Moon Craving
Children of the Moon Novel #2
Berkley Sensation
If it were up to him, Talorc—laird of the Sinclair clan and leader of his werewolf pack— would never marry. But when the king orders that Talorc wed an Englishwoman, the lone wolf is shocked to find his mate in the strong-willed Abigail. And after an intensely climactic wedding night, the two fiercely independent souls sense an unbreakable bond…
Deaf since childhood, Abigail hopes to keep her affliction from Talorc as long as possible. And for his part, he has no intention of telling her about being a werewolf. But when Abigail learns that the husband she's begun to love has deceived her, it will take all of his warrior's strength—and his wolf's cunning—to win his wife back. And Talorc will have to face his biggest challenge yet: the vulnerability of a man in love…
"Moon Craving is the sequel I have been waiting for with bated breath. It is exactly what I needed to read and the fact that it is an excellent novel makes me all the more excited to joyfully recommend such a passionate and wonderful book. Fans of Lucy Monroe will sign with romantic delight as the pages come alive. Don't miss it!" – Talia, Joyfully Reviewed
"The historical werewolf spin that is the underlying premise of the Children of the Moon saga is cleverly designed so that the readers will believe in the Chrechte. The return of the lead characters from Moon Awakening in critical support roles is a welcome addition, but the tale belongs to a strong heroine who as Barr the warrior says compensates for her deafness like a great soldier should. Although the lack of a strong villain limits the tension to hiding secrets between the lead couple, fans will enjoy this fine medieval romantic fantasy." ~Harriet Klausner, amazon.com reader reviewer
"This tale is one I'd been waiting to read for many months, ever since Moon Awakening, the first in the series. I loved the idea of Scottish Highland werewolves and how Ms. Monroe always seems to find a way to twist my heart, and this book delivers that too. I am not sure how the author does it but she has a way of making me want to cry with sadness and abandonment at some point during her stories. Then her heroines reach down deep inside themselves to find the courage, bravery and sheer stubborn attitude they need to make a decision that takes destiny into their own hands. Ms. Monroe certainly succeeded in continuing that tradition of quality writing. It always makes the happily ever afters more powerful and memorable" ~ LAS reviewer, amazon.com
"This story plays on all your emotions, from the witty and fun dialogue to the heart-stopping romance. The sex scenes were very satisfying with tenderness, sensuality, and an emotional connection between Abigail and Talorc. I loved how the book ended and will look forward to reading more about the Chrechte. Moon Craving is an outstanding paranormal romance with intriguing characters, an enthralling plot, and witty dialogue" ~Lisa Freeman, Vine Voice reviewer
Talorc stood before the English priest in the small chapel. The MacDonald warriors and most of the English baron's soldiers had to remain outside. His own warriors, the MacDonald and five of his men, his bride's family and a few English soldiers were the only witnesses for the wedding to come.
There were no flowers, no pomp and ceremony for this royally dictated marriage. That should not have bothered him, but the soft-spoken woman he had met the night before seemed to deserve more. Even if she was English. She had been so vulnerable, and yet when he had demanded to know if she planned to marry him, she had taken her time replying.
She had weighed him. He could feel her doing it, and she hadn't been adding up the size of his lands in her head. She'd been judging him personally and something inside him had refused to be found wanting.
She was nothing like Emily, which was both good and bad. He did not relish the prospect of being likened to a goat by another Englishwoman, but he had no desire to see Abigail Hamilton eaten up and spit out by his clan. Emily had come to the Highlands to protect this very sister from such a fate. He could not help believing her fears had been justified.
Abigail spoke in whispers, seemed oblivious to her beauty and had a nervous habit of holding her hand over her throat when she talked. As if she was preventing the wrong words from coming out. His wolf felt protective toward her like he had no other besides family. Since the only one left, his younger sister Caitriona, was now mated to the Balmoral's second-in-command, it had been a long time since Talorc had felt those instincts stir so restlessly.
He wanted to believe it was only because the woman was slated to be his wife, but his wolf had shown no such concern for her sister when King David had originally instructed Talorc to marry Emily. The wolf had wanted to howl at the evidence of bruising on Abigail's pale skin.
And then hunt.
Talorc spent his time waiting for his bride's arrival glaring at the woman's mother and forcing down the wolf's threatening growls.
Lady Hamilton had that same greedy, unreasonable look to her that his stepmother Tamara had had. As if she expected the world to do her bidding and woe betide anyone who refused. At first, the bitch had attempted a smile, but Talorc merely warned her with his eyes how close to death she had come by mistreating the woman that was his.
The fact he had not wanted an English bride made no difference. The kings had dictated that Abigail was to be his and no one dared to mistreat a Sinclair. He was still tempted to kill Lady Hamilton, despite his bride's pleas to the contrary. His wolf clamored for retribution, if not death.
Eventually, the English lady began to squirm under his hostile regard.
Good. She had no place in Abigail's life and he meant her to know it.
Niall cleared his throat, but Talorc did not need the prompting. He had picked up Abigail's scent the moment she entered the chapel. Fragrant herbs, known to heal, mixed with her own unique perfume creating a heady fragrance that called to his beast. It was all Talorc could do not to turn to watch his bride walk up the aisle.
It would not do to show such interest though. The English baron might take it as a courtesy. Not that his wolf seemed to care that Abigail herself was English. The beast never took notice of women, but he certainly noticed Abigail.
And wanted her.
With a ferocity that forced Talorc to keep strict control of the semi-stiff member under his kilt.
The wolf fought to get out and make itself known to the woman about to marry the man. Talorc had to concentrate harder than he ever had on keeping his wolf inside while he waited for Abigail to make her silent trek up the aisle on the arm of the baron.
Finally, he turned, if only to appease the wolf.
Abigail was not smiling, but she did not hesitate in her slow procession toward him. She looked scared, but determined and he respected that.
It was easy to face battle without fear, much harder to face it with uncertainty of the outcome. Eyes the color of rich earth reflected fear, but not terror. That was something. He should not care, but he did not like the idea that marriage to him would terrify her. It was natural for her to be somewhat worried about her future.
She was leaving England for the Highlands. Her life would never be the same.
Nor would his, a low voice inside him insisted. One that sounded suspiciously like his wolf.
Her long ringlets, the color of pure, sweet honey swayed just above her hips with each step she took. Talorc experienced an unfamiliar desire, nay need, to reach out and run his fingers through the silky strands.
He bit back a curse. Where had that thought come from? He had never wanted to touch Emily. Or any other woman. Not since the years during which his body had transitioned from boy to man. His sexual urges had run rampant then, but he had not acted on them.
He had not been ready for a wife and had not found a mate. He would never dishonor his family by not following through on the promises of the flesh either.
Unlike the Balmoral, the Chrechte among the Sinclairs believed sex a binding act. The Balmoral held more lax standards so their warriors could gain control of their ability to shift at will at a younger age.
Luckily for Talorc, his father had had the good sense to mate a white wolf who passed that ability at birth on to their children.
That control over the beast within him had never been truly tested until now.
The wolf wanted Talorc to claim Abigail in the way of his people, but he had no intention of doing that in front of a chapel full of people. Nor did he intend to mate her on anyone's land but his own.
It was bloody frustrating, but for an Englishwoman, Abigail was beautiful and all too alluring. She had perfect bow-shaped lips in a feminine, oval face. Her nose was small and straight and her brown eyes were big and expressive. She'd tried to hide her body's allure in the English clothes she had donned that morning.
She wore her father's colors for the last time. The female tunic over the long dress covered every inch of her skin from her neck to her dainty feet. At least she wasn't wearing the awful cowl-thing her mother had donned. He thought the English women called them wimples. Tamara had insisted on wearing one with the Sinclair, constantly reminding the clan she would not relinquish her English ways.
If Abigail thought to dress so, she would soon learn her mistake.
He would not allow it.
A question came over her lovely features and the baron blanched beside her. Talorc realized he was scowling. He smoothed his features into expressionless repose and put his hand out to take her from her stepfather.
The priest cleared his throat. "We are not yet to that part of the ceremony, my lord."
Since the man spoke English, Talorc chose to ignore him.
He lifted a brow to his bride, asking why she had not complied with his request.
In a move that surprised him and clearly Sir Reuben as well, she dropped her stepfather's arm, stepped around him and took Talorc's hand.
He nodded, grasping her hand firmly and turned to face the priest.
The man looked flustered and took several moments to collect himself before beginning the service. In Gaelic after only one false start.
Talorc spoke the vows of his people in Chrechte when the time came, ignoring the murmurs around him. When his bride's turn came, he moved her so the saw only each other, not the rest of the congregation gathered as witnesses. He told her the vows to speak, speaking slowly so she would not stumble on the unfamiliar words.
Her expression puzzled, but accepting, she whispered them back to him, making lifetime promises he was determined she would keep.
Her mother had a fit then, demanding their vows be repeated in English. Talorc ignored her until the priest intervened.
"I have married her in the way of my people," Talorc said in Gaelic.
The priest nodded. However, when he told Lady Hamilton in English what Talorc had said, the older woman refused to be appeased.
Talorc did not care. The vicious bitch's opinion was of no importance to him. Bored with the argument and unwilling to stay in the company of the English any longer, he swung his new wife into his arms and carried her out of the chapel.
Abigail's arms flew around his neck, but she did not fight him. Nor did she make so much as a peep in surprise. He looked down at her only to find her gazing at him with an expression bordering on panic in her dark brown eyes.
"You are mine now."
"You have no need to worry."
"Was the wedding over? The priest did not say the final blessing?"
"We spoke the blessing ourselves as befits my people."
"I did not think the Scottish were so different from the English."
"I am from the North. We have not taken on your civilized ways."
"A priest's blessing is civilized?"
"It is unnecessary. He spoke the words that made us man and wife and we said our vows."
He should have been glad she gave up so easily, but again he worried about her spirit when faced with the people of his clan. They were not cruel usually, but they respected strength and abhorred weakness.
Sir Reuben shouted something behind them, but Talorc ignored the baron just as he had the man's wife.
His warriors had followed him out of the chapel and were already mounting their horses, clearly as eager as he to get out of the Lowlands. He went straight to his horse, but when he went to toss Abigail on its back, she squirmed from his arms faster than he would have thought possible for a human.
He grabbed her arm before she could dart to the cottage.
She frowned up at him. "I need my things."
She shook her head and twisted from his grasp with shocking agility.
He went to grab her again, but she backed up. "Please. I have gifts for Emily."
"She needs nothing from England."
"Thank you for your opinion on the matter, but I must disagree." She spun and headed toward the cottage.
She had disobeyed him. The shock kept him from going after her at first.
"What is she doing?" Niall asked.
"Getting her gifts for her sister."
"The Balmoral will not like his wife receiving tokens from our enemy's land."
"I know. 'Tis why I have chosen to allow Abigail to get the things."
Niall laughed. "His wife will be grateful."
"'Tis another reason to allow Abigail leeway in this."
"Aye."
The Balmoral might now be his ally, but Talorc did enjoy needling the man.
Just when Talorc was considering the possibility Abigail had taken refuge in the cottage rather than merely gathering her belongings, she came out. She was carrying one large and two small bundles.
He glared. "You'll not wear English clothes as my wife."
"I left all but what I wear now behind," she said, showing more sense than he thought one born a Sassenach might have. "These are the gifts, my sewing and other personal things, and herbs for healing."
The English baron and his wife had come out of the chapel and had spent the last few moments haranguing the priest. But even a holy man knew better than to question the will of the Sinclair. He had refused to demand further concession on the wedding vows.
So, now they were shouting at Talorc, demanding to be heard.
Talorc derived marginal pleasure from ignoring them. He looked at the MacDonald. "Do you have a woman who can help my wife don my colors?"
The laird of the lowland clan nodded. "Aye, indeed."
He waved his wife over and told her what Talorc wanted. The redheaded woman gave Talorc and approving nod before going to Abigail and guiding her back into the cottage, after handing her bundles to Talorc's warriors.
The English baron had given up on the wedding and was now demanding Talorc share the nooning meal with them like a civilized man. As if Talorc desired to be such. Idiots.
"Surely you wish to partake of the game you hunted yesterday for just this occasion."
He had hunted to avoid spending more time than necessary with the English. He had given his game to the MacDonald as thanks for the use of the clan's holding to host the wedding demanded by their king's edict.
When the other man did not seem to know he was supposed to shut up, Talorc turned to the baron with the full force of his displeasure. "I am neither civilized, nor am I English. We leave as soon as my wife is garbed appropriately."
"There was nothing wrong with her dress. Her clothes are the height of fashion." Lady Hamilton looked mortally offended.
"Niall, inform this woman who thinks nothing of beating her daughter into submission how close to death she came."
Niall said the appropriate words in English.
The woman started shrieking at her husband to take exception to such an insult.
Talorc turned to the baron. "You allowed her to harm what belongs to me. You live only because your daughter pled for your life."
Niall started to translate into English, but the baron waved the words away. "I speak your language," he said in English. "I was led to believe you speak English as well."
"Our laird does not allow the language of traitors to pass his lips," Niall said with harsh anger.
Instead of getting angry, as Talorc would have expected, Sir Reuben merely looked thoughtful. "Your father married Lady Tamara of Oborek."
Talorc nodded.
"I would not wish such a match on my worst enemy."
It was Talorc's turn to be shocked, but he did not allow his surprise to show on his face.
"Sybil can be a grasping shrew, but she would not betray her house," the baron said in Gaelic.
"That shrew will never see her daughter again."
"I supposed as much."
The woman in question was still complaining, but no one paid her any heed, not even her husband. She moved from complaint to wheedling, trying to talk Talorc into staying so Abigail could share a last meal with her family.
Since she continued to utter the profanity to his ears that was English, he made no attempt to answer. Or even acknowledge she was speaking.
A few minutes later, Talorc's attention was drawn to Abigail coming from the cottage.
She wore a pale yellow blouse under his plaid. She looked worried, her lower lip caught between her teeth and her gaze flitting from one person to another so quickly it was like a butterfly lighting.
He put his hand out again and she seemed to relax a bit. She started walking toward him with a faster gate.
Her mother went to grab her arm rather than let her pass.
Talorc let out a subvocal growl and the only thing that saved the abusive witch from his wolf was the MacDonald's wife slapping the English woman's hand aside.
"No one touches a laird's wife without his permission," she spit out in heavily accented English. The glare she gave the Englishwoman indicated she had seen Abigail's bruises and either guessed their cause or had asked Abigail and learned the truth.
"Sybil," the baron barked. "Come here, now."
"You would let him deny me my final goodbye to my daughter?" Lady Hamilton asked with furiously offended dignity.
"If she touches what is mine, she dies," Talorc said in a tone that promised he made no threats, only promises.
"I deny it," the baron said furiously. "You reneged your rights as her mother on too many occasions to count. She is no longer your daughter. She is a Sinclair."
His willingness to marry such a viper put his wisdom in question, but Talorc thought the Englishman might actually have some marginal intelligence after all.
"His king promised proof of the consummation," the woman shrieked. "How are we to get that if he leaves with her now?"
"He can send the bloodied sheet by messenger."
"What if he doesn't?" She scooted around her husband and stood in front of Talorc. "You promised your king. Are you a man of honor, or not?"
Talorc's fury burned so bright, his wolf literally itched under his skin to get out and tear out the bitch's throat. "You dare question my honor?"
He didn't wait for the baron to translate Talorc's words for the stupid woman. His king had made the requirement and Talorc had no intention of wasting a messenger on sending bloodied sheets to the grasping Englishwoman.
He marched forward, grabbed his bride and dragged her to the cottage. He went inside and slammed the door so hard the walls rattled.

NASA To Deploy 10 SmallSat Missions to Explore Solar System
Ron Perillo / 3 years ago
NASA plans to launch 10 ambitious projects that will explore the various celestial bodies our solar system. These missions usually cost a lot more as they required the launch of large satellites equipped with powerful instruments but advancements in satellite technology have made it possible to send out much smaller satellites while still able to gather substantial data.
Awarding $3.6 million USD to get the project concepts started, NASA has picked 10 projects under their Planetary Science deep Space SmallSat Studies program (PSDS3). Satellites weighting less than 400 lbs are classified under the SmallSat category even though they can be as big as a fridge or can be small enough to be hand-held. Some CubeSat units for example, measure only 4 cubic inches.
"These small but mighty satellites have the potential to enable transformational science. They will provide valuable information to assist in planning future Announcements of Opportunity, and to guide NASA's development of small spacecraft technologies for deep space science investigation." according to Jim Green, director of the Planetary Science Division at NASA Headquarters in Washington.
The 10 SmallSat projects awarded with the funding include:
Christophe Sotin, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, California: Cupid's Arrow, a 66-pound (30-kilogram) probe to measure noble gases and their isotopes to investigate the geological evolution of Venus and why Venus and Earth have evolved so differently.
Valeria Cottini, University of Maryland, College Park: CubeSat UV Experiment (CUVE), a 12-unit CubeSat orbiter to measure ultraviolet absorption and nightglow emissions to understand Venus' atmospheric dynamics.
Suzanne Romaine, Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory, Cambridge, Massachusetts: CubeSat X-ray Telescope (CubeX), a 12-unit CubeSat to map the elemental composition mapping of airless bodies such as the moon, to understand their formation and evolutionary history using X-ray pulsar timing for deep space navigation.
Timothy Stubbs, NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Maryland: Bi-sat Observations of the Lunar Atmosphere above Swirls (BOLAS), tethered 12-unit CubeSats to investigate the lunar hydrogen cycle by simultaneously measuring electromagnetic fields near the surface of the moon, and incoming solar winds high above.
Jeffrey Plescia, Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, Laurel, Maryland: Asteroid Probe Experiment (APEX), a SmallSat with a deployable seismometer to rendezvous with the asteroid Apophis and directly explore its interior structure, surface properties, and rotational state.
Benton Clark, Lockheed Martin Space Systems Company, Littleton, Colorado: CubeSat Asteroid Encounters for Science and Reconnaissance (CAESAR), a constellation of 6-unit CubeSats to evaluate the bulk properties of asteroids to assess their physical structure, and to provide constraints on their formation and evolution.
David Minton, Purdue University, West Lafayette, Indiana: Chariot to the Moons of Mars, a 12-unit CubeSat with a deployable drag skirt to produce high-resolution imagery and surface material composition of Phobos and Deimos, to help understand how they were formed.
Anthony Colaprete, NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California: Aeolus, a 24-unit CubeSat to directly measure vertically-resolved global winds to help determine the global energy balance at Mars and understand daily climate variability.
Icy Bodies and Outer Planets
Kunio Sayanagi, Hampton University, Virginia: Small Next-generation Atmospheric Probe (SNAP), an atmospheric entry probe to measure vertical cloud structure, stratification, and winds to help understand the chemical and physical processes that shape the atmosphere of Uranus.
Robert Ebert, Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio: JUpiter MagnetosPheric boundary ExploreR (JUMPER), a SmallSat to explore Jupiter's magnetosphere, including characterizing the solar wind upstream of the magnetosphere to provide science context for future missions such as the Europa Clipper.

MADRAS — The upgrades are expected to keep coming at the Madras Municipal Airport.
Earlier this month the airport just northwest of Madras reopened its main runway following the completion of a four-month-long construction project that completely rebuilt the airstrip that dated back to the early 1940s. The 5,079-foot runway will be able to handle larger, heavier aircraft, said Rob Berg, airport manager.
Later this summer, the Madras Airport will upgrade its aviation fuel tanks. Currently, the airport houses two tanks that combined are more than 130 years old.
"We're not sure on the exact dates, but we think the one is from the 1930s," Berg said Thursday.
The runway renovation and fuel tank upgrades are all part of a $3.05 million project paid for in large part by a Federal Aviation Administration grant. The FAA, through its Airport Improvement Program, provided $2,059,169 to the city, which owns the airport. A ConnectOregon V grant from the state provided another $792,000 and the city chipped in $200,000.
"This brings us into the 21st century," said Berg, who also serves as the airport's fixed-base operator, providing aviation services such as fueling, mechanics and hangars.
The renovation projects, according to Berg, also help the airport compete in the always evolving world of general aviation. With similar-size airports in Prineville and Bend, an updated runway is crucial for the Madras Airport's longterm success, he said.
In recent years, the airport has seen a surge in planes on the field — planes that make the Madras Airport their home airport . According to Berg, 112 airplanes are based at the airport, more than double the 49 that were there in 2013, the latest numbers available from the Oregon Department of Aviation.
"The goal is to get that (planes on the field) number up, because that's how the FAA measures airports for their Airport Improvement Funding grants," Berg said.
Activity at the Madras Airport has grown in recent months since the Erickson Aircraft Collection, an aviation museum with more than 20 World War II-era planes, opened at the airport last August.
Earlier this month, Jefferson County announced plans to expand its enterprise zone to include approximately 1,450 acres near the airport, which could generate more aviation-related business. And, Berg said, the airport's annual Airshow of the Cascades, the second-largest air show in the state, expects to draw more than 20,000 spectators for the two-day event in August.
He expects even more business to come the airport's way with its improved infrastructure, an available railway spur, and its proximity to U.S. Highways 97 and 26.
"We're uniquely situated in Madras," Berg said. "The airport's in an industrial park and we have railroad and highway access. The only thing we're missing is marine (availability).

FSB publishes Supplementary Guidance to the FSB Principles and Standards on Sound Compensation Practices
Ref no: 7/2018
The Financial Stability Board (FSB) today published the final version of its Supplementary Guidance to the FSB Principles and Standards on Sound Compensation Practices following a public consultation launched in June 2017. The guidance has been developed in collaboration with other standard-setting bodies. It supplements the FSB's Principles and Standards1 on compensation at significant financial institutions, published in 2009, which note that compensation should be adjusted for all types of risk. The guidance provides firms and supervisors with a framework to consider how compensation practices and tools, such as in-year bonus adjustments, malus or clawback, can be used to reduce misconduct risk and address misconduct incidents.
The Principles and Standards were developed in the aftermath of the global financial crisis to address misaligned incentives that could be created by compensation practices in financial institutions. Since the issuance of the Principles and Standards, supervisors and firms have directed considerable attention to improving the link between risk governance and compensation practices to more effectively align compensation with sound risk-taking behaviour, with a view to the long-term health of financial institutions.
In 2015 in response to significant incidents of misconduct at financial institutions the FSB launched a workplan to reduce misconduct. The guidance published today on better practice regarding the application of the Principles and Standards to misconduct risk forms part of that overall workplan. Compensation and related performance management mechanisms help signal the importance that financial institutions place on prudent management of risk and on standards of behaviour, including compliance with related laws, regulations and supervisory expectations. Compensation tools, along with other measures, can play an important role in addressing misconduct risk by providing both ex ante incentives for good conduct and ex post adjustment mechanisms that ensure appropriate accountability.
The guidance, like the Principles and Standards, will apply to financial institutions that competent authorities consider significant for the purpose of the Principles and Standards. The guidance does not establish additional principles or standards beyond those already set out in the Principles and Standards and it has been developed in the form of recommendations on better practices. It consist of eight recommendations for firms and supervisors and is structured in three parts: (i) governance of compensation and misconduct risk, (ii) effective alignment of compensation with misconduct risk and (iii) supervision of compensation and misconduct risk.
The FSB also published a feedback note together with the guidance setting out responses to comments it received as part of the public consultation and changes it made to the guidance.
The FSB's workplan to reduce misconduct in the financial sector was launched in May 2015. Ethical conduct, and compliance with both the letter and spirit of applicable laws and regulations, is critical to public trust and confidence in the financial system. Misconduct is relevant to prudential oversight as it can potentially affect the safety and soundness of a particular financial institutions. The FSB's workplan covers: (i) examining whether reforms to incentives, for instance to governance and compensation structures, are having sufficient effect on reducing misconduct; (ii) improving global standards of conduct in the fixed income, commodities and currency markets; and (iii) reforming the governance of major benchmarks. In the coming months the FSB will also publish a report on strengthening governance frameworks to mitigate misconduct risks, including a toolkit for firms and supervisors, and will consult on recommendations for consistent national reporting and collection of data on the use of compensation tools to address misconduct risk. The FSB published a progress report on the overall workplan to reduce misconduct in July 2017.2
The FSB published a progress report on Implementing the FSB Principles for Sound Compensation Practices and their Implementation Standards in July 2017.
The FSB has been established to coordinate at the international level the work of national financial authorities and international standard setting bodies and to develop and promote the implementation of effective regulatory, supervisory and other financial sector policies in the interest of financial stability. It brings together national authorities responsible for financial stability in 24 countries and jurisdictions, international financial institutions, sector-specific international groupings of regulators and supervisors, and committees of central bank experts. The FSB also conducts outreach with 65 other jurisdictions through its six regional consultative groups.
The FSB is chaired by Mark Carney, Governor of the Bank of England. Its Secretariat is located in Basel, Switzerland, and hosted by the Bank for International Settlements.
The 2009 Principles and Standards for Sound Compensation Practices are available at http://www.fsb.org/2009/04/principles-for-sound-compensation-practices-2/ and http://www.fsb.org/2009/09/principles-for-sound-compensation-practices-implementation-standards/ [←]

La música drill (també: drill, drill scene, drill-trap), és un estil de música Trap que es va originar als barris del sud de Chicago (South Side) a principis dels anys 2010. Es defineix pel seu contingut líric fosc, violent, nihilista i per les seves percussions palesament influïdes pel trap.
El drill es va escampar per les xarxes d'Amèrica del Nord a mitjan 2012 després de l'èxit de rapers i productors com Young Chop, Chief Keef, Lil Durk, Fredo Santana, SD i Lil Reese, que tenien molts fans locals i una presència important a Internet. A continuació, els mitjans de comunicació la van guaitar i els músics de drill van signar amb discogràfiques importants. Artistes del gènere han destacat pel seu estil de lirisme i per la seva associació amb la delinqüència a Chicago.

Un subgènere regional, el drill britànic, va sorgir a Londres, particularment al districte de Brixton, a partir del 2012. El drill del Regne Unit va assolir protagonisme a mitjans dels anys 2010 i ha influït en la creació d'altres escenes regionals, com ara el drill australià i irlandès.

Característiques

La lletra del drill se centra en la dura vida a Chicago cada dia. Lucy Stehlik (The Guardian), explica «El Drill nihilista reflecteix la vida actual, on els seus homòlegs del hip hop han fracassat». Les lletres del drill divergeixen fortament de les primeres rapers de Chicago, com Common i Twista, més inclinats cap al rap polític o rap conscient. i el popular hip-hop contemporani, que amb l'ascens del drill semblaria glorificar i celebrar un guany en riquesa musical. Les lletres del drill reflecteixen normalment la llei del carrer i se centren en temes foscos, nihilistes, realistes i violents. Els rapers drill usen la tecnologia Auto-Tune. Els rapers originaris d'Atlanta: Gucci Mane i Waka Flocka Flame influïren significativament en la música drill. Compartint algunes similituds amb la música Trap, el ritme del Drill és més lent i va acompanyat d'un ritme moderat, oscil·lant entre 130 i 150 BPM. Els drillers són habitualment joves; la majoria de músics d'aquesta escena criden l'atenció mentre encara són adolescents. Un d'aquests músics, Chief Keef, només tenia 16 anys quan va signar un contracte de 6 milions de dòlars amb Interscope. El driller Lil Wayne va fer una versió d'una cançó de Lil Mouse, raper de Chigago Sud, que començà a cantar amb dotze anys. Artistes femenines com ara Sasha Go Hard aconsegueixen debutar en l'escena de Chicago.

Drill del Regne Unit
L'anomenat UK Drill o Hip Hop britànic és un subgènere de drill i road rap que es va originar al districte sud-londinenc de Brixton des del 2012 en endavant.

Influits per l'estil de la música drill de Chicago, els artistes del Regne Unit sovint versen sobre estils de vida criminals violents i hedonistes. Típicament, els que creen aquest estil de música estan afiliats a bandes de carrer o provenen de barris deprimits socioeconòmicament on la criminalitat és una forma de vida per a molts. La música drill britànica està fortament relacionada amb el rap road,  un estil britànic de gangsta rap que es va popularitzar en els anys anteriors a l'existència del drill. Musicalment, el drill del Regne Unit sovint presenta un llenguatge violent, una varietat de descàrregues lingüístiques i de les ferotges rivalitats que desperten. Entre els pioners destacats s'inclouen les colles 150 i 67 (codis postals amb seu a Brixton o a l'entorn) i 86. Des del 2016, han sorgit grups més moderns com 814, Silwood Nation, Block 6, Y.ACG, Zone 2, BSide, Moscow17, CGM (Antigament 1011), 12World, SMG, OFB, NPK i els Spartans de Harlem. Els grups de drill del Regne Unit es basaven en plataformes d'Internet per distribuir la seva música, sobretot a YouTube, on plataformes com Link-Up TV, GRM Daily, SB.TV, Mixtape Madness, PacMan TV i PressPlay Media han ajudat diversos grups a reunir milers, a vegades milions, de visualitzacions. El drill del Regne Unit ha desenvolupat un estil de producció diferent al de Chicago, prenent influència de gèneres britànics anteriors com el grime i el garatge del Regne Unit, tant que ha estat anomenat New Grime  i el productor de drill Carns Hill ha comentat que necessita un nou nom. Tot i això, Mazza, productor de drill britànic, no estava d'acord amb l'etiqueta nou grime, mantenint que tot i que el drill i el grime comparteixen la mateixa energia, cruesa i es van originar d'una manera similar, els dos gèneres són diferents en la seva forma musical. Sengles gèneres utilitzen un tempos d'aproximadament 140 bpm. El drill del Regne Unit és generalment més ràpid que el seu homòleg de Chicago. Els instrumentals solen tenir un baix lliscant, cops de puny i melodies fosques. AXL Beats va explicar que els 808 i els snares (caixa-tambor) de ritme ràpid són derivats de la música grime.

Els grups de drill britànic sovint s'enganxen en disputes entre ells, de vegades violentes, dedicant-se múltiples cançons insultants. Notables disputes han estat Zone 2 versus Moscow 17, 150 versus 67 OFB/NPK versus WG/N9 and SMG versus 814 (un membre de 814, Showkey, fou apunyalat fins a la mort en 2016 en un incident aïllat).

Debat sobre el tractament explícit dels temes
Les lletres de les cançons, les imatges dels vídeos i a vegades l'actitud personal, carregada de violència, consum de drogues i sexe, sense censura han obert el debat en Gran Bretanya sobre la tolerància a aquest gènere musical. L'accepció en anglès del verb «to drill» indica matar algú a trets, cosa que reforça l'associació del gènere musical amb la violència i les bregues entre bandes. La policia britànica ha demanat a la plataforma Youtube que elimine tots els vídeos possibles d'aquesta variant del trap, ja que asseguren que tots ells estan relacionats amb l'auge de la criminalitat.

El drill a França
Durant una època se li va criticar al rap francès un excés d'imitació al rap nord-americà. Però amb els anys, l'adopció de nous estils com el reggeton i el trap, fusionats amb estils propis i músiques electròniques van acabar donant-li personalitat pròpia als rapers. En un principi hi hagué una adaptació directa d'un so americà en voga (el trap a la francesa de 2013-2015). Les especificitats franceses han demostrat la seva efectivitat (Reggaeton, Afrotrap, etc.). El drill francès ha tingut uns inicis: Decimo (Mantes la Jolie), 1Pliké140, Gazo, Ziak, Negrito, o membres de col·lectius més grans com ara CZ8, Chivas Gang, Lyonzon o els 667, i Kekra. Posteriorment, aparegueren Rim'K, Sch, Hamza, Ninho, Lacrim, Bosh i Kalash Criminel, Flem, Ziak, Ashe 22, Freeze Corleone, Gazo.

El drill a Catalunya
El grup de Trap PAWN Gang té algunes cançons que ells mateixos qualifiquen de drill. Han estat referent d'algun altre grup o cantant. Dos cantants, GB01 i GhettoBoy apareixen en actuacions en directe qualificats com a drillers. Com a figura femenina, hom troba Somadamantina. Algunes persones també consideren drillers alguns rapers com l'hospitalenc Morad.

The most important reason behind the increased prices of compulsory motorists' third party insurance is the fact that "extra duties" are imposed on insurance companies, said CEO of state-owned Iran Insurance Co., Mahmoud Amrollahi. "To make up for losses, insurance companies are forced to hike up prices," he said, as reported by Banker. "If the extra duties are decreased, CMPTL expenses will automatically reduce," he said, giving no more specifics on the issue. There are currently three million vehicles in Iran which are not insured, he said. "It is beyond doubts that if vehicle owners were able to afford insurance they would duly insure their cars and this would result in reduction of risks," Amorllahi added.Insurance companies cannot be expected to address the issue on their own, he stated, urging parliamentarians to pass a law that would mandate every citizen to purchase the insurance coverage.
What Future for Insurance Industry?

How SEIA's New Model PPA Will Enable Wide-Scale C&I Solar Deployment
The PPA could unlock the enormous potential of C&I solar by dramatically lowering legal and other due diligence costs.
Mike Mendelsohn October 16, 2017
Commercial and industrial rooftop solar.
Success in our highly competitive solar market is often defined by "transactional efficiency," or the ability to simultaneously lower costs and negotiate and implement solar projects quickly, at considerable volume, and with consistent high quality.
To that effect, the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) is working on a platform of elements to help speed the solar development process, mitigate burdensome transaction costs and scale the industry to underserved geographic markets and end-use segments.
Transactional efficiency is particularly relevant to the small-medium commercial and industrial (C&I) sector, and specifically projects serving the behind-the-meter portion of the C&I spectrum.
This difficult-to-serve market comprises the majority of the country's commercial real estate. Among other things, CRE owners and tenants generally have "unrated credits" and are, therefore, difficult to underwrite long-term solar projects for.
And although the aggregate potential for distributed C&I solar is extraordinary -- much higher than the installed capacity to date -- these projects are individually small in size, and constrained by available roof space and/or load requirements. Developers in this sector continually battle tight margins and counterparties with limited bandwidth to focus on negotiating a solar contract or evaluating the value proposition of the investment, even if very convincing.
Over the past couple of years, SEIA has been focused on this sector and how to unlock its enormous potential.
To that effect, SEIA's C&I Working Group recently issued a new model power-purchase agreement (PPA). The document represents an improved version of its predecessor -- first issued by National Renewable Energy Lab's Solar Access to Public Capital (SAPC) working group -- and incorporates critical learning from dozens of top law firms, development entities and financing stakeholders.
Overall, the PPA could lead to dramatically lower legal and other due diligence costs of solar.
According to Dirk Michels, partner at Ballard Spahr and one of the leading authors of the new PPA, "if the SEIA C&I PPA and embedded access license were to be used, instead of a fully negotiated PPA and Site Agreement, the legal cost of negotiation could drop from approximately $20,000 and more currently for a small to medium-size behind-the-meter C&I project to considerably less than $5,000."
Specifically, the new PPA:
is notably shorter than the NREL SAPC form, reducing the length from 36 to 23 pages
is more clear and concise and easier to navigate for both development entities and their offtaker counterparties
modernizes terms used by industry entities -- rather than referring to environmental attributes and incentives dozens of times, the revised version concisely refers to renewables energy credits and incentives
perhaps most significantly, provides better balance of risk and eliminates uncertainty between the seller and offtaker in determining the final price of power due to unforeseen occurrences
Ongoing expansion of SEIA's model contract suite includes a PACE addendum to combine the benefits of PPAs and property-assessed clean energy, as well as a storage addendum to facilitate solar-plus-storage contracts -- two areas that could lead to significant growth in solar deployments.
But consistent offtake contracts are only one key piece of the puzzle.
Other puzzle pieces include consistent installation and risk management protocols. These are areas SEIA continues to work on with its membership to build consensus around best practices.
Perhaps the greatest potential benefit of standardization is in the industry's continuous need to raise capital. Local and regional bank entities, private investors and corporations represent significant potential supply of tax equity and debt capital, but they remain largely untapped. Without consistent documentation and other infrastructure in place, these potential investors must develop and maintain expensive systems and expertise to conduct due diligence and asset management tasks on their own.
Banks and other potential providers of low-cost debt capital also seek long-term liquidity or "take-out" options, i.e., so that they are not required to hold the investment over the entire contracted life of the asset. More mature asset classes, such as mortgages and auto loans, rely on the bundling and securitization of cash flows for purchase by pension funds, insurance companies and other capital market investors who seek long-dated investments and the safety of portfolio techniques.
And the need for low-cost debt will only expand: As the industry works to maintain its growth objectives, and as the ITC essentially fades from use early in the next decade, the need for access to broad swaths of debt will become increasingly relevant.
SEIA and its members are currently researching innovative mechanisms to pool C&I project cash flows at sufficient volume necessary to attract capital market investment. Solar asset consistency will be critical to solving an array of relevant barriers.
In sum, the faster and further the C&I solar sector can build and adopt the asset consistency infrastructure, the better the industry can create a landscape that facilitates deployment speed and capital formation. Check out the new SEIA C&I PPA and our various other activities to make this a reality here.


The Monastery of the Holy and Life-Giving Trinity, Lavra of Mambre, is a monastery for women under the jurisdiction of the Patriarchate of Antioch near the City of Guatemala in Guatemala. The monastery was founded in April 1986 by Mother Inés (Ayau Garcia) and Sister María Amistoso. It supported the only Orthodox church in Guatemala before 2010, when Orthodox Christianity in Guatemala expanded with the mass conversion of Mayan Indians.
In 1986, Sister Inés, who was from an influential and well-known family in Guatemala, made an extreme change in her life when she left a Roman Catholic monastic order and became an Orthodox nun in a country without an Orthodox presence. Joined by Sister María, Sister Inés founded Holy Trinity Monastery in April 1986. In 1989, the monastery received a donation of some land on the shores of Lake Amatitlán. The land, at an elevation of almost 4,000 feet near the City of Guatemala, is located near Pacaya, a very active volcano.
On December 6, 1995, His Grace Bishop Antonio Chedraoul of Mexico, Venezuela, Central America, and the Caribbean, of the Patriarchate of Antioch, formally brought Orthodox Christianity to Guatemala with the recognition of the monastery with its three nuns and twenty-five parishioners under the leadership of Mother Inés.
Over the following years the monastery grew, adding buildings to the land donated by Federico Bauer. On November 8, 2007, an assemblage of clergy and nuns, led by Archbishop Antonio, came to Guatemala on the occasion of consecrating the church (Iglesia católica apostólica orthodoxa de Guatemala) at the monastery.
In 1996, the government of Guatemala gave the monastery control of the Hogar Rafael Ayau Orphanage in Guatemala City. The orphanage was originally founded in 1857 by Rafael Ayau, an ancestor (great-great-grandfather) of Mother Inés. At its founding Don Rafael placed the management of the orphanage in the hands of monks from the charity organization "Caridad". In 1960, the government of Guatemala took control of the orphanage and deported the monks. Under government control, the orphanage deteriorated until in 1996 President Álvaro Arsu took action and turned over control of the orphanage to the nuns of Holy Trinity Monastery, an action that probably no one else in Guatemala would have made.
Since 1996, the House of Rafael Ayau has provided shelter and education to the high-school level to children from newborn babies to adolescents of sixteen years of age, imbued with basic Orthodox concepts. In February 1997, the Church of the Transfiguration of the Lord was blessed in the orphanage building. As a priest has not been assigned to the church in the orphanage, services, led by a reader, are routinely held supported by two children's choirs that sing antiphonically. The orphanage is the oldest and largest in Guatemala. Throughout the Month of July 2013, the orphanage relocated from the troubled urban district to the countryside monastery campus.

A regional challenge is to set regulatory standards to enhance public debate.
The majority of Latin American countries are faced with profound inequality in terms of access to the media. This situation means some sectors of society may not have their voices heard in an equitable manner and calls for measures to counter the concentration of media sources, prevent the solidification of new dominant positions and foster the emergence of new actors in mass communications.
This does not in any way imply a complete departure from the traditional agenda of monitoring and denouncing any form of direct or indirect restriction that the powers of the state may impose —and in fact still do in many of the region's countries— to limit the exercise of one's right to information.
In many cases, it is necessary to revise legislation that is of an authoritarian nature and in opposition to the principles of human rights, a "relic" of military dictatorships of the 1970s and '80s. It is worth examining the situation in some of the countries where new developments have recently taken place.
In Argentina, the National Congress passed the Audiovisual Communication Services Act in October 2009 to replace the guidelines enacted by the country's late military dictatorship in 1980. This new regulation is founded on international human rights standards and promotes pluralism and diversity. Features of the Act include the allocation of one third of the frequency spectrum to non-commercial radio stations and restrictions on the concentration of ownership. In the same year, Congress also decriminalized expression on topics of public interest. Both reforms constitute an unprecedented advance in the area of freedom of expression in the country's history. Nevertheless, the successful implementation of the new guidelines on audiovisual communications will require politicians to overcome hurdles and resist pressure from multimedia groups to make effective democratization possible.
In Bolivia, the national constitution —which came into force in 2009— prohibits the formation of media monopolies and oligopolies. It further stipulates that the media must help disseminate the range of views inherent in a pluricultural state, and includes a "conscience clause" pertaining to journalists and communications workers. Looking ahead, the next challenge will be to develop specific standards that render these constitutional requirements operational.
In Brazil, the constitution also prohibits monopolies and oligopolies as well as the entry of foreign capital into the media market. Added to these stipulations are more specific regulations such as the General Telecommunications Act, the community radio regulation and the "Lei do Cabo" (for pay TV). Nonetheless, non-commercial radio stations face discrimination, and more than 7,000 individuals are currently involved in court cases for crimes related to exercising their freedom of expression. The government has announced changes to the regulation. It is also hoped that the November 2010 judgment in the Gomes Lund case —in which the Inter-American Court of Human Rights ordered that those responsible for crimes against humanity be tried and that effective measures be taken to guarantee the right to the truth concerning past events— will help accelerate the process of sanctioning a law governing access to public information.
Regulations are reinforcing the historic discrimination faced by community radio stations.
In Chile, the Radio Broadcasting Act was passed in 1989 under the dictatorship of General Augusto Pinochet. While the entry of foreign capital may be banned, the Spanish media conglomerate PRISA owns more than 10 major radio stations nationwide. In addition, recent regulations are reinforcing the historic discrimination faced by community radio stations, which are prosecuted and obligated to hand over their equipment. Non-commercial radio stations may only transmit on the FM band, at extreme ends of the spectrum and using a weak signal. Meanwhile, the country's predominant media outlet, Televisión Nacional, obtains funding through advertisement revenue, thus making its modus operandi similar to that of commercial radio stations. Another important public media source, the newspaper La Nación, was closed upon orders from the executive branch in 2010.
In Ecuador, private media companies have been voicing their opposition to all democracy-oriented initiatives since President Rafael Correa took office. This dispute was evident at the end of September 2010 when the national police led an attempted coup that was supported by the major print and audiovisual media actors. Currently, Ecuador's Congress is debating a new communications bill that would also include community radio stations, strengthen the public media system and limit concentration. It is hoped that this debate will lead to the creation of a legal framework that would widen the diversity of voices and the pluralism of information, given a context that still presents significant inequalities in access to public debate.
In Uruguay, the Radio Broadcasting Act of 1967 includes provisions that are incompatible with international human rights standards. Throughout 2010, a fruitful public debate resulted in the drafting of a new bill; however, President José Mujica rejected the proposition, thereby passing up an opportunity to make progress in democratic regulations. Notwithstanding, in 2007 Parliament passed a law that recognizes the rights of community radio stations and guarantees non-discrimination, and in 2008 non-compliance and libel figures were released.
In Venezuela, the constitution recognizes the right of all individuals to receive and disseminate information and opinions, and the right to correction of inaccurate information. The Social Responsibility in Radio and Television Act of 2004 and its December 2010 amendment incorporating electronic media are founded on these provisions; it sets out harsh penalties based on assumptions that can be considered ambiguous. The Act also establishes administrative censorship mechanisms within the framework of sanctioning processes that are in opposition to those set out by the American Convention of Human Rights.
The goal of the Inter-American Human Rights System is to ensure the right of citizens to access the greatest diversity of information possible under protection both from government intervention and from economic interests that influence companies in the sector. From this perspective, Latin American countries face the common challenge of setting regulatory standards to enhance public debate and thereby consolidate democratic systems.

Study: Don't buy small pizzas and here's why
By Susan Selasky Detroit Free Press (TNS)
Think again before you order a small pizza. The folks at Groupon analyzed data from 230 plain, specialty (think meat lover's and Hawaiian) and one-topping pizzas from six national chains to find the best value.
Their conclusion is that you should "never, ever, buy the small pizza."
Buying a large pizza is a better value and cheaper price than buying a small.
They calculated the surface area of the standard diameter of pizza measurement to determine the best price. Pizza prices from six of the largest national pizza places — Domino's, Pizza Hut, Papa John's, Casey's, Papa Murphy's and Little Caesars — were factored in. The average price for 2-3 slices of a 14-inch pizza came out to about $5 per person.
Groupon, an eCommerce business that offers deals on a variety of things to do, restaurants, travel and products, gave huge kudos to Detroit's hometown local pizza chain Little Caesars for having just one size, a 14-inch pizza. They singled out Little Caesars calling them "…far and away the most cost-effective pizza chain out there."
Here are some key findings gleaned from Groupon's pizza survey:
A 16-inch pizza is actually two-and-a-half times more food than a 10-inch pizza. Price-wise, instead of spending $19.23, you'd be spending $32.76 on average on the small pizzas to equal the large. That's a price increase of 70% for the same amount of pizza.
The average price per square inch for a 10-inch pizza was $0.16 versus $0.096 for a 16-inch pizza.
It's better to split toppings across larger pizzas rather than ordering multiple small pizzas: an extra large pizza only costs about $4.50 per person, but a small will run you an average of $8 per person.
On average, 2-3 slices of a 14-inch pizza costs about $5. But that same serving size from a 10-inch pizza costs about $8.
Papa John's was the most expensive, compared to its pizza peers, but it had the steepest drop from their smallest pie to their largest. A small went from $8.70 per person to $5.83 per person for an extra large — a 32.9% discount.
The average calories-per-slice across the 230 pizzas was 305.19 calories.

So... do you actually get to play Gordon Freeman now? Or is he just posing for that publicity photo?
Because he looks badass. Sasuke there in the same outfit does not.

What about other 3? Surely they deserve lab coat, security guard and marine skins.

It's just a costume for an avatar character you can create in the multiplayer.
It's a loadout, like they just added Iris and Arena.
Well by all accounts now Dissidia bomb everywhere else but Japan.

Releasing a game too near a bigger more hyped fighting game, Monster Hunter World exploding and just not being a good follow up to past games.
The 3 vs 3 dynamic isn't a popular fighting gerne out of Japan/Arcades, story mode seems barebones.

Moment I found out it was 3 v 3 and no real consistent RPG system I stopped paying attention.
Like are SE and Team Ninja so cheap they can't try to fix it up more for consoles?
Did they really think a structure so rooted in arcades would work well on a console, especially when people WILL compare it to previous games?
I am really not the guy to rub salt in the wounds, but even Metal Gear Survive is selling better.
Don't think it's sellign that bad.
Survive sold 85% less copies in its debut week than Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance
Survive sold 5% as much as MGS5 during the same period.

When you take into consideration Dissidia games were originally handheld games I like to think they had every reason to be confident it would work.

The original Dissidia games were also 1 on 1 combat. So you could focus on the enemy and super customize the character.
Making it 3 on 3 makes it really awful for solo play where you're depending on either bad AI, or internet strangers, and intensely limits your character customization. All the characters got retooled to be LESS complicated and diverse than they used to be, what? (You no longer can set a huge variety of attacks to really customize, its just a little bit.) And the roster is SMALLER than previous entry and missing a whole bunch of characters? Sure it has Ramza and Sasuke, but no Gilgamesh or Tifa orYuna or Prishe ?
Same problem Gundam Versus has. What works in an arcade with the other people right beside you doesn't always translate to a home system.
Also, the original Dissidia games were like 10 years ago and had a super in depth story, item system, and customization.
Honestly if they'd just ported Dissidia 12 and upgraded the graphics I think people would have been cool with that.

Dissidia NT receives its Chaos rep for FFXII... but it's not who you think.
Honestly, it would have been more fitting at this point that Vayne's intro pose would be him stepping on Gabranth's corpse. Poor Gabranth... Having replayed XII recently, I have a lot more respect and interest in Vayne's character (along with all the characters, especially Gabranth), that I don't mind this.
I'm glad his standard appearance can remain his... "Maybe He's Born With It" perfect haired politician self, cause I've never liked his final form. And he looks so stylish as he fights, almost like he is a King of Fighters character. I dig it.

So interestingly enough, they revealed hints as to what the six DLC characters would be in a previous stream. The hints were:
-Male character from later half of the series
-Male character from the early half of the series
-Female character from the later half of the series
-Returning female character from the later half of the series
Vayne is the first one, and that fits. What kind of sucks is, if we follow Vayne, we kind of can figure out the remainder.
Vayne. Duh.
-Male character from early half of series
Let's assume it won't be another IV or V character when they already have a third rep. Let's also pray that it's not VII, when they too have a third rep, but it's possible considering that it is VII we're talking about
That leave I, II, III, and VI. In terms of popularity, the only characters of I-III who hold any significance is Minwu, and while a white mage would be interesting, I think all leads point to us having a new FF6 rep.
It is either going to be Locke (who is the most popular option) or Edgar (who would have way more creative combat options than Locke). Either way, I'm hype.
As much as I want to throw caution to the wind and say "Oh, it's obviously going to be our FF9 rep, so Freya or Beatrix", we don't have second reps for XIII, XIV, and XV. I honestly think, especially with Stormblood, this is going to be Yda. Yda is the only XIV character we've explored as much as Y'Shtola. Those of you who don't know much about Yda: Yda is essentially a 10x more badass version of Tifa. Like, Yda canonically can perform Final Heaven. And it's not even her strongest attack. She'll be fun, especially with her Stormblood costume.
Again, we get back to that 'XIII and XV need secondary reps'. Unlike XII, XIII has never had a Chaos rep, so now is probably where they will finally throw them in. It is either going to be Raines or Caius. I wouldn't be shocked by either. I'd prefer Raines, but I expect to see either one.
-Returning female character
Let's break this down: Only remaining female characters to return are Prishe, Yuna, and Tifa. Let's be real, I would be SHOCKED if Prishe beat Tifa and Yuna to the punch. We have an FF7 remake on the plan board, and Yuna is the most popular FF female character in Japan. It's going to be one or the other. I think Yuna is more likely, though I kind of hope they change her to gunner Yuna. Especially because her being able to summon monsters would kind of be pointless... when you can summon in the game anyway. But we'll see.
FFXV is going to get a second rep. It is going to be Ardyn, and we are going to have to live with that trash bucket getting into this game instead of Vivi. But it will be okay. We'll live.
March 13th, 2018 05:44 PM #59
I'd be totally okay with them adding another FF7 rep if it was Red XIII. But they won't. And FF7 being FF7, I wouldn't be surprised if it got super disproportionate reps. It was the only game to (sort of) have 4 reps before, but I don't recall what shenanigans were needed to use Aeris.
Also the 3 on 3 combat sucks. The 1 on 1 in the trailers and the old games is so much better.
Halfmetal-lich
We call it, the SAH-OP.
That returning female character is gonna be Tifa. Japan isn't gonna let those oppai go to waste.
Also, Vayne look cool, and that video from the post above is cringy as fuck.

Well we made it. The 12th month of 2015. I literally cannot believe it. We say this every year yet each year seems to go by faster than the one before it. So much has happened in 2015. I was able to capture a lot of it here on the blog, but as you know life is crazy not every facet of my life is detailed here on the blog like it used to be. Why? Simply put, the gluten free chef blog has become a community and brand that is now much bigger than myself. I've wrote about that here and here but it bears repeating. What started out as a very personal public journal of my life, battles, struggles, triumphs, and journey with chronic illness, has become a lifestyle and wellness brand. An online community that is shared, liked, and loved by thousands of people every single day both here and on social media. The conversations no longer stop at the end of a post or article but now carry on via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Pinterest, and Soundcloud.
We have a collection of featured writers who add to the scope and breadth of this platform speaking to issues that go beyond what we eat and speak to the mental, emotional, and social well being of all persons; celiacs and non celiacs alike. The gluten free chef brand is now in schools and community education classes, networking events, chats, emails, pop up events,(yes pop ups:)) farmers markets and so much more.
It is for this reason that throughout most of the month of December you will see and read less here on the main site. With so many moving parts and a tiny staff of dedicated individuals, we simply cannot be in all of these places at once. Creativity takes time. Creativity takes energy. Creativity takes mind, body, and soul. As a person living with several chronic illness (celiac disease being only one) I have learned how to better manage my time, energy, and resources to be able to grow our community. As Editor and Chief I have to know when to delegate, when to slow down, and when to speed up all the creativity that flows through my mind, body, and soul 24/7.
So, I'll be focusing on recharging and improving the site and brand throughout the month. Since we are a community space and a community entity, I no longer need to be tethered to blog posts and writing here every single day. I have confidence that you all will keep the conversations alive and flowing throughout all the channels and mediums that are stamped with the gluten free chef logo. You always do. I am super excited to be bringing so much more to all of you and I cannot wait until you see all that 2016 has in store. Stay tuned. Keep the conversation going and flowing.

Q: Inserting HTML into XML view with captcha I'm currently working on a page that is made with openui5, what I need to do is to insert a captcha, but as far as I know there is no captcha in openui5, what I was trying is to insert HTML content into this.
The problem is, my views are in XML and I did try to insert directly using  tags and changing the content, but wasn't possible, it says incorrect xml parsing.
Part of my code of where I want to input my html div:
<Page id="page1" class="marginBoxContent" showHeader="false" showFooter="false" enableScrolling="true">

I want to insert exaclty here:
<f:formElements>
          <f:FormElement label="">
            <f:fields>
              <Button id="btnLogin" text="{i18n>Sigin}" type="Emphasized" press="login" />
            </f:fields>
          </f:FormElement>
        </f:formElements>

Inside the fields xml or before, because the captcha will appear above the login button.
The content of the div I want to insert is from google captcha:

Couldn't have success yet, anybody can help me with that?
Maybe is something about the namespace, I don't know, here is my namespace config:
  <mvc:View
  height="100%"
  xmlns="sap.m"
  xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
  xmlns:l="sap.ui.layout"
  xmlns:f="sap.ui.layout.form"
  xmlns:core="sap.ui.core"
  controllerName="hiddenName.app.login.view.Login">

Thanks a lot for your time!

A: thank you for every help. I got some help from all comments, what I did was declare the namespace to html:
<mvc:View
  xmlns="sap.m"
  xmlns:mvc="sap.ui.core.mvc"
  xmlns:l="sap.ui.layout"
  xmlns:f="sap.ui.layout.form"
  xmlns:core="sap.ui.core"
  xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
  height="100%"
  controllerName="hiddenName.app.login.view.Login"
>

And simply added the tag as I show down here:

Also remember to declare the import of the google js(added it on my index):

I'm still trying to figure out how to get this captcha answer and pass or not to the login.
With that, the captcha appears and is generated.
Thank you!

A: To insert HTML in a XML view you could use the HTML control from the sap.ui.core library. You will have to escape the HTML text before using it in XML.
<core:HTML content='<div id="recaptcha" class="g-recaptcha" data-sitekey="your_site_key" data-callback="onSubmit" data-size="invisible"></div>' />

Sen. Feinstein: Comey Should Have Looked Before He Leaped
Sen. Feinstein said FBI Director Comey had more than two options on how to handle some new information about Clinton's email investigation
By John Amato
2 years ago by John Amato
Sen. Dianne Feinstein didn't buy any of FBI Director James Comey's ridiculous explanations on why he broke DOJ protocols and sent his "October surprise" letter to Congress about investigating emails on Huma Abedin's laptop which likely turned the general election to Donald Trump.
Feinstein told Meet The Press's Andrea Mitchell, "I disagree with him. I think you look before you leap."
Comey told the Senate Intelligence Committee that he is "mildly nauseous" at the thought his decision played a role in the 2016 presidential election, but claimed he only had two choices and if he didn't make the one he did, the results would have been "catastrophic" to the agency.
Not even conservatives like Judge Andrew Napolitano and Judge Jeanine Pirro bought that malarkey,both believing Comey disgraced and politicized the FBI with his actions.
Meet The Press guest host Andrea Mitchell asked, "He said he was mildly nauseous at thinking that he had impacted the election but thought he had no choice. You disagree."
Feinstein, a member on the committee, replied, "I disagree with him. I think you look before you leap."
She continued, "The FBI has a policy of not announcing October surprises. This was eleven days before the election. What he could have done is said, 'Let's just be sure. Let's get a search warrant. Let's look at the Weiner computer and let's see what there is.'"
Because of Comey's reckless actions, which included giving an unprecedented press conference in July to announce the FBI's conclusion that no charges against Clinton were being recommended, the FBI is now more distrusted than ever.
Sen. Feinstein continued, "So what he did was authorize what I believe to be a needless investigation eleven days, which I have no doubt, and I believe that the Clinton campaign's polls show this, that it made a big difference. And the FBI should not do that. So I don't understand the march to do this immediately when he could have gotten the search warrant first."
Nate Silver and Five Thirty Eight also said the Comey Letter turned the election to Trump and asked, "why won't the media admit as much?"
It wasn't only Clinton's pollster that said Comey's letter swung the election to Donald. Trump's own pollste,r Tony Fabrizio, verified that as well.
In the final week after FBI director James Comey released a vague letter saying that the agency was examining new emails found on Anthony Weiner's computer, the husband of Clinton aide Huma Abedin, [Clinton consultant Joel] Benenson said that Clinton's defectors just didn't come back.
"Ours were coming back after the third debate," Benenson said of the Clinton defectors. "We had actually solidified our lead for a period of days after that debate. Comey happens on that Friday, eleven days out, and that's when we see—our defectors leave, their defectors get loyal and that keeps moving and probably in the end tips the balance."
Fabrizio completely agreed with him, saying if one didn't understand the polling fluctuations, "you'd think the bottom fell out."
The groups Fabrizio was tracking, specifically "Trump targets"—a cohort which they consistently tried to sway from supporting Johnson and/or Clinton—drastically decreased in the final week after the Comey letter. They all essentially came home.
Clinton didn't run the perfect campaign, but there is no denying the effect Comey's letter played in the general election.

FBI Director Comey is a Republican. This was never more apparent than with the release of his vague insinuation that "more" was discovered about the Clinton emails.
