I just wanted to take a minute and tell my amazing wife MDI (@MDI_FYFC) just how much I Love her.
Ten years ago today I was able to marry greatest supporter, my rock, my best friend. I know that sounds cliché, but it's 100% true. If you are curious about how we came to be, you can hear "The Story Of Us" on Fearcast.
This magnificent woman walked into my life the first day of high school and I was mesmerized. I have been hooked ever since. It took awhile to bring her around, but I did it. We got together October 17, 1999 & six years later formed a bond that continues to strengthen with every passing day. Its been said it was one of the most epic wedding / receptions to go down in history (well, where we are from.) Here are some great memories from that day.
Danielle, you are my world. My day doesn't start until I have a "good morning" text buzz my phone. I knew from the first day I met you that you would be my wife. Your awe-inspiring ability to care for others cemented in my mind that you would be a great mom. And you have proven that with our two outstanding children. Through thick and thin we have stood together… Us against the world. One of the biggest reasons I think we have lasted is that we both come into this relationship without ego, and have had each others back. There were tough times in college, with money, time, being spread too thin. These things would have killed a relationship. But not ours. Any time one of us got down, the other was there, to pick them up… dust them off, and help get back in the ring of life. From the beginning we said if we go down; we are going down together and we are going down swinging.
Times have changed and many of the worries we had are gone, left is a foundation that is unshakeable. I couldn't have done it without you. I wouldn't be able to do the work I do if I didn't have total respect and belief that while I'm away my astonishing companion wasn't going to hold down the fort. She does an outstanding job, and I'm sorry if I don't say it enough. You do a phenomenal job at making sure the kids, house, pets, and Bobby are taken care of.
I know I'm rambling, it hurts that I have to be away on this day. But I am hoping that expressing my love for you in some sensational way will let you know just how much I absolutely love you. When I come home on the 30th be prepared. As soon as I see you, I'm going to pull you close and kiss you with everything I have.
I want to close out with the poem that I used to propose to you. The words still hold very true.

Sellers' Hedging Incentives at EPA's Emission Trading Auction
Dijkstra, Bouwe R.
Haan, Marco
Bouwe Dijkstra
Marco Haan
Cason (1993)argued thattheauction theEPAused in order to start the market for sulfur allowances, is not efficient. The set-up of the auction gives both buyers and sellers an incentive to understate their valuation of an allowance. In this paper, we show that the sellers' incentives are even more perverse than Cason suggested. In particular, we show that sellers have an incentive to set their ask price equal to zero, while simultaneously hedging their bets by submitting a positive bid. It is not possible to derive the Nash equilibrium for this set-up. If such an equilibrium exists, sellers either set only a positive ask price, or an ask price equal to zero, and a positive bid as well.

The cervical spine is the upper part of the spine comprising of the first 7 vertebrae. The vertebrae are separated from one another by shock absorbing pads called intervertebral discs. Over time, these natural shock absorbers wear out and degenerate due to aging, trauma or injury.
Find out more about Cervical Degenerative Disc Disease from the following links.
Cervical radiculopathy refers to neck pain that radiates to the shoulder and arm caused by injury or compression of a spinal nerve root in the neck region. Cervical radiculopathy is also referred to as nerve root impingement, nerve entrapment, or pinched nerve.
Find out more about Cervical Radiculopathy from the following links.
Cervical stenosis refers to narrowing of the spinal canal. Cervical stenosis causes neck pain which can radiate to the arms and hands and may also be associated with numbness or weakness of the arms. This may lead to cervical radiculopathy and cervical myelopathy. Cervical radiculopathy occurs due to injury to the cervical spinal nerves, as they exit the spinal canal.
Find out more about Cervical Stenosis from the following links.
The cartilaginous disc is made up of an outer fibrous layer called the annulus fibrosus, which surrounds an inner gelatinous core called the nucleus pulposus. The nucleus pulposus is well hydrated and acts as a shock absorber. Over time, the nucleus pulposus begins to dehydrate and become stiffer, losing its functionality as a shock absorber.

Kyphosis is a condition of abnormal curvature of the spine that causes rounding of the upper back or a hunchback. The thoracic portion of the spine normally has a "C"-shaped curve, but excessive forward curve in the spine leads to kyphosis.
Find out more about Kyphosis from the following links.
The first 7 vertebral bones on the spinal column form the cervical spine and are located in the neck region. The neck bears the weight of the head, allows significant amount of movement, and also less protected than other parts of spine. All these factors make the neck more susceptible to injury or other painful disorders.
Find out more about Neck Pain from the following links.
Pseudarthrosis is an unhealed broken bone, also known as nonunion. Usually, damaged or broken bones heal over time by forming new bone tissue connecting the damaged pieces of the bone. However, if the damaged bone fails to heal then it is called 'nonunion' or 'pseudarthrosis'. Pseudarthrosis refers to the formation of a false bone due to improper healing.
Find out more about Pseudarthrosis/Nonunion from the following links.
The sacroiliac joint is one of the large joints in the body and is formed by the connection of the sacrum and the right and left iliac (pelvic) bones. The sacroiliac joints have small amount of movement and transmits all the forces of the upper body to the lower body. The sacrum is the triangular-shaped bone at the bottom of the spine, below the lumbar spine.
Find out more about Sacroiliac Joint Dysfunction from the following links.
Scoliosis is a condition characterized by abnormal curvature of the spine causing a deviation to one side. It causes a physical deformity making the spine look like the letter "C" or "S" instead of the letter "I". Scoliosis can affect either the mid or the lower back but the scoliosis of the mid back is more common. Scoliosis can occur at any age.

South America asks FIFA to delay World Cup 2022 qualifiers: CONMEBOL
Asuncion: The governing body of South American football has asked FIFA to delay its qualifying matches for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar because of the global new coronavirus pandemic.
"The South American teams risk not being able to count on players they have picked and who play in Europe because they, arriving from countries with a high level of contagion, could be placed in quarantine," CONMEBOL said in a letter expressing the position of its 10 member countries. - AFP

How basic research on jellyfish led to an unexpected scientific revolution
By Andy Murdock, UC Newsroom Monday, November 13, 2017
Credit: University of California
In 2007, researchers at UC San Diego watched breast cancer cells migrate in real time. In 2009, scientists at UC Davis and Mount Sinai School of Medicine captured video of HIV spreading between immune cells. Biological processes that were once hidden from us can now be lit up like a firefly, and it's all possible thanks to an experiment that was tossed down the drain.
In 1960, Osamu Shimomura wasn't trying to revolutionize science — if he had been, he might not have started by studying jellyfish. Shimomura was a young researcher with a simple question: What made the crystal jelly, Aequorea victoria, glow bright green when agitated?
His attempts to isolate a luminescent luciferase enzyme from the jellyfish were only partially working. After various tweaks in the lab, he was only able to produce a low glow from samples isolated from the jellyfish, so he dumped the samples into a sink to clean up for the day. When the fluid hit the sink, there was a sudden bright blue flash.
Shimomura quickly found that it wasn't the sink itself, but sea water — specifically the calcium in the sea water — that reacted with the samples from the crystal jelly to create the blue flash. But there was a further mystery: Crystal jellies glow green, not blue.
Shimomura hypothesized that there was an additional compound in the jellyfish that was absorbing the blue light and then emitting green light. This compound turned out to be a unique protein that Shimomura named Green Fluorescent Protein, "GFP" for short.
A flash of brilliance
In the mid 1980s, Martin Chalfie of Columbia University was working with transparent roundworm, C. elegans, attempting to study where certain genes were expressed in the worm. By that time, finding genes in an organism's DNA was getting much easier, but figuring out what the gene was responsible for, and where the gene was expressed, was quite challenging.
After attending a lecture that happened to mention GFP, Chalfie had a moment of inspiration: Because GFP is a protein, he could insert the DNA sequence that encodes for GFP into the roundworms' DNA, and have them express the glowing protein along with any gene he was studying. The glow would serve as a marker to show where genes were being expressed.
Chalfie's method worked. Suddenly, invisible processes were made visible, opening up a new world of biological and medical research.

While GFP opened the door, it had limitations. It faded too quickly for some research, and it only came in one color. Roger Tsien, a biochemist at UC San Diego, took GFP and developed new variations that were brighter and glowed in an array of different colors, which Tsien endowed with whimsical names, like "Monomeric banana" and "Tandem dimer tomato." Having an array of colors of GFP allowed researchers to observe multiple processes at the same time, with higher precision than ever before. Researchers at Harvard used the multicolor approach to map individual neurons of mouse brains, creating an iconic image known as the "brainbow."
In 2008, Shimomura, Chalfie and Tsien shared the Nobel Prize for the discovery and development of GFP. In an era marked by increasing focus on applied research, it's worth remembering that a scientific revolution started with basic research, agitated jellyfish and an experiment that was tossed down the drain.

Is it really possible to live a zero-waste life?


Federal policy toward natural gas prices is once again the subject of national debate. Thought to be settled once and for all by the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA), it reemerged as an issue in 1981. The proximate causes of the renewed controversy included candidate Ronald Reagan's campaign promise to seek wellhead price decontrol, and the Reagan administration's attempts (until March 1982) to find a workable decontrol proposal. But the wellsprings of the problem go deeper than this, to the history of gas price regulation, to changes in energy markets since 1978, and to serious defects in the NGPA itself.
The current debate over the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) has three components: 1. Is the NGPA likely to achieve the goals Congress established for it in 1978? 2. Is the NGPA likely to lead to an extension of controls beyond 1985? If so, what are the consequences of such an extension? 3. What are the costs and benefits of alternatives to the NGPA?
A brief comment about the title given to this presentation. If you know the gas industry at all, you know that no one dares to speak for anyone else. Even within Tenneco, we look at natural gas deregulation from several points of view: Tenneco Oil is the country's fifteenth largest producer of natural gas, and it is the only one of the top 20 oil companies that derives more revenue from sales of natural gas than from crude oil.
Over the past nine or so years, the United States has focused a large portion of its national attention on energy concerns. Indeed, the world economy is in the midst of an economic revolution over the value of one of its most important inputs. A new economic reality-that once cheap energy sources that fuel the world economy are becoming more and more expensive-has forced much of the world, and especially the United States, to reevaluate its policies on energy sources and uses.
A theme that runs through the long, convoluted history of natural gas regulation is the seemingly inexorable expansion of government intervention. Regulation has spawned further regulation; soon after one regulatory gap was filled, another appeared. Municipal franchising and price regulation of gas distributors led to state oversight of intrastate gas transmission, which prompted federal regulation of interstate transmission, followed by control of interstate affiliated field prices and later interstate independent field prices. Finally, the Natural Gas Policy Act of 1978 (NGPA) extended federal jurisdiction to all intrastate field sales.


ClassicTone-560 by TriTone Digital is a Virtual Effect Audio Plugin. It functions as a VST Plugin, an Audio Units Plugin, an RTAS Plugin and an AAX Plugin.
ClassicTone-560 is a true-to-the-original recreation of one of the best sounding graphic EQs ever made. These graphic EQs are found in consoles and lunch boxes around the world and are prized for their punchiness and girth.
ClassicTone-560 provide amazing sonic performances, thru convolution of 'samples' from the hardware, made using hi-end mastering converters and cables.
is fantastic emulation of the famous 1970s API 560 EQ. This convolution (authentic IRs), 10-band, graphic re-creation is extremely easy to use and helps to create a big, fat, punching sound — guitars and drums (esp. snares and toms) really come to life. The CT560 provides sweeping band corrections that make it perfectly suited for mixing duties and global mastering enhancement.
Straight forward, simple, yet powerful interface band sliders.
Will my g/f kill me if I get TriTone's bundle?
This virtual version of the API 560 is extremely musical and great sounding. It's priced right and is produced by an excellent developer. I highly recommend it to any eMusician, producer, sound designer, film and game scorer, DJ, etc., who is looking for a vintage EQ that delivers! When used wisely, this plugin provides sonic glue for audio tracks. Tommy Zai gives ClassicTone-560 two vintage thumbs up. Thank you, TriTone Digital for developing a sweet EQ.
There are many great EQs on the market right now. Some of them are clean some of them colorful some of them emulate old vintage hardware etc.
BUT this Tritone Digital ClasicTone-560 is something very special you can not find anywhere else. It does not emulate any vintage gear, IT IS a vintage gear right in your computer. That means it sounds and behaves the same as piece of hardware. And what hardware do I mean? No less than API560 10-band graphic equalizer which is probably the best sounding EQ ever made.
I made a lot of comparisons to all major competitive emulations but ClassicTone-560 wins hands down in terms of smoothness, fullness and overall character.
I strongly recommend this baby to all of them who are looking for creamy sounding and easy to use plugin from the high-end class.

Jack McQuoid (1910-1985): Home & Family [Part 1]
Shauna Hughes April 10, 2019 Home & Family, Jack McQuoid (1910-1985)
'Of course one's life in this world does not begin as a blank new page. Before the teachers and the preachers start to tell us why we are here, we have already carried into life influences from past generations. Adequate or inadequate it is our parents who are our first teachers. For them it is a terrible responsibility, whether or not they are aware of it.'
'ONE MAN IN HIS TIME.'
In order to give his readers a better idea of his family's social standing, Jack McQuoid writes about his family ancestry.
More specifically, he details his father's life. Jack's father James McQuoid was 'born north of Belfast in the port of Larne in County Antrim.' (4) Jack's grandfather John McQuoid, 'was lost at sea in his early twenties…in the early eighteen seventies.' (5) James McQuoid was only a one year old whenever his father was presumably dead. This would have been an unimaginable amount of financial pressure for Jack's grandmother Mary Jane Thompson: 'My grandmother with fateful resignation made preparations to earn a living for herself and her one year-old-son – my father.'(5)
John McQuoid and Mary Jane Thompson's Marriage certificate, 1876, accessed from Ancestry.co.uk
In those days, men were expected to be the only workers of the household. Mary was put into an unusual situation as she was a first time mother that had to come to terms with coming into the working class world.
'She eventually found a job as a sewing-maid at the residence of old Colonel McNeill situated near Larne Harbour.'(5) It is admirable that Mary stayed strong for her son James and carried on with her everyday life rather than being consumed by the loss of her husband. If she had not stayed strong James may have ended up in an orphanage if she hadn't found work to support him.
Mary remarried 7 years after her marriage to John McQuoid to Hugh Close, 'He was a widower with two sons.'(6) It is not surprising that Mary had remarried, and it put her and her son James in a more stable financial position.
Mary Jane Thompson's second marriage certificate to Hugh Close, 1883, accessed from Ancestry.co.uk
'My grandmother and he had a second family after their marriage – two sons and four daughters. That would make a family of nine children in all that Mr Close had to support.'(6) Jack writes with the assumption that his grandmother Mary would have left her job to become a fulltime housewife. It puts Hugh Close as the sole supporter of the household.
If this assumption is correct, that would have been an enormous amount of pressure upon Hugh Close. Nine children makes a large household to try and support on one salary.
'I think my father… helped with the aid of his two half-brothers to bring up the six younger children.'(6) The three eldest boys of the household presumably took up the role of supporting the younger siblings.
This is a huge sacrifice for these three young men to dedicate their youth to the upbringing of their family. As Humphries notes, 'Only the most privileged boys experienced a childhood without want' (2010, 97). The pressures of having to provide for their siblings may have been the contributing factor as to why Jack's father's half-brothers went off to work at sea for hopes of a better life.
There was not much opportunity in those days of a decent occupation unless it came along with considerable risk such as going to sea. This risk is sadly evident with the loss of his grandfather John McQuoid.
Jack not only speaks of his father's family but also that of his mother's: 'Thomas Gilmore, my maternal grandfather was a shoemaker who married the daughter of a well to do Fermanagh farmer. Hoey was my grandmother's maiden name.'(7) He is very precise when it comes to speaking of family members as he always ensures to include their full names.
(A famished boy and girl turning up the ground to seek for a potato to appease their hunger. — Illustrated London News, February 20, 1847.)
He tells an interesting story about his Grandmother as a young child during the Famine in 1846 who parts with some of her family's food to a homeless mother and child. 'My grandmother stood trembling as the scales moved up and down and then came to rest – weights and meal balanced equally.'(7) Jack speaks of the hardships that both sides of his grandparents family endured in their early lives.
Irish emigrants leaving Queenstown for New York, (1874), Library of Congress, Washington
It seems that many of his mother's sisters emigrated in pursuit of better life prospects. 'Two of my mother's sisters boarded immigrant ships for America when they were teenage girls.'(8) Even 'another sister went to Glasgow'(8). It is clearly evident that these working-class Irish people had no hopes of a comfortable life in Ireland and ventured elsewhere for stability.
Ship Europa (built 1848) voyaged from Liverpool to New York.
Upon this recollection of stories that had been passed down from his mother and father he reflects on his own upbringing, 'I never in my early childhood seemed to have been deprived of good care, good food, and good clothes.'(9) Jack seems to write with a feeling of gratefulness that he has not endured such trials and tribulations in his early life.
Jack established his parents' upbringing as a way to portray to his readers an understanding of how grateful he is of his own comfortable upbringing. 'While adult children's reflection on fathers' wage labour acknowledged breadwinning as a duty, it could also be imagined as an act of devotion.' (Strange, 2012, 1012) Jack reflects on his father's labour from childhood in a sense of appreciation that he always fought for a better life that he provided to Jack.

"Well, I wish I had read the previous reviews before coming here.
Menu board mentions prices for massage and minimum tip, (950 total) but after the massage you will also be told to pay an additional 500 Baht for "room rental" (room is a store cupboard with a mattress and shower). This may have been a scam being operated between the receptionist and my masseur, but either way, this is embarrassing for Copa, as there's no way I would ever set foot in any hotel which isn't transparent about charges.
