась двоюродной сестрой художнику Врубелю. Окончил классическое отделение средней школы Annenschule с преподаванием на немецком языке, что давало право наравне с выпускниками гимназий поступать в университет.

Интерес к гуманитарным наукам, унаследованный от деда и отца, привёл его на историко-филологический факультет Петербургского университета. Не прерывая учёбы в университете, поступил в Академию художеств, учился у Д. Н. Кардовского и Е. Е. Лансере.                           В 1900 г. Д. Н. Кардовский вернулся из Мюнхена, где обучался в школе-студии А. Ашбе. В Мюнхене под влиянием книги  А. Гильдебранда "Проблема формы в изобразительном искусстве" и идей А. Ашбе художник Кардовский создал методическую "теорию двух установок зрения". Радлов, будучи старостой академической мастерской Кардовского, сумел изложить эту теорию в 1913 г. на страницах журнала «Аполлон» , в 1935 г. вышла его книга «Рисование с натуры» .

В 1911 году Радлов успешно окончил университет. Ещё во время учёбы опубликовал свою первую статью об археологических раскопках. В 1912 году начал сотрудничать в журнале «Аполлон». В 1913 году стал сотрудником журнала «Новый Сатирикон». Используя знание нескольких иностранных языков, освещал события культурной жизни Франции, Англии, Италии, Германии, Австрии, Америки. Позже перешёл к обзорам столичных выставок и проблемам современного искусства. В 1914 году был издан его очерк о В. А. Серове. В 1916 году вышла богато иллюстрированная книга «Современная русская графика» (2-е изд. вышло в 1917 году).

В 1919 году коллегией под председательством академика С. Ф. Ольденбурга был избран профессором Института истории искусств, основанного в 1912 году графом В. П. Зубовым.
В течение ряда лет Радлов был проректором, учёным секретарём института, председателем секции общей теории и методологии искусства, читал лекции и выступал с докладами по западноевропейскому искусству XIX века. В 1921 году Радлов начал преподавать рисование в Академии художеств и в должности профессора работал там с перерывами до своего переезда в Москву в 1937 году. С 1923 года был членом правления издательства «Academia».

Научную и преподавательскую деятельность в 1920—1930 годах Радлов совмещал с работой художника — писал портреты, пейзажи, натюрморты, участвовал в выставках. В 1922—1927 годах входил в состав выставочной группы «Шестнадцать», в 1928—1930 возглавлял созданное на её основе «Общество живописцев».

Художник много работал в области книжной графики: иллюстрировал книги, печатался в сатирических журналах, в газете «Литературный Ленинград» и еженедельнике «Рабочий и театр». Он заведовал художественной частью журнала «Бегемот» и ленинградского отделения издательства «Художественная литература», был заместителем председателя и председателем правления Ленинградского Союза советских художников. В творческом содружестве с писателем Михаилом Зощенко издал сборники юмористических рисунков «Весёлые проекты» (1928) и «Счастливые идеи» (1931), оформил несколько сборников его рассказов, в том числе «Личная жизнь» (1934) и «Рассказы» (1939). Иллюстрировал издания произведений В. Я. Шишкова, Марка Твена, Шекспира, Бальзака, Анатоля Франса, Чуковского, А. М. Волкова и других советских и иностранных писателей и поэтов. Его «Рассказы в картинках» о приключениях домашних животных, птиц и зверей с текстами детской писательницы Н. В. Гернет выдержали в период с 1937 по 1986 год семь изданий на русском языке тиражом каждое от 100000 до 400000 экз. и были переведены на ряд иностранных языков. В 1938 году издание на английском языке получило премию на Выставке детской книги в Нью-Йорке.

С 1937 года профессор Московского художественного института и руководитель графической секции Московского Союза художников. Сотрудничает как художник-карикатурист в журнале «Крокодил», регулярно печатая сатирические рисунки на бытовые и политические темы, и в детских журналах.

Радлов считался непревзойдённым мастером шаржей на писателей, музыкантов, театральных деятелей, известных шахматистов. С началом Великой Отечественной войны был активным участником выпуска «Окон ТАСС». За период с июня 1941 до октября 1942 года, когда вышел его последний плакат, нарисовал их около сорока. В 1942 году коллектив художников-сатириков «Окон ТАСС», в том числе Н. Э. Радлов, были удостоены Сталинской премии второй степени. Работал в журнале «Фронтовой юмор».

Николай Радлов — как художник вышедшего в 1941 г. мультфильма «Бармалей» — стоял у истоков советской мультипликации. По его книге «Рассказы в картинках» в 1960 г. был создан мультфильм «Светлячок № 1».

Н. Э. Радлов скончался 29 декабря 1942 года от тяжёлой болезни, причиной которой была травма, полученная в январе 1942 года при попадании бомбы в дом, где он жил. Похоронен в Москве на Новодевичьем кладбище (участок № 2; фото могилы).

Семья
Н. Э. Радлов был женат дважды, оба раза на художницах:
 с 1912 — на ученице Высшего художественного училища при Императорской Академии художеств Эльзе Яковлевне Зандер (1888 — ноябрь 1924, Ленинград), дочери генерал-майора Якова Яковлевича Зандера.

Q: Convert String to "yyy-MM-dd" format with Date as data type I'm trying to get the data stored in database by getting the date then populate the table.
    List<String> contents = new ArrayList<>();
    List<Record> records

try {
        Session session = sessionFactory.getCurrentSession();
        Query<World> query = null;

        query = session.createQuery("from World where date like :dateCont, World.class);
        query.setParameter("dateCont", "%" + contents.get(0) + "%");

        worlds = query.getResultList();

    } catch (Exception e) {
        // TODO Auto-generated catch block
        e.printStackTrace();
    }

The problem here is that it gives me an error exception:

java.lang.ClassCastException: class java.lang.String cannot be cast to
  class java.util.Date (java.lang.String and java.util.Date are in
  module java.base of loader 'bootstrap')

I know what's wrong because the List<String> contents values are string and needed to be converted to Date but I tried so many codes and it doesn't work.
//The following are the codes that I tried but it won't work:

//FIRST

 Date date = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy").parse(contentsStart.get(0));
 new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd").format(date);

//---------------------------------------

//SECOND

Date newDate;
DateFormat formatter = null;

formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
newDate = (Date) formatter.parse(contentsStart.get(0));

So, is there any way to change the given value to date but it should retains the format "yyyy-MM-dd" and the datatype should be Date.

PS: the format of date in database is "yyyy-MM-dd" also.
  Both my date entity field and date from DB is both Date as their
  datatype.

A: Try this:
 DateFormat format = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
  Date d1= (Date) format.parse(yourDate);

A: You can use like operator only on string (VARCHAR) fields. In the WHERE clause you have to convert your field to string (using format function) in order to be able to use LIKE. So you have to call the convert function (also) IN THE QUERY.
Unfortunately, there are no DATE-functions in EJBQL, so you will have to switch to the native query. For example, for Oracle you can use TO_CHAR like this
SELECT ... WHERE TO_CHAR(date, 'MM/DD/YYYY') LIKE ...

For good performance you will have to add a functional index.
See also http://www.sqlines.com/oracle-to-sql-server/to_char_datetime

One alternative would be to add a new string column date_string, that will contain the formatted representation of your date and use this column with LIKE. But you will have to make absolutely sure, that both dates are always synchronized.

Two Pittsburgh area teenagers took a video of a toddler vaping. Now police are investigating
The police said in a statement on Monday that the Troop A Criminal Investigation Unit is investigating the incident they allege took place while a 17-year-old girl was babysitting a 2-year-old boy the evening of January 9 in Westmoreland County, part of the Pittsburgh metropolitan area. An 18-year-old woman was also at the home, police said. In the video obtained by state police and provided to CNN affiliate KDKA, at least one girl can be heard laughing while a toddler appears to put a vaping device in his mouth. A girl next to the child holds her phone out in front of him, appearing to take a photo or video. The toddler falls down and starts coughing.Police said they received an anonymous tip about the incident on Sunday through the Safe2Say reporting system after the video was posted on Snapchat. In the release, the police said the device is believed to contain 3% nicotine and no THC."The child, while observed in the video to be coughing after inhaling from the device, did not display any other visible effects," the police statement said.Authorities alerted the child's parents, who they said were unaware of the incident, and also reported it to Children and Youth Services. Charges of endangering the welfare of children are pending against the teenagers, police said.The teenagers are not related to the boy, police said.Police have not publicly identified the two teRead More – Source

This report aims to provide insights about parenting mixed children to inform debates about family life and professional strategies for support. Focusing on mothers and fathers living together, it:. To date, little research has focused on how couples parenting across ethnic categories and mixed religious backgrounds understand difference and instil a sense of belonging in their children. To explore this topic, this study analysed census data and interviewed 35 couples from different backgrounds. Advances in using census data now make it possible to identify households where couples are parenting across ethnic categories. Despite parenting across racial, ethnic and religious boundaries being increasingly common, it is portrayed as though fraught with difficulties. The notion of 'culture clash' is frequently used to explain its problematic nature, with assertions that children are subject to identity confusion.

Combining a narrative voice with vivid, passionate, and painful accounts of the families of death row inmates, the book demonstrates that crimes that lead to death sentences also devastate the families of those convicted.
These families, King argues, are the unseen victims of capital punishment. King challenges readers to question the morality of a punishment that victimizes families of the condemned and ripples out through future generations. Chapters tell the stories of families that have lost life savings supporting an accused loved one, endured intense public scrutiny, been subjected to harassment by the media, and are struggling to live with the inhumane treatment that their loved ones receive on death row.
The implications of conversion in Malaysia, a multiracial Muslim-majority country, extend beyond a mere personal choice. The country has a dual justice system: the secular common laws, and the religious sharia laws. This includes matters concerning inheritance, marriage, divorce, welfare, and prayers. Knowing such consequences, a non-Muslim in a relationship with a Muslim knows that conversion represents the act of breaking the boundary between experiencing religion as strictly personal, and placing oneself underneath an expansive, legalistic religion enforced by the state.
This requirement can make things difficult, but many Malaysians have crossed ethnic and religious boundaries in forming relationships and families. New Naratif spoke to 13 individuals about their experiences with interracial relationships.

Opposition to miscegenation, thereby preserving their race's purity and nature, is a typical theme of racial supremacist movements. Though the notion that racial mixing is undesirable has arisen at different points in history, it gained particular prominence in Europe during the era of colonialism. Although the term "miscegenation" was formed from the Latin miscere "to mix" plus genus "race" or "kind", and it could therefore be perceived as value-neutral, it is almost always a pejorative term used by people who believe in white racial superiority and purity.
In Spanish America, the term mestizaje , which is derived from mestizo —the blending of European whites and Indigenous peoples of the Americas , is used to refer to racial mixing. In the present day, the word miscegenation is avoided by many scholars, because the term suggests that race is a concrete biological phenomenon, rather than a categorization imposed on certain relationships.
The term's historical use in contexts that typically implied disapproval is also a reason why more unambiguously neutral terms such as interracial , interethnic or cross-cultural are more common in contemporary usage. These words, much older than the term miscegenation , are derived from the Late Latin mixticius for "mixed", which is also the root of the Spanish word mestizo.
These non-English terms for "race-mixing" are not considered as offensive as "miscegenation", although they have historically been tied to the caste system casta that was established during the colonial era in Spanish-speaking Latin America. Today, the mixes among races and ethnicities are diverse, so it is considered preferable to use the term "mixed-race" or simply "mixed" mezcla. In Portuguese-speaking Latin America i.

What Buddhists Believe Venerable K. Sri Dhammananda Maha Thera. In Buddhism, marriage is regarded as entirely a personal, individual concern and not as a religious duty.
Interracial society, wiki its ideology of dating, has traditionally been intolerant of ethnic Some assimilation into Buddhism and Shamanism eventually took place, the Interracial Japanese clan, claiming topics 30, Korean members, views.
The transformations wrought in the Atlantic world during the colonial era brought Native Americans, Europeans, and Africans into sustained contact in the Americas for the first time, fostering interethnic mixing, sexual violence and intimacy, and intermarriage. In a wide variety of colonial sites across the Atlantic, interracial marriages expanded kinship and trading networks, cemented military and political alliances, and facilitated the adaptation and survival of Native communities.
Interracial marriages not only provided economic and social benefits to European and Euro-American explorers, traders, and settlers and the indigenous populations whom they encountered, they also served as a powerful political tool in contested borderlands far from imperial centers. In Latin America, North America, the Caribbean, and along the West African coast, European males mingled socially and sexually with women of Indian, African, and mixed heritage, though the vast majority of these interracial relationships took place outside the sanctity of marriage, and many involved some level of coercion.
Responses to the frequency and visibility of illicit interracial relations were nonetheless uneven and changed over time, as the emergence of legal, social, and cultural prohibitions against interracial marriage prevented the widespread acceptance of racially exogamous mixed unions and intermarriage. Focusing on official attitudes toward and legal restrictions on racial interaction and interracial marriage as well as everyday practices, these newer studies track the extent to which colonial policies varied in response to local conditions and broader imperial developments.
Attention to intermarriage as a tool of colonization and strategy for assimilation has underscored the critical role of Native women as cultural intermediaries. Scholars argue that the toleration or ban of interracial marital unions by officials depended upon a range of interrelated factors: demographic conditions, the ancestry of the female partners European, Indian, African, or mixed heritage , public attitudes toward interracial mixture, colonizing and trading goals, and transatlantic religious and intellectual currents.
Intermarriage, and the inclusion of mixed-raced offspring in kinship networks, fundamentally transformed family structures, shaped developing notions of racial difference, and posed challenges to group cohesion and individual and national identity. While there is no one text offering a general overview of interracial marriage in the Atlantic world, scholars have produced a number of regional studies and essay collections dedicated to the subject of race mixture and intermarriage over the centuries.

Bride and groom exchange barley drinks Marriages have traditionally been arranged with parents of the groom seeking a bride from the same social position. It was generally considered taboo for a woman to reject the man selected for her. Among the upper classes, pedigree was important. The advise of fortunetellers was sought and parents negotiated through middlemen. Virginity was not regarded as important.
The Buddhist views on marriage are very liberal: in Buddhism, marriage is regarded entirely as personal and individual concern, and not as a religious duty.
Our analyses show large differences in endogamy across groups. After taking compositional effects into account, we find that both structural and cultural group-level factors have significant effects on endogamy. Cultural explanations which focus on the role of norms and preferences play a more important role than structural explanations which focus on meeting and mating opportunities. Our results reinforce the common but untested interpretation of endogamy in terms of group boundaries.

From time immemorial, man has been preoccupied with the pursuit of happiness in life, from the cradle to the grave. He works and struggles very hard to attain happiness, very often without knowing exactly what happiness means because of his ignorance of the nature of life. Although all religions provide advice and guidelines for their adherents to practice in order to attain happiness in life, more often than not, these advices and guidelines are ignored owing to man's craving, hatred and illusion.
Many people who experienced frustrations and sufferings hope and pray to find happiness for present life and here after; others, though enjoying a large measure of happiness on earth, are still not contented and crave for eternal bliss in heaven after leaving this world. For the ordinary man, as for the child, it is difficult to make a distinction between happiness and pleasure.

Order Issue 11
An Embroidered Life
Interview By Jamie Allendorf
Reena Makwana finds her muses while wandering the streets of London or while taking the bus to her next destination. It's the ordinary people of the city that catch her eye and spur her creative mind. From Brixton market to the numerous parks that dot the city, her next subject could always be quite literally around the corner.
Her university studies began with a self-described "misguided inclination" towards a fashion degree, but Reena soon realized her true passion lay in illustration, which she later pursued at Camberwell College of Arts. Fond childhood memories of the drawings of Tove Jansson's Moomin and Quentin Blake's sketches in Roald Dahl's books affirmed her change of path.
As a founding member of Nest Gallery, an artistic collective committed to working with female artists in the greater London area, Reena hopes to help diversify the contemporary art scene by advocating for greater female representation in galleries. Much of her work focuses on strong female figures that have been dubbed as feminist icons.
Working primarily with embroidery, Reena's work offers a whimsical exploration of the everyday experiences that make up life in London.
Describe your artistic and creative process. How do you go from your inspiration to physically creating pieces?
Day-to-day, I usually take pictures very discretely on my phone of people I want to draw. I'll see some one like, 'Oh, I really want to draw them,' so I'll quickly take a picture and then I'll take it home and it always starts as a pencil drawing that I'll do and then I'll turn it into a color drawing. Usually, it's like a process of selection and also work that I think works in the best sort of narrative fashion with itself.
What about the people in London in particular do you find inspiring?
Even though London is so big, there are so many opportunities for community and you kind of get to know people and there are certain people that you always see that are really unusual. I love that kind of diversity and that community London has. I find that very appealing.
What attracted you to embroidery as a medium?
I have been sewing and kind of doing embroidery and sewing since I was quite young, I'd probably say about seven. It's kind of a mixture of things. My mum's side of the family is quite creative. My grandma used to embroider when she was younger and my mum taught me how to sew and I used to sew sequins onto fabric. I remember I got a Get Set needle set kit and it had how to do cross-stitch and different types of embroidery.
It's always been kind of a hobby and then when I did my foundation, and I went to college, I started putting everything together. Using textiles, doing drawings, and working with a mix. I find it really therapeutic, but then I find it comes naturally to drawing, kind of expressing myself using that medium.
What do you think about connotations that some people have embroidery as being a primarily female art form or a female art medium?
I quite like the idea that it's kind of a female art and it's something that we do and that gets passed down. There are a lot of male artists that use embroidery in their art language as well, but I like that it's a female medium.
As a female artist yourself do you feel like there are different expectations that are placed on you when you display your work?
People have assumptions about craft that it's going to be sort of a bit amateur sometimes. People will just assume it's going to look a certain way. Sometimes, when people see my work, they are really surprised that it's working in a contemporary fashion with something that is very traditional. I think a lot of female textile artists are working in a contemporary way and it's quite exciting.
Reena's work is currently on exhibition at The Douglas Fir until March 24th.

Fran + Ollie's Cornwall Beach Wedding was 3 days of fantastically beautiful carnage! It all kicked off with a spot of surfing the morning prior to the wedding. After some time in the waves, the guys threw a welcome BBQ later that evening at Place House. Surrounded by their favourite people as the sun went down over the sleepy village of St. Mawe's. When you imagine an idyllic setting for a dreamy, hazy Summer wedding, this one would be pretty hard to top.
The next day, the main event, the big sha-bang! From a chilled out morning spent with loved ones, the beautiful ceremony on Porthcurnick beach, football coming home (lolz) to *that* dance floor. Heart eyes for days.
As the Summer Sun didn't let up, it meant we left the portraits until a generous amount of bubbles had been consumed. I love when time allows this as not only did it mean the guys were super relaxed (cheers processco!) and got by far and away the dreamiest light, but it allowed them to max out the time spent mingling with everyone during the reception! WINNER WINNER, TOFU DINNER!
I love when a couple tread their own path and it's an absolute dream to play a small part in trying to capture that. If this sounds like it's up your street shoot us a message!

Q: A basic question from measure theory I'm very new in measure theory and I have the following question:
Let $(X, \Sigma, \mu$) be a probability measure, that is, $\mu (X)=1$. Two measurable, real valued functions  $f$ and $g$ on $X$ are called independent if for all $ \alpha , \beta \in \mathbb{R}$, $\mu( \{ f<\alpha \})\cap \mu( \{ g<\beta \})=\mu( \{ f<\alpha \})\mu( \{ g<\beta \})$
Notation: $\{ f<\alpha \}=f^{-1}(-\infty,\alpha )$
Show that if $f$ and $g$ are independent, then for all intervals $I$ in $\mathbb{R}$ and $\beta \in \mathbb{R}$, we have $\mu(f^{-1}(I)\cap  \{g<\beta \})=\mu(f^{-1}(I))\mu (\{g<\beta \})$
First I try to show for any semi-open intervals $I=[\alpha, \gamma)=(-\infty,\gamma)\cap[\alpha,\infty)$. So $f^{-1}(I)= \{ f<\alpha \}\cap \{ f\geq\alpha \}$. But here I cannot think for the rest. Thanks!

A: For a bounded measure(such as a probability measure), we have $$A_n \uparrow A \implies P(A_n) \uparrow P(A)$$ and $$A_n \downarrow A \implies P(A_n) \downarrow P(A)$$ So you can generalize your independence condition to non-strict inequalities such as
$$ \mu( \{ f\leq\alpha \}\cap \{ g<\beta \})=\mu( \{ f\leq \alpha \})\mu( \{ g<\beta \})$$
and other similar versions.
Then for example if $I = (a,b) = (-\infty, b) - (-\infty,a)$, we have
\begin{align}
\mu(f^{-1}(I)\cap \{g<\beta \})&= \mu(f^{-1}(-\infty, b)\cap \{g<\beta \}) - \mu(f^{-1}(-\infty, a)\cap \{g<\beta \})\\
& = \mu( \{ f < b \})  \mu( \{ g < \beta \}) - \mu( \{ f < a \})  \mu( \{ g < \beta \}) \\
& = (\mu( \{ f < b \}) - \mu( \{ f < a \})) \mu( \{ g < \beta \}) \\
& = \mu(f^{-1}(I)) \mu( \{ g < \beta \})
\end{align}
Similarly, we can get the result for closed and semiclcosed interval

Most of Meguiar's applicators, microfibre cloth, towels and wash mitts are machine washable.
Use hot water to wash your cloths and towels. Waxes, polishes and most other cleaners and detergents we use on our cars are not water soluble, therefore when they dry they adhere in a solid state to the fibres of your towels. A cold water wash will simply allow them to remain in a solid state and not completely wash off. Hot water, however, allows them to soften and loosen from the threads and allows the detergent to lift the contaminants from the fabric.
It's a good idea to store your clean towels in a covered plastic container, but avoid using an airtight container as air circulation will help prevent mildew build up. Containers which have snap vents for circulation are ideal.
Avoid washing your towels with other fabrics as they tend to pick up lint and other particles from other fabrics.
Do not use fabric softener as this coats your towels with silicone. Try using a little distilled white vinegar in the final rinse cycle to help remove excess detergent and soften your towels naturally.
Use liquid detergents instead of powder as the powder may not dissolve properly in the wash.
Never use bleach on your towels as this can damage the microfibres and make them coarser which in turn can scratch your car's finish.
Air dry your towel. It is safe to use the clothes dryer on high heat to dry your towels, in fact this will make the towels fluffier.

Some 2,367,000 new cars were registered in 2018, down more than 173,000 on the previous year.
UK trade body the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) predicted a further 2% drop in demand this year.
SMMT chief executive Mike Hawes described 2018 as "highly turbulent", but insisted sales were "on a par" with the average over the past 10 to 15 years.
He warned that a drop in consumer confidence linked to Brexit, concern about diesels and the impact of a new testing regime are all having a negative effect on the market.
"The challenges before us are something of a perfect storm," Mr Hawes said.
"It's causing considerable worry and agitation across boardrooms both in the UK and abroad."
He said it would be "unfair" to attribute the entire drop in demand to fears over the UK's withdrawal from the EU, but explained that falling consumer confidence has reduced people's inclination to make a "big ticket purchase".
A no-deal Brexit would be a "catastrophe for the industry", according to Mr Hawes, who stated that Theresa May's agreement with the EU is "not a perfect deal" but would provide the transition period the automotive sector needs.
The "lingering sense of uncertainty" around how diesel cars will be taxed and treated is also affecting the total number of cars being sold, Mr Hawes said.
Demand for diesels sank by 30% last year.
Some diesel car owners are switching to petrol (up 9%) or alternatively fuelled vehicles (up 21%) such as plug-in hybrids or pure electrics, but the majority are holding on to their existing cars, SMMT figures show.
The falling market share of diesel cars – which produce less CO2 than petrol models – is making it harder for manufacturers to meet EU targets on cutting CO2 by 2021.
The average amount emitted by new cars in the UK in 2018 rose by around 3% year-on-year.
Mr Hawes claimed the Government's decision to slash grants for new low-emission cars in October "doesn't really send the sign to the consumer that these are the right vehicles to be bought".
The implementation of a new emissions testing procedure in the European Union, known as WLTP, came into force in September and has led to a supply shortage which also had an impact on sales.
Jim Holder, editorial director of What Car? magazine, told the Press Association the 7% decline in new car sales last year represents an "abrupt downturn", but he believes the automotive industry remains "reasonably robust".
He added that negativity towards diesel vehicles – which has been "bred by misinformation from government outwards" – has "potentially sunk" its future.

Finding tactical gear on the runway, may come at no surprise, especially in terms of the later part of this decade. After all, fashion loves to go utility, just as much as it heavily relies on finding inspiration from other sorts of subcultures. But somewhere beneath this streetwear focal point, is something that has become entirely fetishized this season.
For example, some brands like, Jeremy Scott, LandLord, and Nicopanda, all particularly paid homage to the likes of fantasy based fetish-gear. They all similarly featured strapped parachute holsters with center rings on the chest, as well as belt loop harnesses and clips. Both styles served as layering accessories or could be seen as full blown outfits.
The statement was bold and colorful. I'm sure, even trendy for some. Yet, the only thing I was left with, was a simple question I never thought I'd ever have to ask myself: Is it really time to strap in? Well, it's a hard "no" from me.
Whatever the answer may be, for you: know, this is only the beginning of the playful esthetic, as it is already on the way to become more capitalized on the 2019 catwalks. So much for being out of sight, out of mind!

The Decision to End Abusive Relationships: The Role of Offender Characteristics

Criminal Justice and Behavior

Much research has focused on the ways in which various community and criminal justice agencies attempt to intervene to break the cycle of domestic violence. Ultimately, this is the victim's decision, yet few researchers have attempted to identify the factors involved in the decision to end an abusive relationship. In particular, researchers have tended to ignore the role offender characteristics may play in this decision. This study, based on interview data collected from domestic violence victims by members of an innovative community-based victim assistance program, suggests that these factors are important. Logistic regression analyses demonstrate that the most important predictors of women attempting to end abusive relationships were (a) when offenders kept weapons in the home and (b) when there had been a formal criminal justice response (i.e., arrest, prosecution) to the violence.

Thin end of the wedge isn't it? There are so many problems with the brexits. No wonder some get annoyed when people post a few of them on here
Funny that people are now saying "let it go", rather than "it's going to be great".
We're not even two weeks in, not even attempting to trade at full capacity (limited by covid, which is masking some big trade problems) and yet still supplies and couriers have been disrupted, business are re-assessing their markets. What will it be like in the summer or when trade is back in full flow?
What I do find ironic is that our fisherman now don't even have any more fish, but now they can't even sell all the ones they do have. What is even better is prices to sell to Europe (where most of our fish goes) have gone down, but prices of fish we eat have gone up, so it's lose, lose in an area we were meant to be "winning", it's so $hit it's laughable. Couldn't even get the 0.1% they were aiming for correct, what chance does the 99.9% have.
The point of the thread is a small one, but there's thousands of things like this that the brexshiters will either not have expected, not understood or won't admit they were wrong about. We're all now going to be forced into spending at least the next decade relying on the services sector to bail them out and cover the lost trade, even though the services sector advised against brexit.
Wait until the "just in time" aspect effects out manufacturing, and then we get priced out, it's going to be fantastic (not).

It was a shambles and totally counter productive, and I would never have voted for it in a million years, but we just have to live with it now.

I just think that smalltown gets a lot of undue crap on here from Brexiteers.

Diego Sanchez Talks About Joshua Fabia's Plan To Get 'Major Settlement' From UFC
Several months after Diego Sanchez split from his controversial 'life guru' coach Joshua Fabia, the star has admitted that his former mentor had been hatching a plan to try to get the UFC to agree to a 'major settlement.'
"(Fabia was) working his ass off to do whatever was best for his intentions… not what was best for Diego Sanchez," Sanchez said on instagram Live. "I believe my mentor was guiding me for what was best for him. And what was best for him was to try and figure out a way to get a settlement with the UFC.
"He knew that if there was a major settlement with the UFC that I was going to hook him up with half, because it was him, it was all his idea, all his plan. He was masterminding everything. I made the mistake," he said.
"I can't go too much into that. I will get into it sometime, but it ain't gonna be free and it ain't gonna be on Instagram, and it's going to be with a professional that understands mental manipulation."
Remarkably, even though most people's initial beef with Fabia was down to the fact that he appeared to be a terrible MMA coach who clearly made Sanchez a worse fighter than he was previously, 'The Nightmare' is actually still defending his ex-mentor's coaching techniques as he prepares to make his return to fighting in the bareknuckle boxing promotion BKFC.
"People can talk shit about Fabia all day, but man. That f—r was a badass trainer, and I learned a lot from him. And people gonna see what I learned when I step into that BKFC because everything that we did for the last two years was no gloves. You saw the viral video of me upside down, getting hit. I wasn't hurt, by the way.
"It's all good, man. I'm where I need to be now. I got good people around me. The only thing that is my mentor, the only thing that is my guide is the holy spirit."
The 39-year-old Sanchez also swatted aside concerns that a move to bareknuckle boxing could be bad for Sanchez, who has already taken an enormous amount of damage over the years.
"As far as BKFC having more damage than UFC? That's some bullshit. The kicks are like a baseball bat, you've got elbows, you got slams. You get slammed on your neck in MMA. You got a lot more hip injuries, knee injuries, everything. Back injuries.
"There's not more trauma, there's not more danger. There are some guys in bare knuckle that, right now at this time, they haven't evolved. And the only thing they know how to do is brawl and come forward. But, like I said, I'm very excited to expand and bring what I have to bring to the table."


You or your child wake up in the morning and you sound a little hoarse and hacky. You're not sure if it's just the dry air or if you're coming down with something. Over-the-counter cough medicines do not work and you're a natural mama anyway, so what do you do?
Herbs work beautifully for quieting coughs and soothing dry, irritated throats. Herbal syrups are an easy way to replace those ineffective OTC meds and really nourish the body while it heals.
The herbs I chose to use for this syrup are safe for children and adults but should not be used by pregnant or lactating mothers. If you leave out the licorice root (also not safe for those with hypertension or on blood pressure medication) it will be fine to take while breastfeeding but I still would avoid while pregnant. Here is a list of contraindicated herbs.
Mullein is one of my favorite herbs for coughs. It helps clear mucus from the respiratory system and clear lung congestion. It is also an anti-viral herb that may help prevent and lessen duration of cold/flu viruses, etc.
Marshmallow Root is another demulcent herb which means it soothes mucus membranes. It's really great for dry coughs because it moistens the passageways of the throat. I use it in many of my teas as well.
Licorice Root has been used for hundreds of years and has many well-documented uses. It's wonderful for infections and inflammation. It is an expectorant which is the main reason for adding it to a cough syrup.
Thyme is also an expectorant herbs and helps to clear bronchial passageways. The flavonoids in thyme make it an effective anti-spasdomic herb, especially good for coughing spells. It's also antiseptic and wonderful for throat infections.
Angelica Root is warming and stimulating to the lungs and can help ease chest congestion. It is an expectorant and will help the cough be more productive.
Anise Seeds are used to break up congestion. They are great for deep, chesty, bronchial coughs. They are a wonderful expectorant.
Burdock Root reduces inflammation and calms sore throats. It is also mildly anti-bacterial and anti-fungal.
Slippery Elm Bark acts as a mild pain reliever, especially from sore throats which sometimes trigger coughs. It's a popular remedy for throat and bronchial irritations.
Wild Cherry Bark is a staple in every herbal cough remedy I've seen. It really helps calm a cough to the point of allowing restful, cough-free sleep. It's especially great for dry, hacking coughs that you just can't seem to shake.
Some other herbs that could be added to this cough syrup are lobelia and coltsfoot. I didn't have them on-hand so I left them out. Here is where I buy most of my herbs.
I do sell this in my online shop if you prefer to purchase rather than make it yourself.
Here's to getting rid of that cough!
Adapted from an Aviva Romm recipe. Use organic or wild-crafted herbs.

David Tang, the founder of Shanghai Tang, a global chain of flashy emporiums of Chinese-inspired clothing, accessories and home furnishings, and a prominent writer and raconteur in Hong Kong and Britain, died on August 30, 2017 in London. He was 63.
Shanghai Tang confirmed his death. The Financial Times, for which Mr. Tang wrote a weekly advice column, said the cause was cancer.
Tang was born into affluence in Hong Kong on Aug. 2, 1954; his grandfather Tang Shiu Kin founded the city's dominant Kowloon Motor Bus Company in 1933.
David was sent to the Perse School, a boarding school in Cambridge, England, when he was 13. He then studied philosophy at King's College in London and law at Cambridge before returning to Hong Kong.
From the start he showed an uncommon entrepreneurial talent, creating a series of sophisticated and highly successful start-ups in Hong Kong, among them Shanghai Tang; the Pacific Cigar Company, with plush hideaways for cigar lovers; and the exclusive China Club, made up of elegant dining rooms at the top of a former bank building downtown, with décor featuring a collection of Mao-era Chinese art.
Tang also dabbled in oil exploration along the Chinese coastline and gold mining in Africa and Australia. He opened high-end restaurants in London and elsewhere. And he was sought out by multinational companies to join their boards, in part because of his connections in an economically expanding China. He became a prominent adviser to companies like Blackstone, Tommy Hilfiger and British Airways.
Tang said in 2012 that his founding of the Pacific Cigar Company in 1992 had been a formative experience in tapping into East Asia's increasingly prosperous elite.
Appreciating that cigar lovers tended to be affluent but that cigar smoke was not always so loved by others, he set up clubs where cigars, wine and fine food could be enjoyed far from any crowds. He also obtained the exclusive right to import Cuba's famous Habanos cigars.
Tang later sold much of his stake in Pacific Cigar but was still the company's chairman at his death.
He founded Shanghai Tang in 1994, initially as a Hong Kong emporium to showcase lifestyle, fashion and home products that drew on the glamour of Chinese styles of the 1920s and '30s and gave them a more contemporary gloss. The first store, catering to tourists, soon became one of a chain: Dozens of outlets opened worldwide, from Bangkok and Singapore to London and New York.
Richemont, the Swiss luxury group and owner of such brands as Chloe, Van Cleef & Arpels and Cartier, took a stake in Shanghai Tang in 1998 and went on to acquire full ownership in 2008.
But despite attempts to position the company as a Chinese luxury brand, Shanghai Tang began to lose popularity in China; its offerings apparently failed to resonate with shoppers there. In July, Richemont announced that it had sold the company to Alessandro Battagli, an Italian businessman, for an undisclosed sum.
In his column for The Financial Times, which appeared on weekends, he dispensed advice on social etiquette and entertaining while peppering his answers to inquiries with outrageous anecdotes about his own experiences and those of his rich and famous friends.
In his final years, Mr. Tang became an increasingly caustic critic of how Beijing and its chosen leaders of Hong Kong had suppressed calls for greater democracy. When the territory's chief executive, CY Leung, began his annual policy address last year by mentioning democracy but failed to follow through on how he might achieve greater pluralism, Mr. Tang went to the city's Foreign Correspondents' Club and delivered a blistering speech.
"Whoever wrote that for the chief executive, if he himself did not write it, must be a comedian, or perhaps a monkey who accidentally typed up those words on a typewriter," he said.
Tang continued to start businesses. In 2011 he set up ICorrect, a website intended to help celebrities correct misinformation about them. Two years later he opened Tang Tang Tang Tang, another upper-middle-market boutique in Hong Kong, selling everything from $100 rice cookers to $180 cashmere ties.
He was knighted in 2008 for his charitable work.
Tang's survivors include his wife, Lucy, and two children, Victoria and Edward, from his first marriage, to Susanna Cheung, an actress, which ended in divorce.

Written by Matthew Toomey
Directed by: Alessandro Genovesi
Written by: Alessandro Genovesi, Giovanni Bognetti
Starring: Diego Abatantuono, Monica Guerritore, Salvatore Esposito, Cristiano Caccamo, Dino Abbrescia, Beatrice Arnera
Released: June 6, 2019
It may sound like a spin-off of Nia Vardalos's ridiculously successful 2002 My Big Fat Greek Wedding but this Italian film was inspired by a small, off-Broadway play that premiered in New York City in 2003. It was well received, particularly within the gay community, and it inspired writer Anthony J. Wilkinson to pen two sequels – My Big Gay Italian Funeral and My Big Gay Italian Midlife Crisis.
Brought to the screen by writer-director Alessandro Genovesi, My Big Gay Italian Wedding is intended to be a sweet, simple, light-hearted farce. It begins on a romantic note though. Antonio (Caccamo) pulls out a silver ring from his pocket, a surprised Paolo (Esposito) is quick to say yes, and the wedding preparations can now begin.
Every character in the film has self-generated problems and instead of going for the obvious solution, they follow romantic comedy clichés and make life as difficult as possible. For starters, Antonio hasn't told his parents that he's gay. Living in Berlin has allowed him to avoid their prying eyes but the time has come for him to travel to his home town in Italy and introduce his husband-to-be. You can sense the nerves as Antonio tip-toes around the subject during the early scenes.
He finally makes the big reveal (it's about 30 minutes in) and the remainder of the film follows the humorous, messy aftermath. Antonio's father (Abatantuono) markets himself as the town's open-minded, liberal mayor but he's clearly not comfortable with his son's sexuality. Antonio's mother (Guerritore) is much more accepting but she's now become a semi-crazed wedding planner who has a "my way or the highway" mentality when it comes to the venue and guest list.
Two other characters have a major role to play. The first is Camilla (Arnera), Antonio's ex-girlfriend who can't accept that he's now gay and will do anything she can to win back his affections. The second is Donato (Abbrescia), Antonio's chatty new flatmate who is battling personal issues and cannot be left alone. If it's not already evident, the wedding preps will be anything but smooth!
If the audience response at my preview screening is anything to go by, My Big Gay Italian Wedding is a likeable crowd pleaser with plenty of genuine giggles. The well-chosen cast do a great job stepping into the shoes of these self-absorbed characters and the screenplay has a nice mix of scenes that balance the craziness with the tenderness.
There are issues with the script. Certain parts are rushed and you get a sense that not enough has been made of the material. This is most evident during the quick-fire climax where some of the character transformations lack credibility. Why not make the finale longer and have more fun with it? Further, the weird, manufactured-for-laughs relationship between Antonio and his stalker ex-girlfriend hints at a darker style of comedy but feels out of place.
If you missed the chance to see it at last year's Italian Film Festival, My Big Gay Italian Wedding is now screening in limited release across Australia.
