[09:03] {magoo} yep..i can understand it
[09:04] {Threei} http://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/fairvalue.asp
[09:04] {Threei} the futures market, fair value is the equilibrium price for a futures contract. This is equal to the spot price after taking into account compounded interest (and dividends lost because the investor owns the futures contract rather than the physical stocks) over a certain period of time.
[09:04] {Threei} The "fair value" quoted on TV refers to the relationship between the futures contract on a market index and the actual value of the index. If the futures are above fair value then traders are betting the market index will go higher, the opposite is true if futures are below fair value.

We organize your private adventures if you wish so. By day we have options that allow you to cycle awesome landscapes, hike or ride breathtaking tracks, kayak beautiful lakes, explore caves, raft dramatic rapids and much, much more. We mainly focus on the mountain areas, but our experience is such that we can make arrangements for extension of your holiday at the Black Sea Coast.

We are one phone call away to try and arrange something for you.
Traveling individually around Bulgaria with Cobeya Adventure Tours is not just about driving from town to town, city to city and museum to museum.
No, we try and make you live and experience the Bulgarian way of life without having to worry about the details such as where to sleep and what to see, that's what we are there for: to organize the most interesting, exciting but relaxed holiday possible!
And don't worry, it is impossible to see everything in one go, but it is possible to return to Bulgaria and see the things you didn't get to see the first time.


text: Traveling today, more than ever, can be a real nightmare. Baggage fees, delayed flights, and lines longer than the Nile can contribute to a day that can't be saved... even with the usual two martinis. However, as with anything painful, you can always do SOME things to make the best of an unpleasant situation.

Morning Brief: JANA Drops Proxy Fight with EQT
The activist hedge fund firm is still planning to vote against the company's acquisition of Rice Energy.
JANA Partners has dropped its proxy fight with EQT Corporation. The activist hedge fund firm headed by Barry Rosenstein said in a regulatory filing that it will cease soliciting proxy materials but still plans to vote against the company's acquisition of Rice Energy. JANA has maintained that EQT's shares are undervalued but that the best way to address this situation is to break it into two separate companies: exploration and production and midstream. It thinks a merger would create less value than splitting. The vote for the Rice deal is scheduled for Thursday, November 9.
On September 13, EQT announced that once the Rice deal closes, it will create a board committee to research ways for "addressing EQT's sum-of-the-parts discount." It said the committee with announce a recommendation by the end of the first quarter of 2018. JANA said in its latest regulatory filing that it may still pursue change at EQT's board "depending upon various factors, including the outcome" of the board's review of its sum-of-the-parts discount and how it plans to act on it.
Marcato Capital Management filed a definitive proxy statement for the election of nine individuals to the board of directors of Deckers Outdoor Corporation. The San Francisco activist firm owns 8.4 percent of the shares of the company best known for its UGGs brand. "Deckers' Board has failed its stockholders repeatedly, over a multi-year period, and should not be trusted to deliver on its goals," the hedge fund firm asserted in its filing. The firm's Marcato International fund is up about 18.6 percent for the year through October, according to an HSBC document that tracks hedge fund performance.
John Paulson posted another sharp loss in October. The Schroder GAIA Paulson Merger Arbitrage fund, a UCITS fund (undertakings for the collective investment of transferable securities, a type of European mutual fund) offered on the Schroder Investment Management platform, fell about 4.8 percent last month and is now down nearly 19 percent for the year, according to an HSBC document detailing hedge fund performance. Although the fund only manages $125 million, a person with knowledge of the fund confirms this performance is in line with that of Paulson Partners, Paulson & Co.'s oldest fund, which specializes in merger arbitrage.
Credit Suisse cut its price target on hedge fund favorite Allergan from $243 to $224 but maintained its outperform rating on the stock. The investment bank explained in a note to clients that it is adjusting its sales and earnings estimates following the drug company's third-quarter results. It says its "blue sky" valuation is $284, while its "grey sky" valuation is closer to $158. "The main risks to our call include disappointing commercial performance for key products such as Botox, Juvederm and Linzess, or disappointing data from pipeline assets such as the oral CGRPs and abicipar," Credit Suisse stated in the note. At the end of the second quarter, at least 84 hedge funds held a position in the stock, including 23 that included the stock among their top-ten holdings, according to Goldman Sachs.

Q: If you order your food at a register and take it to the table yourself, should you tip on the receipt, at the table or at all?
"If I have to stand around and wait for my food before I can take a seat, or jump back up when my name is called and collect it from the counter, I don't often tip — in fact, rarely is there a tip jar at places like that, and I'm certainly not going to leave a tip at the table if I've not been served. I'm doing most of the work myself, usually including taking my empty plate and glass and dumping them into a bin, busing my own garbage too. The only worker involved (if you are lucky) is someone who then wipes the table down before the next diner grabs the spot.
There's another, informal style of restaurant where tipping is the norm — where you order at the counter, pay (and feed the tip jar), get a number, take a seat and the food is brought to you at your table by service personnel, so you don't have to stand around but can have more of a dining experience. Generally it's a local restaurant that is trying to keep costs down, thus keeping prices reasonable for its diners by streamlining the waitstaff down to a delivery person and perhaps a busser. These people are trying to help you keep within your budget but still dine in their restaurant and deserve a tip!"
— Terry Paulding, owner of Paulding & Company, a California culinary company
"I've actually wondered about this myself. I usually default to tipping on the receipt. I think it will be shared equally. (But when you tip) on the table, whoever clears the table is getting it. There is no real service involved except the clearing of the table. No one is actually waiting on you, where a real gratuity is justified."

Valentine's Day ideal time for Cocoa Desert
Valentine's Day is a busy time for chocolate makers. So Cathy Yuryevich is understandably hard at work producing her latest range in the lead-up to the special day.
Her new chocolate business, Cocoa Desert, has been slowly building from word-of-mouth recommendations and promotion.
"I've been running for just over 12 months," Ms Yuryevich said. "I work from home because I've got young children. Three generations of my family have made confectionery and chocolate, so I basically learnt from my mother."
"Every Christmas we made chocolate for people as gifts, and every year someone would say to me 'oh, you really should sell these'.
"So, as time went on I decided to try and make it into a business."
Ms Yuryevich said her latest creations incorporated native Australian ingredients and flavours into the chocolate to make a product unique to the Goldfields.

Sold for: £189,000
Subaru's first venture on to the world rally stage was at the 1980 Safari Rally with the less than competitive Leone model, and the arduous African event would remain the focus of the firm's rally campaign for those first few years. In 1990, the commencement of what would turn out to be a highly successful partnership with the Prodrive of Banbury enabled Subaru to undertake a full international season for the first time. Despite adequate power from the Legacy 4WD's turbocharged engine, and the presence of Finn Markku Alen in the Prodrive works team, outright victory at international level continued to prove elusive, though Scot Colin McRae's back-to-back RAC Open Championships in 1991 and 1992 hinted at greater things to come. Following the arrival of the new Impreza Turbo model in 1993, Subaru made its long-awaited breakthrough in August of that year when Colin McRae/Derek Ringer in the Prodrive-prepared Impreza 555 won the New Zealand Rally, the marque's first major international success. The following season brought three more World Rally Championship (WRC) victories – two for McRae and one for Carlos Sainz – before Subaru finally achieved its long-sought goal of outright victory in the World Championship in 1995. In a closely fought contest, Subaru team-mates McRae and Sainz won five of the eight rounds between them – the split being three/two to the Spaniard – with the Drivers' Championship eventually decided in the Scot's favour by virtue of his greater consistency. Subaru also claimed the Manufacturers' title, a feat it would repeat in 1996 and again in 1997. Further Drivers' World Championships were secured in 2001, courtesy of the late Richard Burns, and in 2003 when Petter Solberg emerged triumphant. Subaru pulled out of the WRC at the end of the 2008 season citing the economic downturn then affecting the automotive industry for their withdrawal.
According to the accompanying Gold Book, the stunning Subaru Impreza WRC S12B (PRO.GDB.06.014) on offer here was campaigned in six rounds of the 2007 WRC driven by the legendary driver, Petter Solberg and some notable results include a worthy second place in Rally Portugal and a hard-fought third in Greece in the talented hands of the Norwegian ace.
The FIA Gold Book also notes entries during the 2008 season in the Rally Acropolis and Rally Finland with the up and coming Mads Ostberg at the wheel. Mad's continued to campaign this car in two rounds of the 2010 season at Rally Finland (7th) and Wales Rally GB (9th).
In private hands in more recent times, our enthusiastic vendor has owned this very special car for the past four years and he has clearly cherished it under his caring ownership. FT56 SRT has enjoyed significant recent expenditure with ex-Prodrive employee and model expert, Graham Sweet, who has rebuilt the engine, Jason Bridge the gearbox and WRC Spares the turbo returning this important rally car to full health and ready to do what it was designed for. We understand that the car has only covered a few bedding-in miles since.
On a separate, rather more poignant note, this particular Impreza was demonstrated at the Goodwood Festival of Speed in 2007 by the late, great Colin McRae and, sadly, was to become the last car he ever drove in public.
Offered with a decent spares package (list available upon request), this amazing S12B (#014) continued to be developed during the whole of the 2007 season and with Subaru having decided during 2008 that this was to be their last year and turning off the financial taps, it's fair to assume that #014 is likely to be one of the most technologically advanced Impreza's ever made.
Driven by some famous names, this car has real provenance and ticks all the boxes as a true collector's car, either to cherish as part of a collection of WRC cars or better still, apply some graphics, find a crew, and return to the Welsh forests.

Can you help?
Daisy's Managing Director Derek Prince is teaming up with peers Marshall Tilby (Totally Workwear Chairman), Peter Scrivener (Loadex Hire General Manager) and Garth Munroe (Southwest Solid Surfaces Director) to take part in the 2015 Variety Creative Car Cruise taking place 19th – 22nd March to raise funds for Variety WA to help assist kids in need.
Derek and his team will be driving two vintage cars from Bunbury to Collie over the four-day cruise. There will be up to 40 cars participating in the popular annual event.
Huge thanks goes to many major Daisy suppliers have already kindly donated to the cause.
Before setting off on his journey, here's what Derek has to say:
- The main reason you're participating? A business colleague knew I like my classic muscle cars and after he completed the event last year we spoke about the Variety cause and the opportunity to put something back into the community while still doing something we loved… the whole concept really appealed so thought I'd get involved for the first time this year.
- So what's the plan? We plan on having a bit of fun while raising money for sick, disadvantaged and special needs kids in WA.
- What type of car will you be in? The car is a beautiful old 70 Ford Falcon XW GT.
How much money do you aim to raise? As much as possible, many of our suppliers have come on board and donated. We have many thousands donated already which is so amazing to see for such a great cause! Follow our journey with photos and updates on the Daisy Facebook page.

The current draft of the long-awaited e-commerce law is expected to gain the approval of the Council of Ministers before the end of the year, according to a high-ranking official.
The draft has been under discussion for nearly two years, but it will soon be sent to the Council of Ministers, said Mao Thora, Secretary of State at the Ministry of Commerce.
He said the approval of the draft by a joint ministerial committee has been delayed because of the inclusion of the securities sector.
"We spent about six months discussing whether or not to include the securities market. Finally, we decided to include it because it is a sector that is now quite developed," Mr Thora said.
Mr Thora said he is unsure regarding the number of times the Council of Ministers will have to meet before approving the draft, but said he expects the law to be passed to the National Assembly before the end of the year.
The latest draft of the E-commerce Law has 12 chapters divided into 90 articles. It covers a wide range of topics, from credit and debit card usage to the use of online signatures to purchase goods over the Internet.
Drafts of the Competition Law and the Consumer Protection Law are now being reviewed by joint ministerial committees.

We called quarters with four different grains, and cast the circle with nonalcoholic beer. It was really nice to have sheltered outdoor space to do messy stuff like that. We invoked several harvest deities. We did some chants. We shared beer and bread.
Then we went indoors for the feast. That included chicken with rice and seeded wheat bread. We brought a jello mold for our contribution. Other folks brought peach cobbler, bread pudding, and buttermilk pie. \o/
We had a lot of fun.

*** No longer active on Swap Bot; may participate again in the future. ***
Hello! I'm 34 and a native and resident of thrilling suburban Colorado (USA), where I manage to live both more than a mile above sea level as well as underneath power lines without being bizarrely affected in any way, shape, or form.
My hobbies include diligently reading the ingredients on soup labels (we vegetarians have to do that), extolling the virtues of Marmite, bragging about my lack of gallbladder, and staring in prolonged reverence at the magnificent London Underground map. I also maintain a huge and elaborate collection of John Lennon fingernail clippings. No, wait ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ they confiscated that when├óŌé¼┬" But the rest is true!
At the age of 15 (quite a while ago now!), I discovered I have a complete and utter fixation with all things English and have subsequently visited England ten times so far. I get so excited there that sometimes I go into a state of Anglophilic rapture during which I tend to lick public objects (bridges, walls, castles, cathedrals, etc). It was also there that I acquired an English husband who is chief among my collection of souvenirs. I was an Anthropology major in college, and being married to an Englishman is therefore somewhat like being in the Bureau of Cross-Cultural Affairs (but more romantic).
My main craft hobby is card and envelope making (for mail art). As such, I have an almost scary addiction to collecting scrapbook paper and interesting paper items of all sorts (especially cool recycled, vintage, or offbeat stuff).
I am equally interested in all things related to this, such as notecards (blank inside), stationery (when spelled correctly :D ), ADORE stickers (please no teacher/reward type stickers; I already had those when I was 5, didn├óŌé¼Ōäót you? grin), colored or glittery pens and markers, washi/deco tape, paper punchouts, paper ephemera (especially vintage), Tim Holtz, Punch Studio, etc.
STAMPS - I absolutely LOVE when people use cool, old, or unusually shaped stamps on the mail they send me, and I will treasure the stamps forever. They will certainly not be wasted on me :)
Nature ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ trees, leaves, ferns, moss, hiking, the ocean, lighthouses, rain storms, thunder, lightning, tornadoes, spring, fall, wild rivers, seashells, national parks, waterfalls, fog/mist, aurora borealis, celestial (moon, sun, stars)
Travel ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ International, road trips, airmail theme, passport stamps, travel writing, unusual/offbeat travel, funny travel stories, recommendations or postcards of weird places to visit in your area/country (especially weird places to stay, such as caves and lighthouses). MAPS, old and new!
On a related note, if you├óŌé¼Ōäóre also interested in offbeat/funny travel, you might enjoy my blog (in particular, the two entries listed at the top of the page) :D
├óŌé¼┼ōI like to throw snow at cars├óŌé¼┬Ø ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ I have been collecting this phrase in various languages for a long time. I would love to receive this phrase in your native language, too!
UK ANYTHING :) Also a big fan of New Zealand and Oregon and the Pacific Northwest in general
London Underground (tube/subway)
History ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ Titanic (the real one), Victorian/Edwardian eras, American pioneers of the old west, vintage stuff, antiques, vintage cabinet cards from 1800s-1920 showing interesting or funny looking people, funny advertising from 1970 and prior (the older, the better!), castles, Santa Fe Trail, Oregon Trail, the Lewis and Clark Expedition, ancient Egypt, colonial era, medieval era, British royal family, the 1960s, brass rubbings, time travel, steampunk, crazy historical etiquette and customs, abandoned buildings, time capsules, wooden ships
Art ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ ├óŌé¼┼ōLady of Shalott├óŌé¼┬Ø by John William Waterhouse, Maxfield Parrish, ├óŌé¼┼ōOphelia├óŌé¼┬Ø by Sir John Everett Millais, and similar stuff, art of the Pacific Northwest, any cultural art
Haunted stuff ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ Ghosts, cemeteries, funerary art, macabre
Animals I like are - Owls, porcupines, hedgehogs, hummingbirds, sheep, giraffes, pelicans, peacocks, seahorses, turtles, frogs
Here's a big pile of random stuff I can't figure out how to categorize grin - 1960s/hippie stuff, Tabasco, Celtic stuff, Paganism, meditation, mandalas, zentangles, EMS/ambulance related, Clan McLeod stuff, vegetarian stuff
Fantasy ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ fairies, gnomes, mushrooms, mermaids
Cool calligraphy or handwriting (I don├óŌé¼Ōäót have any, do you? grin)
Music ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ Most Britpop as well as mostly Britpop! HUGE BEATLES FAN, Bastille, Oasis, Kula Shaker, Blur, Florence and the Machine, Coldplay, Radiohead, 1960s music, too many others to list

Colors ├óŌé¼ŌĆ£ Purple, green, and blue hues are my favorites, but I like all colors!
Sister Cities - Would love to do a private swap with anyone in or near one of our sister cities: Jinzhou, China --- Kyzylorda, Kazakhstan --- Mechelen, Belgium --- Chester, England --- Portsmouth, England --- Stade, Germany --- Sutherland Shire, Sydney, Australia --- Brest, France --- Takayama, Japan --- Nairobi, Kenya --- Karmiel, Israel --- Potenza, Italy --- Cuernavaca, Mexico --- Chennai, India --- Kunming, China --- Axum, Ethiopia --- Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia
If your city has a sister city in Colorado not listed above and you are interested in doing a swap, let me know!
I am utterly OBSESSED with the Lewis and Clark Expedition. I am also in love with Meriwether Lewis through time, although separated by over 200 years, LOL. Anything related you would care to send me would be most appreciated (ex. postcards from places they visited, souvenirs, ANYTHING).
If you are particularly inspired and send me anything handmade related to Lewis and Clark, you will have my undying devotion :D
Religious items, "country cute", anime, kawaii, Hello Kitty, Disney or anything animated or cartoony, dog stuff, feathers, vanilla or melon scented stuff, coupons, clothes (it's hard enough already even for ME to find clothes for me!), makeup, rings (unless adjustable), items containing meat/fish (vegetarian since 1995!), food/drinks (I love to try stuff, but not until we get to know each other; no one├óŌé¼Ōäós mom would approve of taking candy from strangers grin)
Other than these, I would be delighted with anything you send! I look forward to receiving your mail. Thank you very much! :)
To me, it is disappointing to receive tourist postcards showing a place you're not from or in the same state/country you are (unless they are places I have an interest in, like the UK and Oregon, listed within my profile). Please save those for someone else, if possible. I would, however, be delighted to receive a postcard from YOUR own location/state :)
Would be swell if you dropped me a little note with the swap, especially if you're from another country. Kind of disappointing to get something from, like, 8000 miles away and it just says the name of the swap!
One of the best things in life, to me, is to think I can cheer up a random person's day, somewhere in the world! Reading your profile and trying to pick something I hope will make you happy is very gratifying.
We're all in this life together :)

HI! :oP
Thank you for your lovely little package with the postcards, the envelope, and the shorthand, and for your note! ├óŌäó┬ź And I hope one day to be able to read the shorthand :) Need to get my books down off the shelf again someday and pick up where I left off. Thank you very much for everything!
Was wondering if you would like to do a swap anytime??? Let me know. I will swap a lot of things and it looks like you like a lot of the things that I do!! Welcome to Swap-Bot!!

I've decided to create a dedicated page for my YouTube videos in order to keep my blog clean and focused on written posts. The one exception will be when I post a natural perfume video review; this is Scent Hive after all.
Dilettante by Hiram Green
I received my sample of Dilettante this past June (which tells you how behind I am in my blog reviews) and indeed this was supposed to be a summertime post. The three listed notes of orange flower, petitgrain, and essential oil of orange suggest that this fruity floral perfume would sit perfectly in the pocket of a warm summer night, but this Dilettante has more to offer.
Flourish Natural Body Care (Video Review)
I have really been enjoying the haircare and bodycare products from Flourish which smell terrific and perform beautifully! If you find something that piques your interest, be sure to take advantage of the 20% discount code, scenthive. Also, be sure to subscribe to their newsletter as they have a very generous GWP coming up soon!
Balance EDP by Sigil Scent
What first struck me about Sigil Scent was its unique name. Sigil. As gleaned from the website, its name is derived from the Latin word sigillum or seal, "a unique sign infused with personal meaning". For Patrick Kelly, the creator of Sigil Scent, it signifies the ritual of applying fragrance in order to help set and guide your intention for the day.
Green Beauty Empties. Hits and Misses!
This is a long one! So grab a cup of tea and see what I've been using these past few months. Also, please let me know what you think of my new blog design. I know it's not earth shattering, but it's a change so I'm curious what you think. Thanks for watching.
The Boxwalla's August Beauty Box Review
I hope you enjoy this YouTube review of August's BoxWalla Beauty Box! This box included products from Odacite, Moss and Biodara, such wonderful green beauty brands. Watch for all the details and visit The Boxwalla if you'd like to subscribe to their October box!
Disclosure: This box was provided to me by the brand. All opinions are my own and I am not financially compensated for my reviews. Post does contain an affiliate link.
Los Feliz Botanicals Reviewed.
Los Feliz is a neighborhood in Los Angeles, not too far from where I went to college, so when the PR gal from Los Feliz Botanicals contacted me, my interest was instantly piqued. When I learned that Krystal Quinn Castro, the creator of LFB, studied with Mandy Aftel, my interest was piqued even more and I knew this was a line I needed to explore.
Favorites From Summer. The Extended Version.
Here's the video version of my summertime green beauty faves. View on to find out what else I have been using and loving these hot summer months, and what will be seeing me into the fall.
Five Favorites from Summer + Kjaer Weis Giveaway
As the summer starts winding down, I want to share what I have been reaching for day in and day out over these past few months. These are favorite products of mine, that meet the highest eco-standards, perform beautifully, and will continue to be in my rotation even when the weather starts getting colder.

Natural Rose Perfumes by Velvet & Sweet Pea and Lalun Naturals
Truth be told, I am not typically drawn to rose perfumes. It's not that I don't appreciate or even enjoy the scent of rose, I do. I actually love rose in body and skincare products, but in terms of perfumes being focused on rose, it's not what I seek out when perusing fragrances. Recently, I had the pleasure of trying out perfume samples from Lalun Naturals and Velvet & Sweet Pea's Purrfumery, and was quite surprised to be most impressed by their rose offerings.

The voting has really slowed, so I went ahead and closed the polls early, folks.
The first phase of our quest to identify WDW's "Most Coveted Deluxe Resort" has come to an end, and I would like to extend a sincere and hearty thanks to all of you who participated. I'm blown away by the response – and the hundreds of people that voted. Hundreds! THANK YOU!! Without further delay, here are the winners:
Group 1
206 votes
1 – Beach Club (95 votes)
2 – Bay Lake Tower (78)
3 – BoardWalk Inn (24)
4 – Old Key West Resort (9)
My sentimental vote, here, was Beach Club. We've stayed there twice with our son and his fiance for special occasions – this past New Year's Day and his 21st birthday – so it holds a special place in our family. In truth, my vote was for BoardWalk Inn, however. The room we had there on our visit in October for my 50th birthday was just that good. We really enjoyed the location. OK, we really enjoyed Leaping Libations and The Belle Vue Room. The bartenders, at both, are fantastic.
Group 2
213 votes
1 – Animal Kingdom Lodge (73 votes)
2 – Grand Floridian (70)
3 – Wilderness Lodge (64)
4 – Swan & Dolphin (6)
Incredibly close vote! I knew this would be a tough group, but to see that only nine votes separated the Top 3 is phenomenal. AKL was my vote. There was no doubt, for me. I just love zebras, giraffes, Boma, and the theming. We're angling to try Wilderness Lodge for the first time in 2013, and we're not huge fans of the Grand Floridian. We just feel it's a bit too stuffy for us. We want to relax on vacation – not feel like we have to "dress up" in our Sunday's finest. We've been to the Dolphin a couple of times, but it just can't compete with this bunch.
Group 3
216 votes
1 – Polynesian (155 votes)
2 – Contemporary (36)
3 – Yacht Club (20)
4 – Saratoga Springs (5)
Wow! Do you think we like the Poly? If Disney ever makes good on the rumors to do a major rebuild of this resort, we may all break down and cry. Contemporary is on our "To-Do" list. We do love California Grill, however. That, and the monorail, are this resort's biggest attractions for us.
Group 4
202 votes
1 – Animal Kingdom Villas – Kidani Village (77 votes)
2 – Beach Club Villas (75)
3 – The Villas at Disney's Wilderness Lodge (27)
4 – BoardWalk Villas (23)
Another very tight vote. A good result, from my view. As I said above, I have a fondness for both BC and AKL.
Next up? The Top 2 resorts from each of these four groups will compete to be included in our version of the "Final Four". Look for that in the next day or so.
Please leave your comments below. What do you think of the results? Did we get it wrong? Why? Feel free to "speak up"! I would love to hear from you!!

HDA is Gone for Good. Don't Expect to Get Paid.
Publishers not sheltered by a national distributor bad-debt agreement cannot expect to receive any money for product sold from HDA Inc., a distributor of specialty magazines and books to specialty stores.
"This is a great reason to keep distribution through your national distributor," a multi-title publisher commented. "Otherwise forget about getting paid for the product that you conceived of, created, published, paid for-and sold."
"They've continued to sell our magazine in their client stores the last 60 days, since they sent the WARN letter to their employees, since they laid everyone off, since they closed their doors," said a publisher of a large national specialty magazine. "They've been getting paid for it-we've sold 13,000 copies in that time. We won't get a penny of it. How is that fair?"
According to the WARN (Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification) Act letter, HDA's 1664 employees are to be let go in stages, based on the workers needed to complete the tasks involved in the liquidation of the company. Despite HDA's attempts to obtain the financing to continue the business, the bank pulled the plug. The business will shut down completely, with secured creditors getting a fraction of what is owed and unsecured creditors-read, publishers-getting nothing.
According to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch (February 27), HDA has sold its magazine unit to TNG, the largest wholesaler in North America. However, according to a national distributor executive, "The business hasn't landed yet." Magazines are still at the printer, waiting to be released to the specialty stores, including Lowes and Menards, which HDA exclusively serviced.
(UPDATE: Lowes has just announced that it has awarded its magazine business to TNG.)
"Ever since they closed their doors, HDA has continued to collect from Lowes," said one unhappy publisher. "Sales have continued to go through the register, checks have continued to be sent out. Only the suppliers aren't getting a penny. The secured creditors-the banks-are getting paid for our sales. The rest of us are left holding the bag."

Proof-of-Concept: A TerraGear Web Service (by F-JJTH)
| Work in progress
This article or section will be worked on in the upcoming hours or days.
See history for the latest developments.
As part of prototyping a TerraGear scenery build server, F-JJTH has started working on a proof-of-concept for a web-based TerraGear GUI/build service. This can use the precompiled-TerraGear packages created and provided by saiarcot895. We are currently looking for people interested in picking up this prototype to continue developing it over time. All the difficult bits are now in place (namely the TerraGear setup), as well as a compelling web-based interface. People interested in helping with this, should ideally have some web programming experience, for TerraGear specifics you can probably just get in touch with psadro_gm and papillon81 (or refer to the docs for starters). Also, we're hoping to also create Linux packages for the web interface, so that installation/updates can be just as easily handled using the deb/apt/ppa package manager.
Primarily, we are now looking for hosting, not just for the TerraGear setup itself (which should be fairly powerful), but also for those deb/apt packages. If you'd like to help with this, please get in touch via the forum.
Continue reading at TerraGear scenery build server...
Helicopter Missions
| Work in progress
This article or section will be worked on in the upcoming hours or days.
See history for the latest developments.
Continue reading at "Mission" for helicopters...
YASim Bug Fixes
As of April 4th, several bug fixes by Colin Howell have been merged into the "next" branch of FlightGear's source. As per issues #1400, #1423, and #1427, these are only small fixes in portions of code, but they still may have noticeable affects on YASim aircraft, including making the solver fail with some aircraft and making other aircraft perform better. Currently these fixes are loaded unconditionally, so there's no opt-in or opt-out system in place, meaning that we need you to help test as many YASim aircraft as possible. (Please note that these patches are only available with a latest binary, i.e. a nightly from Jenkins or a compilation from source, and a corresponding FGData clone.) Detlef posts, "I have tested the slat patch and the twist patch and found very little problems, in fact most cases I've seen saw an improvment. Of the 15 Aircraft I've tested the twist patch on, only two wouldn't start up at all" [1]. Having a large number of non-working aircraft in the next release would be undesirable, and would suggest that we need an opt-in system for such fixes, but if most aircraft work well it will be simpler to let the patches load unconditionally.
Please report aircraft that fail to work with latest FG (but that still work in 3.0, i.e. without the fixes) on the devel list or on the forums.
Links to ongoing discussion at the development list: [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]
Canvas GUI Progress
Random Buildings
Project Rembrandt
A number of Mac users have been reporting issues related to running Project Rembrandt (deferred rendering/shadows) on Mac OSX with ATI/AMD GPUS, we are now looking for Mac users to provide feedback on running Rembrandt on Mac OSX, required information includes errors and warnings shown during startup/runtime, but also screen shots showing any issues. Please see: Project Rembrandt#Mac Issues.
Canvas System
Tom has updated FlightGear 3.1 to remove a lot of unneeded OpenGL state changes. Depending on the GPU/driver this can lead to quite a noticeable performance improvement. For example, he was able to get from ~120ms down to ~45ms [9].
High Level Architecture
Usability Improvements
Creating your own keybindings
A common request is how to change keys to do different commands. FlightGear makes this as easy as editing an XML file, and possibly adding a parameter to point FG to the new XML file.
In general, the list of keyboard commands is stored in the property tree and is loaded at startup or when the menu option "Debug -> Reload input" is selected. The main list of commands is available in [10], but each aircraft can add/change its own bindings through its -set.xml file, and additional config files can do the same.
Continue reading Howto:Reassign keyboard keys...
Getting involved as a programmer
Unfortunately, most of the active FG developers are currently very overstretched in terms of the areas that they have ownership of, which is affecting how much can actually be done. Fundamentally we need more core devs.
If you are interested in contributing as a core developer, please see Howto:Start core development.
If you interested in other developing, i.e. not C++ but Nasal scripting and/or XML, there are some articles listed at Category:Popular Community Requests that have been suggested, but not fully or partially implemented, and are "mentored efforts". That means that the community is looking for a hand in implementing them -- help from you -- but will also have more experienced developers willing to help you, for example by having tailored tutorials or even code snippets written for you. As mentioned in each page, please get in touch if you would like to help with one of those projects. In comparison to C/C++, Nasal is simpler and easier to learn quickly. It also doesn't require recompiling, which means that you can test and develop changes with a standard FlightGear release, i.e. off of the main download page. As long as you can run FlightGear, you can also run Nasal code and contribute. Many tutorials covering a wide range of projects are listed at Nasal, so if you know a programming/scripting language already, or would like to try something new, go ahead: read, write, try and get involved! When it comes to Nasal scripting, playing around with different tutorials and code snippets is more important than being an experienced coder.
Of course, you're also free to work on whatever you want -- FlightGear as a community-driven doesn't tell people what to do, but welcomes any contributions from anybody, as long as they have acceptable quality and are free to be licensed under the GNU GPL. So if you have something you would like to contribute back to FlightGear, please get in touch! (Preferably using Gitorious for larger merge requests, and the forums or (core-) developer's mailing list to inform the developers of what you want to contribute back.) Changes contributed 6-8 weeks before a release will usually appear in the next release, so your changes can be spread across the world.
Release ChangeLog
This section lists changes committed this month that will be available in the next release, these will be copied to the release changelog shortly before a release (for each month), so that we hopefully get a comprehensive list of new features.
Interview with a contributor (NAME)
In each edition we have an interview with a contributor. Suggestions for possible questions are available on interview questions, you are invited to come up with new questions and interview ideas obviously! Anyone is free to write an interview (with him-/herself or others) for next month's newsletter! If you'd like to help interview a contributor or get interviewed, please do consider adding yourself to the list of interview volunteers! To keep this going and less awkward, we are currently trying to come up with the convention that former interviewees become next month's interviewers.
- How long have you been involved in FlightGear?
- What are your major interests in FlightGear?
- What project are you working on right now?
- What do you plan on doing in the future?
- Are you happy with the way the FlightGear project is going?
- What do you enjoy most about developing for FlightGear?
- Are there any "hidden features" you have worked on in FlightGear that new users may miss?
- What advice can you give to new developers who want to get started on their first aircraft/new feature/Nasal script?
More questions are being collected here: Interview questions.

The Northern-Italy ATC Controlled Area (NIATCA)
NIATCA was born between December 2013 and January 2014 to offer Air Traffic Control in Northern Italy and in the neighboring area. Initially it was an ATC project only for LIPA, LIPX, LSZS and LIMC; but then more airports have been added to the project to become what NIATCA is today.
Presently, its members' efforts allow you to enjoy professional services at the following airports:
- Verona Villafranca (LIPX)
- Milano Malpensa (LIMC)
- Aviano Air Base (LIPA)
- Samedan (LSZS)
- Trieste-Ronchi dei Legionari (LIPQ)
- Venezia Tessera (LIPZ)
ATC sessions take place throughout the week and are planned on Lenny's website. Airport briefings and links to charts are available on the forum.
For more informations, you can visit the project's Google+ page or its YouTube channel. The project is also searching for new members to extend coverage; current open positions are Torino Caselle (LIMF), Genova Sestri (LIMJ), Milano Linate (LIML), Bergamo (LIME), Treviso "San Angelo" (LIPH), Innsbruck-Kranebitten (LOWI), Bologna (LIPE), Bolzano-Dolomiti (LIPB), Base aerea di Rivolto (LIPI). If you want to contribute, just apply to become a member.
Candidates are required to:
- know ATC phraseology;
- know the English language (knowledge of Italian is a plus);
- be able to read charts and to let pilots follow real SIDs/STARs;
- be able to man their position(s) at least one/two hours a week.

And finally ...
Many people think that contributing to the FlightGear project requires writing C++ code or doing 3D modeling and that it takes lots of time, and therefore feel that they cannot contribute directly. Not so. There's a whole variety of ways to make a valuable and satisfying contribution to FlightGear without being a developer.
The Volunteer page is intended to provide a starting point for those wanting to contribute, but who don't know how. Of course, these are just suggestions. So if you have already a specific idea in mind, please do get in touch with the community to ask for feedback, using the mailing lists, forum or the IRC channel (chat).
Remember that work in non-development areas will be appreciated as much as developer contributions (or more!), because generally more visible to the end user.
If you'd like to learn more about getting your own ideas and features into FlightGear, check out Implementing new features for FlightGear.
If you are contributing to the core simulator, or an aircraft in the master repository, you should be part of the FlightGear-devel mailing list, which is the primary point of contact for all discussions regarding the development of the simulator. You may want to check out also Howto: Understand the FlightGear development process and Howto: Starting core development.
YASim looking for a new maintainer
|There are some pending merge requests to add some Yasim features, but we have an issue that since none of the current C++ developers own, or are experts in Yasim, we're reluctant to be the person who merges such changes, and potentially introduces subtle regressions.
Obviously this is chicken-and-egg, since no one can become expert enough in the code to become a maintainer :)
So, I'm more than happy to apply patches *providing* I can be convinced they are sane+reasonable from a pure code perspective (happy to help with that, too, if people are new to C++), and providing we have some assurance that a representative sample of yasim aircraft are unchanged or improved by the patch. Suggestions for that means in practice, are most welcome!Otherwise I worry, given the nature of the solver, we'll keep optimising the solver for some aircraft, and making other existing aircraft worse - until someone tests them, and announced that they're no longer working.[1]

|I am still broadly happy to answer questions if posed (as long as I remember enough to come up with a meaningful answer). Just cc: me if you do, because my
latencies here are measured in weeks.Bugs can always be fixed. What YASim needs is a maintainer, not really expertise per se. The latter comes from the former.[2]
