Chris Sutton – Thanks For The Memories
Posted by The Celtic Underground | Oct 4, 2011 | Season 2011-2012 | 0 |
My fears were totally unfounded. O'Neill proved himself to be a great Celtic manager and Sutton became a huge favourite with the Celtic fans, none more so than myself. For five years Chris Sutton not only led the Celtic forward line but he was the leader on the park. He may not have been captain but the other players looked up to him and his influence was enormous. He gave Celtic an edge up front, a physical presence that we hadn't had for years and haven't had since. And he was a great footballer too.
Naturally everyone will have their favourite memories. I recall feeling devastated after the 5-1 reverse at Ibrox in November 2000. In the post match interviews Lorenzo Amoruso waxed lyrical about Rangers' win. Sutton was interviewed seconds later and when asked what his response was he said, 'Tell him I'll see him in February', a reference to the next Glasgow derby. In February Celtic won and Sutton battered Amoruso all over the park.
In October 2003 Celtic were faced with a defensive injury crisis before playing Rangers at Ibrox. O'Neill played Sutton at centre half and Celtic won 1-0. Such was his influence in defence that the stats showed that despite their best efforts Rangers attack did not get a shot on target all afternoon. Sutton had drilled the Celtic defence magnificently.
Then there were his goals. The chip against Rangers for a last minute winner after leaving Frank De Boer on his rear end; the flying header against Anderlecht; the thundering header against Ajax; the thrashing volley against Juventus; the sliding finish against Barcelona….and many, many more. Chris Sutton loved the big occasion and could be relied upon on the big stage particularly on European nights.
Chris has released his autobiography and it is interesting to the read the early excerpts from it. One of my big regrets is that great Celtic servants such as Chris, Alan Thompson and Didier Agathe did not get the opportunity to say a well earned final farewell to the supporters. Gordon Strachan was perfectly entitled to manage as he saw fit whilst at Parkhead but it was no secret that he was keen to move some players on with undue haste and Chris was one. The irony is that Celtic's best form under Strachan had occurred in October/November 2005 at a time when Chris had returned to the first team and was playing well. But 'downsizing' was now the buzz word at Celtic Park and Chris was obliged to move on. No one since has came even close to replacing him.
Reading the tale of how his baby boy almost died (when Celtic were in Valencia) was a most humbling experience. We can only thank the Lord that wee James pulled through and survived. Sounds as though he's made of the same strong stuff as his Dad.
Chris Sutton is appearing at various book stores this week to sign copies of his book. He'll be down my way in Waterstones at Braehead on Thursday at 6pm.
See you then big man…and thanks for the memories.

Mundane Monster
The most uninspiring of monsters
Fantasy, Modern Fantasy, Animal based, Scifi, Modern, Horror, Comedy, Slice of life.
Near the end of the 2016 election, a man named Miles Roland join the running. He appeared to be a well kept man who could appeal to the upper class as well as the middle and lower classes. Everyone was enthralled by his ideas to change the world and turn it into a utopia for everyone.
It was no surprise when he one.
His first act as president was to destroy the White House. Most were shocked at that and Congress was in rage as President Roland had done it without consulting them.
His next act was to eliminate competition.
Despite informing us that the atomic bomb was no longer going to be used to combat our enemies, the government had created a few, 'just in case.'
President Roland's Reign of Terror
In the disguise of a celebratory blimp, President Roland dropped Fat Lady onto the United Kingdom.
With the United Kingdom done, the other countries have declared war on United States and have started scrambling to attack.
China and North Korea become allies and take over South Korea. North Korea and South Korea merge to become Korea again. China and Korea gain control over Japan, turning it into a military base.
China and Korea attack Texas and inadvertently, Mexico. Refugees from Mexico are welcomed into the states by President Roland and become his most avid supporters.
Antarctica disappears.
President Roland drops Cherub on Russia forcing Russian refugees into China and European countries.
Presidant Roland seizes control of South America to use as food storage. He moves about twenty percent of the population to the United States and leaves the rest to 'cultivate' their native country.
United States citizens are living like sardines as the country is so overpopulated. People are beginning to fight each other and stage rebellions against President Roland.
At the 'request' for more space President Roland sends his elite militia into Canada and massacres the entire country.
The United States is still overpopulated but less crowded as fifty percent of the population have been sent to reside in Canada and Alaska.
The United States is renamed the United Republic of America, as it's territory has expanded to include the former Canada.
Presidant Roland plans to turn Africa into a military base.
China and Korea manage to create an atomic bomb.
China and Korea drop Red Star on Africa. The entire continent save for Madagascar is destroyed.
It is revealed that their is a spy in the United Republic of America
The Witch Hunt and Declaration of War
President Roland infiltrates his own country with spies to find the traitor.
Over ten thousand people have been accused and executed but the spy has yet to be found.
China and Korea poison South America's water supply killing 70% of South America's population as well as most crops. They abduct the remain population in that country leaving it uninhabited.
China and Korea's army becomes over six billion strong.
Presidant Roland scrambles to create a bigger army, and takes over Greenland, Madagascar and the Carribean countries.
A massive earthquake destroys Australia, starts a monster tsunami and destroys the Phillipines and Japan.
President Roland is secretly diagnosed with schizophrenia and told to resign. He refuses.
With China and Korea weakened, President Roland prepares to attack. He drafts every adult, able bodied or not into the army and delcares war on China and Korea. His speech to his massive army is simply, "We will win or die trying."
China and Korea's army as well as Presidant Roland and his army, destroy each other.
The children left behind in the United Republic of America start their new lives. They rename the country, Playground.
The chilren begin to form gangs and start to fight over control of the country.
Small sinkholes begin to appear. A child ventures inside one and discovers numerous tunnels. Where do they lead?
So your a child living in Playground. Will you become a nomad? Will you join a gang? Or will you try to figure out where the tunnels lead? Or maybe you'll end up doing your own thing!
(At least two Co-Gms needed! PM me!)
1) No godmodding
2) Children should be aged 5 to 17
3) No one should enter the sinkholes just yet.
4) This won't just be gang fights. I will introduce various problems as we move along.
5) Animals are present in this, in fact some poor hippie soul thinking they were doing the right thing, may have unlocked some zoo cages.
6) Puppy love can exist in here but good God please don't move past kissing. And any children below thirteen should not be doing ANYTHING remotely romantic.
7) Six characters max for everyone.
8) Teen pregnancy can exist but that's only for 16 to 17 year olds.
Third person past tense.
At least 8 sentences per post MINIMUM. But please if you're shooting for a large post, utilize indenting and proper paragraph spacing.
Each post should include the name of the character, as well as the location they are in.
MAP OF THE PLAYGROUND
(There are rinky dink ferries that move between Jungle Gym and the Seesaw Islands)
Named such because of the icy and rocky terrain that is difficult to traverse through unless you climb and crawl. Also because due to the massive earthquake sometime ago, most of the structures have fallen and serve as large obstacles. This region is controlled by the Wild Gang. Most of the gang's members are very fit and can traverse the region with no problem. They are usually former gymnasts and athletic children. The Jungle Gym has a lot of caribou and snow hares, however they also have quite a few polar bears.
Seesaw Islands
A very unsafe place to live because of the lack of stability of the islands. The islands are very eroded because of the constant nuclear bombings, but the gang who control the area have found a way to live there. The waters around the islands are abundant with fish and the Mermaid Gang is abundant with strong and fast swimmers as well as fishers and boaters.
Named because the Husky Gang resides in the cold and snowy mountains. These children can traverse through the snow and ice as if they're running on the sidewalk. They also utilize sled dogs to hunt as well as carry supplies. Slide isn't completely mountains and snow, but the nicer parts of it have been overrun by brown bears, polar bears and lynxes. Fortunately the mountainous part is filled with caribou and rabbits. Sometimes if they're lucky the Husky Gang can get down to the water and hunt seals that come close to land.
Swings is an urban area mostly covered by large skyscrapers. However it is next to impossible to travel on the ground as some zoo animals have escaped and frequently hunt down there. Fortunately the ingenious Gorilla Gang has found a wave to traverse the city via parkour and swinging on cables. The Gorilla Gang doesn't usually rely on hunting to eat, as their are warehouses that have nonperishable food in them, however they do need to watch out for the many predatory animals in the area, as well as the other gangs who often sneak into Swings when they're having supply shortages. The best thing about Swings is that they still have electricity.
The once diverse United Republic of America is now a sandy wasteland, with an abundance of sinkholes littering the area. The Scorpion Gang rules the area, however many nomad groups live there as well (they don't get along though). The inhabitants of Sandbox can travel across the sand relatively quickly and are adept at preparing for the many sandstorms that hit the area. Because most animals that live in the area are reptiles and snakes, the Scorpion Gang and the nomads have an immunity to most poisons and can eat them. However reptiles and snakes aren't very high in protein (or anything really) so the inhabitants of Sandbox often sneak into Swings or other area for food. There are buildings in Sandbox that the children reside in, but unlike in Swings, nothing works.
Use my character please and don't omit information.

Arina Leonidovna Katayeva lived an unfortunate life with her mother. Luckily, she moved to America long before the reign of Miles Roland. However, her father died shortly after he became persident. She lived with her mother from the age of 10 to 13, moving from place to place under orders from their new president. After getting sick, her mother killed herself and left Arina to figure out what to do herself. She eventually found the Gorilla Gang and has lived her life there for a year, up until the present.

Just sayin', but a nuclear weapon powerful enough to wipe out Africa would turn the entire rest of the world into a colossal ice desert. It would have more destructive force than the meteorite that wiped out the dinosaurs. In fact, it would have more destructive power than the 30,000 years that killed 95% of life at the end of the permian. Imagine packing all that power into the space of a few seconds :D
On another note, I don't suppose you can tell me how to make a Red Star can you?
White Fang is an albino - his hair is white, his skin is white, his eyes are crimson red. He dresses in grey and black outfits. His hair is messy and his eyes carry a vicious thirst for blood. He is almost always grinning in a sadistic way. (couldn't find a picture.)
White Fang (no one knows his real name) ║ 17 ║ Scorpion
Position: Leader
Sexual Orientation: Asexual
Ethnicity: British (Cus british accents are unbeatable for evil boss characters)
Personality: White Fang is a cruel and sadistic leader. He would easily classify as a sociopath, and rules his gang with an iron fist. He exudes an aura of fear and respect, and his throne has remained unchallenged ever since he took over. No one knows how he functions, simply that he does. He is highly intelligent and beats his opponents through battles of wit, primarily. Even so, the Scorpion gang willingly follow him. It seems that though he says he doesn't care about anything, that may not quite be true. His primary objective as a gang is strength, of which his army has plenty.
No one knows for sure, but his actions seem to suggest he is fond of technology, specifically the deconstruction and refining of it.
Other than pretty much everyone, White Fang has made a list of things he wants to eradicate from the world: [spoili]
It reads something like this:
"Liberals
Enemies (whomever they may be)
Actually I think that's pretty much it. Everything else I dislike can be put into those categories."
[/spoili]
Weapon of Choice: White Fang wields a variety of instruments. He is capable of using bows and to a small extend swords, though prefers his array of guns. Naturally though, as a scorpion, his favourite weapon is poison.
Outfit: White Fang's attire is usually grey or black and consists of t-shirts and loose jeans.
White Fang came to what is now the Scorpion lands several years prior to the rise of Roland the Great. He had followed the man for a while beforehand on social media and whatnot and was well aware of how he functioned, and predicted what he was going to do with surprising accuracy. After White Fang's arrival in America, he went about the task of riling up the citizens, and was responsible for starting many of the riots. He did so through his encoded online presence - "He Who Shall Dethrone the Emperor." Two weeks before the end of the invasion of China, he altered the messages of this account and began openly commanding the child populace of his dominion. Through this extremely organised structure, the Scorpion Domain was established in only 24 days, and fully operational at 112 days, much quicker than the other gangs. Over the course of those 112 days, he moved the majority of his citizens to the North-West, with the capital being Seattle - the perfect place to keep watch on the Gorilla Gang. Thanks to the lack of gun regulations in the former America, obtaining weaponry was no problem.
Once 78% of the Scorpion Gang had been gathered in and around Seattle, he established his new government system, which functions something like this:
Internal Functioning of the Scorpion Gang
Ranking System:
There is White Fang. White Fang is the supreme commander and what he says is law.
There is (second in command). (second in command) is second only to White Fang.
There are the Fourth Rank. Fourth Rank citizens are the high class elite of society and consist of important people - scientists, medics, engineers. Fourth Rank are also expected to instruct lower ranks as teachers. They are the most useful to White Fang and gain the best treatment and status.
There are the Third Rank. Third Rank citizens are members of the Military Police, who are responsible for enforcing order on behalf of the supreme commander.
There are the Second Rank. Second Rank citizens are members of the community who are capable of working but lack the skill of the Third Rank and the brains of the Fourth Rank. They typically work the mines and factories, as well as the general services. This is the most abundant class.
There are the First Rank. First Rank citizens are the dependents who cannot support themselves - the extremely young and the disabled. Most of these people get some amount of funding until they can become Second Ranks, but those who will never be able to achieve that, ie - people who lack both mental and physical capacity - have to fend for themselves if a second, third or fourth rank doesn't volunteer to care for them.
There is also a pseudo-fifth rank, a council of Third and Fourth ranks that advise White Fang.
Additionally, there is the Zeroth Rank, which are nomads and merchants who venture out into the deserts to retrieve items that could be useful. Zeroth Rank standard of living depends upon how useful they are. All Zeroth Rank bring their goods to Fourth Rank employees, who take money from the Relic Budget and pay the Zeroth what they think the items are worth.
Monetary System:
In Scorpion, the dollar system has been rearranged to allow for the changes made by the removal of adults. Metal coins now hold no value, and the majority of them have been melted down to create ammunition and other useful items. Paper money is now used as an arbitrary system. Base pay is set to the rank. Fourth Ranks are paid $5 per day, Third are paid $4, Second are paid $3 and Firsts who have the potential to become seconds are given $2. On top of this system is a bonus system - should you be deemed to excel in your field, a bonus of up to $4 per day may be granted. To put that into proportion - $1 per day is enough to buy the bare minimum amount of food and water necessary to survive, and a days-worth of filling meals costs around $2. The amount of food in these packages varies, and will go up during periods of good hunting and go down during periods of low hunting. Other items vary in price, and thanks to many items costing less than $1, there is also an unofficial favour system in employment. That is, you may pay in favours. For example, Person One wants to buy Item X from Person Two. Item X costs less than $1. Person Two says "Ok, you can have Item X, but in exchange, next time you go to the market, can you pick up an Item Z for me?" A major role of the Third Ranks is to make sure this favour system doesn't get out of hand.
Education System:
Education is compulsory on basic skills necessary to be a Second Rank, and these skills are taught in mandatory schools. During this program, which usually lasts for the first 2 years of entering the community (If you are born into it, it will last for 2 years after you turn 10), the learner will also be assessed on ability to become a Third or Fourth rank. If the ability is found, they will be given extra compulsory education that follows one of those paths.
Family: Has a 14 year old younger sister, who he currently assumes to be dead.
Other: Hope you don't mind me giving a system to Scorpion. Saves me explaining it IC.
And this is why I'm not a scientist. Also why this is in modern fantasy.
Karakui said:
I don't mind that you created your own system, however whenever somebody wants to join Scorpion, it's up to you to explain it.
I would also prefer you to choose one weapon of choice to avoid the special snowflake bad-ass trope.
Also please make White Fang a bit more detailed, he seems to be bordering the 'I'm a sociopath, so there.' line and he also seems a bit overpowered with the defeating opponents through wit. I need to make sure that you are aware that he will not be winning all of the fights he initiates or takes part in. Add some information about his sister maybe?
Eh, I can't really be bothered thinking up any of that, so I'll leave now.

Ashton Tyler Blake (Ash) ║ 16 ║ Mermaid Gang
"I'm more of a follower than a leader."
. Member .
"I'm a boy... thanks for asking."
. Male .
Sexual Orientation:
"I've honestly never pictured myself with another guy."
. Heterosexual .
"White?"
. Caucasian .
"A lot of people tell me I'm awkward."
. Ashton has always been antisocial. He'd much rather sit at home by himself than go to a party. It's not that he doesn't like people, it's more that he becomes extremely awkward in social interactions, and so he tries to avoid them whenever possible. He is very optimistic, able to see both the good and the beauty in nearly everything. He can also be naive and too trusting, believing that everyone is a good person until proven otherwise. Ashton is very detail orientated, but he is also very disorganized. Often times you can't even see the floor in his bedroom- but he still knows exactly where everything is. He's very cheerful, and while he only has a few friends he is extremely loyal to them. Ashton is selfless, often valuing other people more than himself. That being said, he does not ave low self-esteem. He's actually very comfortable with who he is, recognizing his short comings and taking pride it his strengths. Ashton is lighthearted, and sadly clueless. Someone could probably tell them exactly what they think about him and he still wouldn't be sure whether they liked him or not. He is naturally generous, and is often a pushover .
"I've got a sweet tooth."
. Beanies, Cookies, Carrot Cake, Monkeys, Sweet Foods, Concerts, Pasta, Jackets, hats and Traditions. .
"Blood... it should stay in the body."
. Tattoos, Blood, Hiking, Mustard, Fashion, Medicine, Riddles, Wrestling, Mustard, Public speaking, Small Talk, Arguing and Leather. .
Weapon of Choice:
"I'm not much of a fighter..."
. Fishing Pole and Harpoon .
Outfit:
"I guess I dress like how I used to, but with a fisherman's vest."
. Fishing vest, plain or plaid shirts, usually jeans, black boots. .
"I don't like to think about the past."
. Being an only child is lonely for most, but Ashton never minded much. It meant that his parents could be involved in his life, and that he got more support from them than he could ever need. At a young age it was discovered that Ashton was musically talented. He could sing well, which led to his childhood dream of being a 'rock star!' For is eighth birthday he received a guitar from his parents. Because they lived in a 2-bedroom apartment, and also because their neighbors happened to work nights, Ashton often had to leave the house to practice the guitar. He usually went to the park, bringing his 'book-for-beginners' with him. It was there that he taught himself how to play, and by age ten he was interested in learning how to play more instruments.
The transition from middle school to high school was a drastic one for Ashton. As if beginning puberty wasn't enough for poor little Ash, his father was offered a job on the other side of the country. Which meant that Ashton was now in a completely unfamiliar setting, with not a single persons that he knew. On the bright side, the family now lived in an actual house, so he could practice his instruments at home. His mother encouraged him to join a club at school, and after some consideration Ashton opted for marching band. Despite the bad stereotypes portrayed in the media for band geeks, Ashton actually thoroughly enjoyed being one. This made his high school years much more bearable, as he made countless friends through the after school activity.
He was devastated when both of his parents were drafted for combat, and even more so when they never returned. He joined the Mermaid Clan, mostly because he was a stronger fisher and swimmer than a hunter or vine swinger. He often thinks of his parents while he fishes, and misses them dearly. It's unlikely that he will ever get over the loss of them.

Ethan Zachariah Stone ║ 17 ║ Wild Gang
"Obviously I'm in charge."
. Leader .
"Do girls usually grow beards?"
"Straight, not the I'm homophobic. You do you."
"That's like race, right?"
"Depends on who you ask."
. Ethan is very carefree, feeling that life should be lived to the fullest. He does not want to miss out on a single thing life has to offer, good or bad. He is extremely confident in who he is, which at times can make him seem very self-centered. He is stubborn, so it is unlikely that he will ever change his mind once it is set. He can also be impulsive and reckless, often an bad combination. This is especially true when he is in a bad mood, because then his actions reflect his emotions. Ethan is a pampered and high-maintenance young man, and he is fully aware of it. He expects the best, and nothing but the best. He has a natural charm about him, and has a bountiful amount of tact. Thanks to his tactful nature he is often seemed as someone who can be trusted, and this also helps to make him persuasive. While he is fairly smug, he is also a very dedicated and driven person. Once he starts something he will see it through to the end, even if he knows it will end badly for him. He is savvy and sophisticated, giving him a very professional appearance to those who do not know him personally. Ethan is very critical, which can sometimes make him a downer, but he is also very steady and faithful. Those who he is close to know that they can always come to him whenever they need something- whether it be his actual help or just a shoulder to lean on. Lastly, Ethan knows he has to work for the things he wants, and is not afraid to go to great lengths to achieve his goals .

"A king has to look good, doesn't he?"
. Most of his stuff has camouflage. Heavy jackets, t-shirts, camo or black pants, brown boots, black gloves. .
"I don't see why this is any of your business."
. Ethan spent a lot of time trying to figure out who he was. He was an athlete for a few years, and then a dancer, and then an artist, and then a musician. His parents often had trouble keeping up with his constant interest changes, and it didn't help that this lasted for several years. It wasn't until he was fourteen that he tried out for a school musical and discovered his true passion: Acting. This didn't come as a surprise to anyone around him, as he had always been a great liar. They were just happy he had settled on one thing. Coincidentally, his several interested switched throughout the year made it easy for him to portray many characters accurately.
He joined a local acting club, playing the lead for several of the shows they put on. Ethan gradually became a very confident person, sometimes overpoweringly so. Because his parent's were worried that he would become selfish and a jerk they forced him to begin doing community service on the weekends. At first he hated it, but he soon grew to love helping out the less fortunate and began to do it on his own. However, he kept this a secret from everyone but his family. Ethan worried that if everyone knew he willingly helped out the needy they would try to take advantage of him.
Juggling acting, school, work and community service proved to be extremely difficult. Ethan got through it all by taking on different personalities while dong different things- it helped him pretend that the responsibilities of his other persona's were not entirely his own. This, of course, led to an extreme identity crisis in his late teenage years. He had no idea who he really was anymore, no idea who he wanted to be. After deciding that picking one person to be was too hard, Ethan called up his closest friend, Chloe, asking for help. He was rather drunk, and so what he was saying didn't make any sense. Worried, she called Ethan's parents, and the very next day they began looking for a therapist. They soon found one and he's been taking therapy ever since.
That is, until the most recent tragedies. Ethan's father was drafted first, and when his mother received her draft she decided to kill herself instead. This took a horrible toll on Ethan, of course, and he always has her suicide letter to him on him, no matter what. Once 'Playground' was formed he quickly became a leader of a small group in Jungle Gym. As more people joined his group he was challenged for his role as leader several times, but he always came out victorious. Now, he is the leader of the Wild Gang, and hardly anyone dares to challenge him anymore .

Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico
Jose-Luis Narvaez
Was born in Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila Mexico.
I never said that I wanted to be an actor when I was a kid. I didn't know. I thought I was going to be a singer and musician. That's what I had been doing, for a huge part of my life.


The Academy Awards of 2016 served up plenty of memorable moments, but none more surprising than host Chris Rock goading attendees into lining up behind a good cause. "I want you to reach into your millionaire pockets and buy some of my daughters' Girl Scout cookies," he told the audience.
And they did—to the tune of $65,243, with Kate Winslet, Mindy Kaling and even Vice President Joe Biden ponying up. It was not only great publicity for the Girl Scouts (the greater Los Angeles chapter said it was "thrilled" about the shoutout), but it underscored America's long relationship with those famous cookies.
The tradition of the Scouts selling cookies door-to-door began in 1917 as a way to raise money to finance troop activities. In the early years, Scout members actually baked their own cookies. In 1936, they discovered it was more efficient to contract with commercial bakeries. (ABC Bakers in Richmond, Va., which signed on with the Scouts in 1937, is still an official supplier.) Over the years, varieties have come and gone, but with the exception of a few years during World War II—when the rationing of ingredients forced the Scouts to sell calendars and when the girls turned their attention to collecting cans for the war effort—cookies have been associated with the Scouts.
While the primary purpose of the cookies is to raise money, a close second is helping girls to grow up. "Selling cookies is a great opportunity for young girls to learn goal setting, money management and people skills," said Katherine Wintsch, CEO of The Mom Complex.
"Each purchase serves as an opportunity to help a young girl reach her fullest potential," adds Girl Scouts CEO Anna Maria Chávez. "The cookie program empowers girls to develop leadership skills that will benefit them for the rest of their lives."
And yet, cookie time brings a sense of unease for many a Girl Scout parent. "I'm giving it to you straight, ladies," explained writer Jacqueline Burt Cote in 2012. "Just in case this is your daughter's first year dealing Do-si-dos. Because nobody's going to come right out and tell you unloading those biscuits is your job … but it is."
Who hasn't dealt with that coworker slinging Thin Mints for his daughter's troop? Was Chris Rock not doing this very thing?
Health advocates gripe, and right-wing groups have called for boycotts over the Scouts' support of LGBT issues. And yet, 194 million boxes were sold last year.
Forty-six percent of us buy the cookies because we love 'em, according to one survey, while just 14 percent do it out of a sense of obligation. As Chávez put it: "Whether it be nostalgia, their delicious taste or a cookie buyer's charitable nature, Girl Scout cookies have stood the test of time."


As any parochial Victorian will say, and many other Australians reluctantly agree, wines produced in Victoria are among the finest in the country and are of equal quality, flavor and aroma to many high profile wines produced interstate.
Wines have been produced on the Bellarine area since 1879 with a climate and soil ensuring the finest quality grapes are produced to satisfy any palate. It is one of the few regions where wineries are family owned and operated, producing premium, estate grown, bottled wine.
Some Bellarine wineries have spectacular ocean views, and many offer fine dining to their visitors as they sample their way through the wine list.
The Bellarine wineries make up part of the greater Geelong Wine Route, a well signposted path to help you imbibe in the local delights.

The Marriage of Figaro: a production sure to win converts to opera
Jasmine Regan Feldman reviews TCMS's production of The Marriage of Figaro
The Marriage of Figaro production team
by Jasmine Regan Feldman
Thursday November 4 2021, 9:30pm
The ambient lighting and divine setting of Trinity College Chapel was a welcome place to settle in last Saturday night for Mozart's three and a half hour operatic masterpiece, Le Nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro). The college chapel was the ideal stage for Figaro as the intimate space and echoing acoustics created the heavenly experience put on by the Trinity College Music Society. One of Mozart's better-known operas, the story centres on fiancés Figaro (Tom Butler) and Susanna (Hannah Dienes-Williams), whose plans for marriage are continually foiled by the drama in the courts of Seville. After many a mix-up and spine-tingling aria, they are eventually married in one of the most amazing opera finales. Despite the grandiose precedence of Figaro, thought to be one of the best and most widely performed operas of all time, TCMS's production met and exceeded every mark.
"A piece true to its eighteenth-century origins"
With seven directors, one might have expected a spoiled broth; however, Figaro was far from it, and the directorship was able to create a rich, steamy stew of an opera. The creative vision was cohesive and well-executed, from the simple yet effective sets to beautiful and well-thought-through costumes. Talented director Louisa Stuart-Smith, who also played Cherubino, wished to create a piece true to its eighteenth-century origins. The sets were modest but evoked the grandeur of the Seville courts without distracting or clashing with the Trinity chapel. While the costumes clearly had a period flair, the focus was on representing character through fabric and hair, helping the audience connect to and understand the role of each individual in the story.
Once the audience had settled, the orchestra launched into the famous overture, much to everyone's delight. Most will not admit it, but everyone's favourite part of an opera is turning to the person beside you and whispering, "Oh, I know this one!" Whether or not one had recognised the overture, the audience was still stunned by the sumptuous orchestra. A sweeping thirty-one piece orchestra accompanied the production of Figaro, filling the chapel with Mozart's brilliant pieces. Musical director Max Todes brought the orchestra to life, ensuring his masterpiece as conductor.
For all those who fear a lengthy opera, concerned they will spend three hours without a clue as to what is happening, TCMS's production successfully solved this issue! Live translations of the Italian accompanied the entire performance so that the audience could keep up with each jab and joke, not only making the opera more accessible, but approachable for a wider group. It was great to understand the conversations happening on stage, but even with my limited knowledge of Italian, I doubt that Figaro remarked that Antonio (Jack Harris) was "Absolutely trollied".
Cabaret, Redmayne and the problem of casting
Highlights of the production must include the sextet in Act III, orchestrated by Assistant Director Benji de Almeida Newton. The sextet reveals that the woman who has been attempting to break up Figaro and Susanna's betrothal, Marcellina (Sumei Bao-Smith), to marry him herself, is actually Figaro's mother. They are joined by Basilio (James Gant), who is revealed to be his father, and the Count (Tom Unwin) and Countess (Katherine Gregory) in a superbly arranged sextet in their confusion and joy. Their voices washed together effortlessly, reverberating around the chapel, and was a triumph for the singers and the director.
Although I have avoided admitting it thus far, I must admit to being a heathen that did not previously appreciate opera. However, I enjoyed TCMS's Le Nozze di Figaro production so much that I feel I have been converted. I was stunned by an 'amateur' production's professional quality that surpassed all my expectations – beyond professional and worthy of the Royal Opera House. Despite my tentativeness at sitting through a three and a half hour long opera, I enjoyed every moment and look forward to future operatic productions by this team. The music, of course, was the absolute highlight – I'm sure this Mozart fellow will go far.

Full Fact - The UK's independent factchecking charity
How often does the EU overrule British ministers?
Published: 9th May 2014
"on 55 occasions British Ministers have said they will object to an EU directive, and on 55 occasions they have been over-ruled."
Nigel Farage, BBC Question Time, 8 May 2014
Ahead of the EU parliament elections taking place later this month, Nigel Farage pointed yesterday to the lack of influence Britain enjoys in the corridors of Brussels.
His figures come from analysis by campaign group Business for Britain on voting at the EU Council. While Nigel Farage's claim reflects their research, there's only so much it can tell us about the UK's success at votes: not all member states will vote in the same way as the position they've taken in informal discussions, and some decisions effectively take place elsewhere.
55 measures opposed by the UK; 55 defeats
Business for Britain recently analysed votes which took place at the Council of the EU since 1996. The Council is where national ministers from each EU country meet to decide on laws. The decisions they take must be unanimous in some cases (for instance foreign and security policy) or require a simple or qualified majority in others.
Business for Britain identified and listed - using publicly available sources and Freedom of Information Requests - 55 occasions in which the UK voted 'no' to a measure put before the Council and when the measure passed anyway because the UK was outvoted.
UK says no more often
Studies elsewhere have found that, since 2009, the UK is the most rebellious member state at the Council, although it still voted 'yes' 91% of the time. Similarly, from 1995 to 2010 the UK was the second most common 'no' voter behind Germany.
The House of Commons Library has discussed separately the evidence surrounding the UK's voting record and how it differs to other member states.
But votes don't tell the whole story
As Business for Britain concedes in its own report: "national governments usually try and stop proposals that they don't like from ever reaching the Council of the European Union".
In fact, some research has suggested that around 70% of decisions are actually taken in practice before they reach a council vote. The Permanent Representatives Committee (COREPER), for instance, is made up of civil servants from member states who take part in the decision-making process without formally voting.
Various commentators have argued that this has an effect on how member states behave. Some may, for instance, oppose a policy informally but vote in favour with the majority so as not to appear isolated. And others may never go to a vote because of significant opposition early on.
These 'informal' maneuverings obviously aren't as measurable as formal votes, so there are limits to what research can tell us about the UK's 'influence' at the EU Council.
With that in mind, simply pointing to 55 occasions in which the UK has been overruled by the rest of the Council doesn't necessarily reflect that the UK has no influence on the policies that come out. We should also be asking about the policies that don't ever make it to a vote.
Politicians shouldn't get away with misleading us—can you help?

Loyola's Wendy Bolger honored among Women to Watch
August 17, 2022 | By Andrew Aldrich
Wendy Bolger, founding director of Loyola University Maryland's Simon Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship, was named among the Baltimore Business Journal's 2022 Women to Watch, a "list of women leaders poised to make headlines in the coming years," according to the journal.
The Baltimore Business Journal recognized honorees as "women leaders who have excelled in their industry by showing innovation, perseverance and great success."
Bolger helped establish Loyola's Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship in 2018, which nurtures student innovators through education, hands-on experiences, and creative experimentation. The center works to benefit Baltimore through support of wealth and job creation driven by underrepresented women entrepreneurs and innovators of color.
As director, Bolger has grown the center to include the Baltipreneurs Accelerator, a cohort-based venture development program that supports and mentors entrepreneurs. She plans to continue Loyola's commitment to this work thanks to a $3-million endowed gift from Nick Simon, MBA '84, and Susie Simon, M.Ed. '81.
Prior to joining Loyola, Bolger's 20-year career spanned projects in the public and private sectors, including experience as an entrepreneur starting her own firm, managing technology product development, and launching new initiatives and teams for nonprofit organizations. In 2020, Bolger was named to Technical.ly Baltimore's inaugural RealLIST Connectors roundup of those building Baltimore's tech, entrepreneurship, and innovation community by linking others with the goals of growth and inclusivity.
Previously, Bolger directed innovation strategy for Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign, founded a management consulting firm, and held director positions with global humanitarian organization Mercy Corps. She was a senior product marketing engineer at Intel, where she oversaw the development of a digital camera line, and a marketing fellow at Save the Children, where she started youth-led initiative YouthNoise. In Fall 2021, Bolger served in a key leadership role as Loyola and University of Baltimore hosted the Global Consortium of Entrepreneurship Centers Conference in Baltimore.
Bolger holds an MBA from the University of Virginia Darden Graduate School of Business and a Bachelor of Arts from Smith College in Massachusetts.

Open: Daily 5pm-11pm. Closed on the first and 16th of each month.
Address: Bypass Road, Phuket City.
Price range: Prices are reasonable, making allowances for Japanese being a bit more expensive. Salmon maki (120 baht) Buta bacon (130 baht). karubi kukppa (120 baht) A large Singha beer is priced at 110 baht. Heineken 130 baht.
We've always wanted to get into a taxi and say: ''Follow that restaurant.'' Yakiniku is worth pursuing. The restaurant's present home on the bypass road, underneath what's possibly the biggest dining sign on the island, is the eatery's third leap around Phuket City in almost as many years. If there's one indication that Phuket City is definitely a city now, it's the proliferation of restaurants and other businesses in stretches of the ''suburbs'' that were once drive-by desert. The fans of Yakiniku will follow it to the new location, just as they have with previous moves, because it's still among the top-value Japanese spots on Phuket. There's a no-nonsense feel about the place. You can sit at a cubicle and charl away to your heart's content, although the round grillers appear to compromise leg room comfortable a little when compared to the rectangular ones they replaced. Having cooked the food yourself, it's impossible to blame the chef for the way it tastes. And raw fish? No complaints. Conversation always seems to come easy over hot coals, especially when the wasabi hits the sinuses. The plan is to restore ramen and lunch as soon as life becomes a bit more settled. The proprietor thinks this may be the last move for a while, but you never know.
How to find it: In a row of shophouses on the left-hand side of the bypass road, as you head towards Phuket City, about two kilometres from Tesco Lotus.
Parking: Room at the entrance.
What's your beef? If you'd prefer to have yours sizzling on a grill rather than roaming the great Australian outback, then pick up your chopsticks and turn over your juicy steak slice on the tabletop bbq.

Hedgeye - Is Money Supply Inflationary? You Bet Your Madoff!
Is Money Supply Inflationary? You Bet Your Madoff!
The Federal Reserve reported their Money Stock Measures yesterday and November showed a y-o-y increase of M2 money supply of 7.6%, which is the highest y-o-y growth rate in the last 12 months and, as seen on the chart below, is on an accelerating trajectory. Undoubtedly, money supply only accelerated in December as the Federal Reserve became even more focused on deflationary pressures and the need to stimulate growth.
Bernanke's remarks lead us to believe that the next policy step is to "print" money. More money ultimately results in the declining value of money, which is always inflationary.
We have been a bit of a lone voice beating the "re-flation" drum in the past few weeks, but this report from the Fed seems to suggest, especially if the money supply continues to accelerate, that "reflation" is not a matter of if, but when.
Stock markets are certainly "re-flating" today.

Radiation from Japan not damaging nation's food supply
by Pennsylvania State University
Radioactive material gets into milk when it drops from the atmosphere onto grasses, which are then eaten by cows.
Radiation spewing from Japan's severely damaged nuclear facilities following the recent earthquake and tsunami is not endangering the United States' food supply, according to a food-safety expert in Penn State's College of Agricultural sciences.
Based upon the government reports, there is currently no risk to our country's food supply, said Martin Bucknavage, extension food-safety specialist. This includes fallout here in the United States from radiation released into the atmosphere in Japan and foods imported from areas with the potential for higher exposure.
"The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has detected miniscule amounts of radiation in milk that can be attributed to the Japanese disaster, but these were so small that they pose no threat to human health," he said. "The levels found were 5,000 times lower than the level set by the Food and Drug Administration as posing a risk.
"Considering that -- and the fact that the radiation has a half-life of eight days -- there are currently no reasons to avoid drinking milk."
Radioactive material gets into milk when it drops from the atmosphere onto grasses, which are then eaten by cows, Bucknavage explained. In response to the nuclear disaster in Japan, the EPA and FDA have increased the level of monitoring of food, drinking water and rainwater.
"There have been a number of monitoring stations throughout the United State that have detected some minute levels of radiation, but this was expected," he said. "The levels seen must be put in perspective.
"According to the EPA, drinking water samples from two western locations -- Boise, Idaho, and Richland, Wash. -- showed trace amounts of iodine-131 that were approximately 0.2 picocuries per liter in each case," Bucknavage added.
"Even an infant would have to drink almost 7,000 liters of this water to receive a radiation dose equivalent to a day's worth of the natural background radiation exposure we experience continuously from natural sources of radioactivity in our environment."
The FDA has reported that no food is being exported from the affected area, and the agency is monitoring imported products from other areas of Japan. There has not been any radiation detected so far, Bucknavage noted.
The United States imports very little food from Japan, anyway, he pointed out. "Japan accounts for only about 4 percent of the food imported into the U.S."
"There have been specific concerns about seafood with higher levels of radioactive materials making its way into the United States," he said. "So in addition to blocking seafood from the affected areas, the FDA has increased its monitoring of all seafood coming into the United States. As of April 19, the FDA had not detected radionuclides from the reactors in any of the seafood samples tested."

Peter Fimrite Jan. 15, 2016 Updated: Jan. 23, 2016 7:59 p.m.
The sudden resignation of the most adamant defender of hunting and fishing on the California Fish and Game Commission could put the finishing touches on a sweeping philosophical shift in the way the state views wildlife, sets rules for fishing and controls predators like mountain lions and wolves.
Commissioner Jim Kellogg retired in late December in frustration over what he termed a lack of consideration for the sportsmen and women he represents. The resignation — combined with the unrelated recent departures of commission President Jack Baylis and Sonke Mastrup, the commission's executive director — sets the stage for Gov. Jerry Brown to appoint conservationists to the increasingly pivotal state board.
Such a move may, observers say, complete the transformation of the commission from an organization that advocates for fishing and hunting to one that safeguards endangered species, preserves habitat and protects California's top predators from slaughter.
But it won't happen without a fight. While environmentalists say they are finally getting a fair shake in the high-stakes political game of wildlife management, advocates for outdoor sports fear that they have lost their voice and that the role they have played in the protection of species is being forgotten.
The five-member commission, whose job is to recommend policies to the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, has been wading through divisive issues that could profoundly impact the future of the state, including what to do about diminishing salmon populations, sick sea lions and disappearing sea otters.
How California responds to growing numbers of wolves, coyotes and mountain lions is a central battle. The question is whether the predators should be tolerated or encouraged — or driven away by guard dogs or gunned down when they get too close to people or livestock.
Historically, the commission has been made up almost entirely of hunters and fishermen, but that focus has changed in the past several years.
Brown, who is responsible for appointments on the commission, did not say when he would fill the vacancies.
Former California Fish and Game Commission President Daniel Richards.
Fish and Game's transition ratcheted up over the past few years with the departures of two commissioners: Michael Sutton, an avid hunter and fisherman who nevertheless disapproved of trophy hunting and supported marine protections, and Daniel Richards, who was famously photographed with a dead mountain lion he had killed in Idaho.
Richard Rogers, who was not considered a friend of the outdoor sporting community, also left the commission last year.
The replacements for Sutton and Rogers — Anthony Williams, a 47-year-old lawyer and Democratic consultant from Huntington Beach who is the first African American in the commission's 145-year history, and Eric Sklar, 52, of St. Helena — are viewed as more on the conservation side of the ledger.
But it was the resignation of Kellogg, who often teamed up with Sutton and Richards, that was viewed by many as the end of the line for the hunting and fishing coalition on the commission.
"I'm leaving pretty much out of frustration," Kellogg said in an interview. He had been on the board for 14 years when he retired Dec. 31, the longest-serving member of the commission.
The changes on the commission are an illustration of a statewide phenomenon. Californians, more than ever, regard wildlife, including apex predators, as a valuable part of the ecosystem instead of as food or vermin.
Chuck Bonham, the director of the Department of Fish and Wildlife, says he is committed to embracing science-based wildlife and ecosystem management while preserving the history and traditions associated with hunting and fishing.
California Department of Fish and Wildlife Wardens Clint Garrett and Ryan McCoy collected a Drake Mallard Duck from a hunter for inspection during daily patrols on the California Delta near Brentwood, Calif. on Sat. January 9, 2016.
The bill passed in 2013 despite opposition from hunters, who saw it as a signal that game animals would soon be made off-limits. The commission itself, however, maintained the "Fish and Game" moniker despite lobbying by environmental groups to change the names of both the commission and the department it serves.
The name change was part of a slew of legislation requiring, among other things, that the department take into account ecosystem balance and sound science when managing wildlife. To conservationists, it represented a rejection of an archaic view that wildlife is meant to be shot or speared and mounted on a wall.
Many farmers, ranchers and rural residents, however, believe the state is turning away from them as they struggle to hold on to their heritage.
In fact, Gaines has argued, hunting and fishing tags and license fees contribute $80 million to $100 million a year to the Department of Fish and Wildlife — roughly a quarter of the annual budget. He said 60 percent of the interior wetlands of California are privately owned, preserved and managed for duck hunting, and that the national wildlife refuge system is overwhelmingly funded by hunters.
At the same time, noted Gaines, recent studies have shown that only 10 percent of Californians actively support hunting. The number of state residents who hunt and fish has been declining for decades, according to researchers.
Hunting groups believe animal rights advocates want to outlaw the pastime entirely. They point to recent laws banning bobcat trapping, the use of lead bullets, coyote killing contests and the hounding of bears and bobcats.
The establishment of vast marine protected areas along the coast and the recent release of a draft management plan for carefully handling wolves, which are expected to multiply in California after a long absence, served as further proof to some ranchers and sportsmen that they are playing second fiddle to what they see as tree-hugging, save-the-whales city slickers.
Far from wanting to ban hunting and fishing, Fearing said she just wants state policymakers to listen to all sides. Until recently, she said, anyone who introduced science that contradicted rural ranching and pro-hunting doctrine was dismissed.
Geoff Shester, the California program director for the marine advocacy group Oceana, said he hopes the Fish and Game Commission will be guided by a responsibility to protect rather than destroy in the future.


Allows for external storage providers.
Is used primarily in templating, templates and models. It provides read-only access to assets managed in the Assets app.
Generic, in the sense that it is not coupled to the JCR.
Capable of connecting to external asset providers and other systems.
It is now possible to plug in external asset providers like Flickr, YouTube and file systems.
The diagram provides an overview of how the main interfaces and classes of the DAM API relate.
AssetProvider: Exposes Folders and Assets from a particular source. Specifics of the storage of these items are left to implementations. While most provider implementations only use the ItemKey.assetId field of keys passed to the various get methods, the entire key object is passed for consistency and flexibility. This makes it possible to implement, for example, delegating and aggregating providers.
PathAwareAssetProvider: Exposes specific operations for AssetProviders that are aware of paths, for example JCR, CMIS, File system etc. Not all providers need or want to implement these features. The term "path" here should be taken "with a pinch of salt". It could, for example, be a single name or a "relative" path if the provider serves assets from a subset of its underlying data source.
AssetRenderer: Provides AssetRenditions by bridging an asset's data and some type of converter. AssetRenderers can be provided by AssetProviders if the AssetProvider itself (or the underlying system) is capable of managing the conversion/translation, or via a "global" registry. AssetProviderRegistry.getRendererFor(info.magnolia.dam.api.Asset, com.google.common.net.MediaType) provides the entry point. It looks up in provider, then in its own registry, and bridges to other possible conversion mechanisms that are independent of Magnolia DAM.
Asset: An Asset is a digital resource with associated metadata.
Folder: A Folder represents a structural item holding Assets. Depending on the provider, this can be directly mapped to the concept of folders/directories (JCR, FileSystems etc.), and for other types it may map to the concept of albums, playlists, sets, etc.
Item: Defines a common interface for Asset and Folder.
AssetQuery: Represents a query to an AssetProvider. Use new AssetQuery.Builder()...build() to construct instances.
AssetRendition: An AssetRendition is a "view" on a asset for a specific MediaType. It can be a simple resize of an image, or a document conversion.
AssetProviderCapability : Clients can ask a provider if they support a certain feature before attempting to use it. Typically, this would enable/disable certain UI features. In some cases, this will also indicate that client code can cast to a specific interface. (e.g. PathAwareAssetProvider for hierarchical). If support for write operations is added, this enum will be extended with new capabilities.
AbstractAssetProvider: Convenient abstract base class for implementations. Enables configuration of MediaTypes that the implemented AssetProvider provides.
AbstractItem : Common superclass for any dam Item.
Builder : A builder for AssetQuery that provides a fluent API.
ItemKey : A composite key. In the DAM every Asset and Folder is identified by its provider's ID and its provider-specific ID (i.e the ID with which the provider can uniquely identify the asset).
AssetMetadata: A common interface for asset metadata. Different types of metadata can be exposed through Asset by extending this interface. The AssetProvider should implement support for those. Specific metadata interfaces should expose methods with explicit names and return types, and ideally provide property descriptions in the Javadocs. Metadata is retrieved through an Asset by passing the specific type of metadata, i.e, a class object that extends this interface.
DublinCore: A collection of Dublin Core metadata names. Extends AssetMetadata. Methods: getContributor,getCoverage, getCreated, getCreator, getDate, getDescription, getFormat, getIdentifier, getLanguage, getModified, getPublisher, getRelation, getRights, getSource, getSubject, getTitle, getType.
MagnoliaAssetMetadata: Defines Magnolia-specific metadata. Extends AssetMetadata. Methods: getHeight, getWidth.
DAM 2.0 introduces the com.google.common.net.MediaType class included in the Google Guava library.
Here's the class description from the Guava Javadoc.
Represents an Internet Media Type (also known as a MIME Type or Content Type). This class also supports the concept of media ranges defined by HTTP/1.1. As such, the * character is treated as a wildcard and is used to represent any acceptable type or subtype value. A media type may not have wildcard type with a declared subtype. The * character has no special meaning as part of a parameter. All values for type, subtype, parameter attributes or parameter values must be valid according to RFCs 2045 and 2046.
All portions of the media type that are case-insensitive (type, subtype, parameter attributes) are normalized to lowercase. The value of the charset parameter is normalized to lowercase, but all others are left as-is.
Note that this specifically does not represent the value of the MIME Content-Type header and as such has no support for header-specific considerations such as line folding and comments.
For media types that take a charset the predefined constants default to UTF-8 and have a "_UTF_8" suffix. To get a version without a character set, use withoutParameters().
ItemKey is a specific type (composed of provider id and asset id) rather than a "magic string". It is passed to most methods, rather than the assetID string. This allows for aggregation/delegation in specialized providers.
AssetProviders are registered by configuration in the DAM Core module.
Item is the main parent definition of a Folder and an Asset.
Folder is the abstract representation of a folder that contains Asset.
To some extent, Items, Folders and Assets mimic the JCR API, but there are subtle differences that are highlighted in the Javadocs.
Items, Folders and Assets are meant to be implemented "lazily". Implementations will typically keep a reference to their provider. For example, the JCR implementation simply keeps a reference to the corresponding Node instance, and delegates to it "on demand".
An AssetRendition is a transformation of an Asset. The AssetRenderer provides AssetRenditions by bridging an Asset's data and some type of converter.
AssetRenderer can be provided by AssetProvider when the conversion/translation can be managed by the AssetProvider itself (or its underlying system), or via a "global" registry.
AssetProviderRegistry.getRendererFor(Asset asset,MediaType mediaType) , provides the entry point. It looks up in the provider then in its own registry, and bridges to other possible conversion mechanisms that are independent of the Magnolia DAM.
AssetRenderers are registered by configuration in the DAM Core module.
The DAM JCR API classes reside in the DAM JCR module and implement the DAM API for JCR assets that are stored in the dam workspace and accessible in the Assets app <link>.
JcrAssetProvider: AssetProvider that delivers assets for the dam workspace. Extends AbstractAssetProvider and implements PathAwareAssetProvider.
AbstractJcrItem: JCR implementation of an Item. Extends AbstractItem<JcrAssetProvider>.
JcrAsset: JCR implementation of the Asset definition. Extends AbstractJcrItem.
JcrFolder: JCR implementation of the Folder definition. Extends AbstractJcrItem.
AssetNodeTypes: Constants and convenience methods for asset node types.
Asset: Represents the node type mgnl:asset. Fields: caption, comment, copyright, description, language, master, name, provider_type, subject, title, type.
AssetResource: Represent the resource node bound to an Asset. Fields: data, extension, filename, height, mimetype, name, ressource_name, size, width.
DamConstants: Defines commonly used constants for the DAM.JCR module. Fields: default_jcr_provider_id, workspace.
* JcrAsset specific implementation that lets you access a property value linked to an asset node.
* This requires an open session.
* @return property value Object if the property exists or null otherwise.
JcrDublinCore: JCR implementation of DublinCore.
Fields: dc_contributor, dc_coverage, dc_creator, dc_publisher, dc_relation, dc_source, dc_subject, dc_type.
Methods: getContributor, getCoverage, getCreated, getCreator, getDate, getDescription, getFormat, getIdentifier, getLanguage, getModified , getPublisher, getRelation, getRights, getSource, getSubject, getTitle, getType.
JcrMagnoliaAssetMetadata: Base JCR implementation of the MagnoliaAssetMetadata definition.
As a template developer, also have a look at damfn, a set of methods which can be used in freemarker scripts to easy access assets, asset renditions, and so on.

MH370 pilot was 'lonely and sad' and may have 'crashed plane' in murder-suicide
Pilot Zaharie Ahmad Shah 'may have been clinically depressed'

Malaysia Airlines MH370
The pilot of Malaysia Airlines flight MH370 may have been clinically depressed, leading him to starve the passengers of oxygen and then crash into the sea in a murder-suicide, according to a new account.
MH370 was on its way from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing on March 8, 2014, with 239 people on board, when it vanished and became one of the world's greatest aviation mysteries.
Friends of the the pilot, Zaharie Ahmad Shah, 53, told aviation specialist William Langewiesche that he had become obsessed with two young models he had seen on the internet after his wife left him, and that he "spent a lot of time pacing empty rooms."
A fellow pilot said: "Zaharie's marriage was bad. In the past he slept with some of the flight attendants. And so what? We all do. You're flying all over the world with these beautiful girls in the back. But his wife knew."
There is a strong suspicion among investigators in the aviation and intelligence communities that he was clinically depressed.

Mr Langewiesche wrote: "There is a strong suspicion among investigators in the aviation and intelligence communities that he was clinically depressed."
An electrical engineer quoted in the account in The Atlantic magazine said that, after depressurising the plane, the pilot probably made a climb which "accelerated the effects of depressurising, causing the rapid incapacitation and death of everyone in the cabin."
The oxygen masks in the main cabin were only designed to last 15 minutes in an emergency descent below 13,000ft.
The pilot would have had access to oxygen in the cockpit and could have flown for hours with the bodies of the passengers strapped into their seats.
Writing in the Atlantic, Mr Langewiesche said: "The cabin occupants would have become incapacitated within a couple of minutes, lost consciousness, and gently died without any choking or gasping for air."
In July last year investigators released a 495-page report, saying the plane's controls were probably deliberately manipulated to take it off course but they were not able to determine who was responsible.
More than 30 bits of suspected washed up debris have been collected from various places around the world.

This volume juxtaposes the dynamic, sweeping planes and angles of the buildings of Zaha Hadid (born 1950) with the equally dynamic art of the Russian Suprematist and Constructivist avant garde-as exemplified in works by Ilya Chashnik, El Lissitzky, Kasimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko and Nikolai Suetin. The book documents an extraordinary, imaginative exhibition curated and designed by Hadid, which examines this conjunction across four themes or aesthetic qualities: Abstraction, Distortion, Fragmentation and Flotation. The exhibition, held in the Galerie Gmurzynska in Zurich in the summer of 2010, was effectively a continuous art installation or environment, with the rooms dramatically striated and sculpted in angular black and white patterns. Hadid first explored the Russian avant garde in her graduation project in 1976-77, and this project consequently represents both a culmination and a labor of love for the architect.
