You never know what you'll find in the Abyss
By Rachael Vorwerk

The depths of the ocean are one of Earth's most inaccessible and unexplored environments, and getting a sneak peek into what lives down there can provide great insight into managing marine diversity. Our scientists have been hard at work at sea on the RV Investigator and in our Hobart lab, teaming up with the Museums Victoria crew to examine fishes collected during the Sampling the Abyss voyage. Their research has been circulating the news, thanks to one quirky guy: the Faceless Fish.
So what exactly is it like to bring up a trawl that may shed light (for the first time ever) on some of the weirdest Alien-like creatures known to humankind? We spoke to Alastair Graham, Fish Collection Manager, to get the answers to some of our burning questions.
The dragon fish. The stuff of nightmares, or, the abyss.
Firstly, it's quite a long wait. After mapping the sea floor for a good spot to put the net down, it then takes a measly three hours or more for the net to get down to the ocean floor (4000 metres to 5000 metres below). And once the trawl is brought back up? It's a mixture of excitement and curiosity, tinged with fear. That's for two reasons: fear that the net could be damaged due to the rough seabed, and the fear of the unknown.
The Faceless Fish, a deep-sea fish with no visible eyes, was rediscovered in 2017 during an Investigator voyage.
The latter applies when you catch a species without a face. According to Alastair, 'Nearly every time we put a net down to those depths, it comes back up with some species we're seeing for the first time – at least in Australian waters. It's very exciting.'
Because the animals live at such great depths, the move towards the surface can cause many fishes to look quite different to what they would at their home in the depths. (Except for the terrifying dragon fish which would look scary wherever it is). We asked Alastair what he might be thinking in those moments waiting for the trawl to be brought up to the surface.
'Of course, these animals aren't putting good looks at the top of the list by any means,' says Alastair. 'They probably wouldn't win any beauty pageants'.
The abyss is a dark place, with no sunlight – so the need for survival is their ultimate priority – not looking attractive to a mate. '[Attractiveness] isn't as important down there', he muses. 'Especially when some fishes don't even have a face!'
The faceless fish is a bizarre species because it does have eyes, however the flesh of the head covers them. 'Many abyssal fish often have larger eyes to be able to see in their very light-limited environment.' According to Alastair, there's still a lot of information to discover about the faceless fish and everything else lurking in the deep abyss.
Art meets science. Photographing the specimens we find on our voyages is important to capture the colour, size and form of fishes before they are preserved and stored. Image: Asher Flatt/Marine National Facility.

All though it may be all exciting and such but I do feel sorry for the fish being dragged up from that depth to the surface, must be terrible for them.

This is such an interesting and exciting journey. I agree wondering what might be trawled would be exhilarating but also nervewracking! It is wonderful to read about the new marine life perhaps not all of us would be up for the actual thrill of the unexpected! A wonderful research venture all the best exploring the abyss!

In this time of challenges on all fronts how do we move forward with strength and courage to do something to make the world a better place for everyone?
There are so many problems in our country: racism, misogyny, the discrepancy between rich and poor, immigrant children being separated from their parents, environmental degradation, climate change, a government and nation so divided that we cannot listen to each other and work together, and most recently the nomination of a man for the Supreme Court who has been accused of assaulting a woman.
In the face of such challenges our feelings may shift from feeling angry about what is wrong, to feeling completely overwhelmed and powerless to do anything, to shutting down and blocking out the issues. We want to act to do something to make things better but often the path is not clear and we may feel paralyzed. Listening to the "other side" becomes intolerable.
How do we find the clarity we need to face the problems, to recognize and name our values and to act to make a difference without exhausting ourselves and burning out? How can we be strong enough to listen to others who think differently than we do so that we can work together?
We must go deep within to heal our distress, to accept what is and to be able to act in a loving way. Actions arising from anger and distress will not be as effective as those that arise from a sense of connection and love. Actions that come out of anger will exhaust us, but actions coming from a sense of love and care will sustain and empower us.
Where do you find that peace, that source of deep healing that eases the pain and brings a sense of comfort and clarity?
In late September, I drove to the mountains for a wedding. As I approached the foothills and saw the mountains in the distance, I was filled with an indescribable feeling of coming home, of comfort, wonder, and awe. My heart opened, my breathing became deeper and I felt my muscles relax. I have often had this experience while in nature, but this time just the sight of the mountains brought it up. I was surprised by the unexpected but very welcome response.
I find that healing in other places as well—meditation, being with my granddaughter, silent worship, being with loved ones in companionable silence or deep sharing. The common thread is communion—with nature, with others, with something bigger than myself that some might call God. I believe we are all connected. We are all part of a whole whose core is love and when we take time to stop and notice that, it is deeply healing. Our world is a beautiful and miraculous place and we can find people with similar values and work together to make a difference.
Where do you find healing? Where do you find sustenance? What brings you that deep sense of connection? We must all make time, lots of time, to find those experiences, we do it for ourselves for our loved ones and for the world.
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky. Are also on the faces of people going by.

Q: Como fazer um @foreach com Relacionamento de Tabelas no Laravel Estou utilizando o freamwork Laravel onde no meu banco de dados tenho 2 tabelas:
 -> reclamantes (com o campo 'id','reclamante','tipoacoes_id')
 -> tipoacoes (com os campos 'id', 'nome')
Ambos já estão com o Relacionamento na Model Reclamante
public function tipoacao(){
    return $this->hasMany(TipoAcoes::class, 'id', 'tipoacao_id');
}

Controller:
public function edit($id){
    $titulo = "Edita Reclamante";
    $reclamantes = $this->reclamante->find($id);
    return view('admin.reclamante.create-edit', compact('titulo','reclamantes'));
}

Mas não estou conseguindo trazer os dados com campo 'nome' da tabela 'tipoacoes'
dentro de um imput select
     <div class="input-group col-xs-12">
          <select class="form-control" id="tipoacao_id" name="tipoacao_id" required value="{{$reclamantes->tipoacao->nome or old('$reclamantes->tipoacao->nome')}}">
               @foreach($reclamantes as $Rel)
                    <option value="{{$Rel->tipoacao->id}}">{{$Rel->tipoacao->nome}}</option>
               @endforeach
            </select>

A: Na sua controller creio que a sua consulta está sendo feita de maneira errada. O $this faz uma referência à classe atual, no seu caso, a controller. Então o $this->reclamante não resultaria em nada. O correto seria:
public function edit($id){
    $titulo = "Edita Reclamante";
    $reclamantes = Reclamante::find($id);
    return view('admin.reclamante.create-edit', compact('titulo','reclamantes'));
}

Não se esqueça de declarar o use da Model Reclamante.
Após essa consulta, dentro de seu $reclamantes terá a referência ao tipoacao, então basta percorrer essa opção dentro de sua variável $reclamantes e obter os campos.
@foreach($reclamantes->tipoacao as $tipoacao)
    <option value="{{$tipoacao->id}}">{{$tipoacao->nome}}</option>
@endforeach

Lembrando que estou assumindo que esses são os atributos e nomes criados em sua Model.

A: O problema é que você relacionou errado no seu Model. Você alterou a ordem dos parâmetros.
public function tipoacao(){
    return $this->hasMany( TipoAcoes::class, 'tipoacao_id', 'id'); // 1º parâmetro é a classe que vai relacionar, o 2º é a foreign_key e o 3º é a local_key
}

Dá uma olhada na documentação para tirar qualquer dúvida.

Home Drama The Killing – Executive producer Veena Sud on using the Danish series...
The Killing – Executive producer Veena Sud on using the Danish series as a blueprint
Judy Sloane
Apr 13th, 2011 @ 2:28 pm EDT
Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) and Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) © 2011 AMC
Veena Sud was a writer and executive producer on the successful TV series Cold Case. Her new show The Killing is based on the hugely popular Danish television series Forbrydelsen. It tells the story of the murder of a teenage girl, Rosie Larsen, and the subsequent police investigation, following three distinct stories, the detectives assigned to the case and their suspects, the victim's grieving family and the local politicians connected to the case.
I spoke with Veena Sud at the TV press day for the series.
Does this case get solved by the end of the season?
Producer Veena Sud © 2011 AMC
This season is 13 episodes. And every episode is one day in the life of this investigation, and the life of this family, and the life of this political campaign. At this point we're going to organically follow the story, and whether or not it gets solved at the end of the season is a mystery.
Some shows, particularly with Scandinavian roots like Wallander, have that feeling of being always gray, always dark. You moved this to Seattle; it looks like you were able to get that same feeling.
We shot in Vancouver posing for Seattle. And Vancouver and Seattle are very much like Copenhagen: Close to the top of the world, incredibly beautiful, dark, brooding skies. And it was the perfect match for the tone of the show and for capturing the essence of the story we're telling.
Is there a difference between a Scandinavian sensibility and an American sensibility in terms of storytelling? Were there any cultural things you had to adapt to make it more palatable for Americans?
I don't know if it was a cultural difference, but as far as the storytelling challenge and adapting it to the American screen was we live in a society that is incredibly violent, and much more violent than Denmark. Amber Alerts are the norm on the highway, and a missing teenager in a major American city never makes news.
So our biggest challenge was to make us as Americans care about this young girl over a very long course of time.
Is the Danish series still ongoing?
I believe it's still ongoing.
So the crime hasn't been solved yet in the Danish series either?
Sarah Linden (Mireille Enos) and Stephen Holder (Joel Kinnaman) © 2011 AMC
In the Danish series they solve their crime and they've moved on to another crime.
Then will you be departing radically from that series in terms of who the killer actually is since I guess people could watch that series and figure it out?
We are using the Danish series as a blueprint, but we are diverging and creating our own world, our world of suspects and, potentially, ultimately who killed Rosie Larsen.
What are the differences in the characters from the Danish version?
The Danish version has the same worlds. We have taken the worlds and adapted them to America. So in the Danish version there is a political race, there is the story of the female homicide detective and her partner, and the suspects in that world, and the family of the victim. We have taken that paradigm and adapted it to this story.
The differences were we have to be very specific about American politics. So it's a mayoral race. Their female homicide detective was a very interesting, compelling, strong character. And I love the qualities of the Danish version. And we have been so blessed with Mireille Enos who has come in with all her own strengths and qualities, and really created a deeper back story for Sarah Linden.
The series is about the killing of a minor. Some scenes are very graphic, how do you walk the line between scaring people and respecting human life?
Episode 1.03 - Mayoral Candidate Darren Richmond (Billy Campbell), Jamie Wright (Eric Ladin) and Gwen Eaton (Kristin Lehman) © 2011 AMC, Photo by James Dittiger
As someone who has worked on and written for cop dramas for a while now, the most important thing in the show was to not pornographize murder, and to see the real cost and the real toll when a child is lost. What you saw on the clip was incredible graphic, and incredibly heartbreaking.
We're not spending time looking at a dead child's body and just analyzing that; we're spending time with all the people who have lost her, and the impact of this loss on her mother, on her siblings, on her father.
What's it like to identify your daughter at the morgue, what's it like to make breakfast for her younger brothers the next morning, what do you tell them? And when I was doing research for the pilot I spent a lot of time with parents who had lost their children, expressly for the purpose of telling this story in a way it was authentic and respectful, in a way that I think a lot of television isn't about murder victims.
Can you talk about casting Mireille Enos?
It was so magical. It was understandably the toughest role to cast on this show. And we went through a very thorough and long process.
There was this one moment in the audition where Mireille was reading the lines, and she was Sarah Linden. I saw her in that field with that dark, brooding sky, and I knew it was her.
There can be grumblings about serialized shows, writers not giving a credible answer, and an answer at all by the end of a certain season. You've already said you don't know if this will be solved by the end of the first season, is that a way of engaging the audience?
For me it's about telling a story in a way that's really compelling, and that we are able to go really deeply into the world of the suspects and the victim's family, and the larger world of what is going on politically in the city of Seattle.
So there is no kind of conscious device about the first season, second season, it's just telling the story day by day in a way that when the story ends, it ends.

This past Saturday night, my beloved dog of ten years died. He was probably one of the best dogs in the world. Of course, any dog owner would probably say the same about their own dog. He was a huge blessing to me, especially when I was all alone at an all-time low within my life. His comfort, warmth, playful personality and willingness to always be a welcoming friend was exactly what I needed, many times over. He always seemed to be that same energetic puppy throughout his entire life, even though he was currently reaching the age of twelve. His recent injury brought him down very quickly, and the unwillingness to go on became evident.
He lived a good life. The blessing that he was to not only me before meeting my wife and kids, but also to them for the last seven years, will not soon be forgotten. What a great experience it was to have our little Buster around to bring us such joy.
Grieving is something that we experience when something really hurts, and the death of a loved can be one of those devastations. We think about the "never coming back" aspect, the many deep emotional ties that we had with them and, many times, the "what ifs." We think about how we could have done something differently while they were still alive that could or would have, somehow, prevented some sort of outcome. Sometimes we count up all of the things that we did wrong that had somehow hurt the person. We cry over their absence. We toil within our emotions, trying to comfort ourselves. We break down and weep at the oddest times.
The processes of grieving are never the same for any of us. There are so many aspects and dynamics. So many ways within the relationship that we had with the lost, intertwined with ourselves, shape the ways in which we grieve.
I had breakfast with my second cousin yesterday. He is twenty years older than me. My late father was his cousin. As we were spending the time together, catching up after our twenty-year hiatus, the topic of my father had surfaced quite a few times. It was a great morning spending time talking about the good qualities of my dad. As many know from my writings, my father and I never really had a relationship, and the little that we did have was usually one filled with bitterness and discontent. So, it was nice hearing about the funny and interesting experiences my cousin and dad had once shared. At times though, my cousin had apologized for telling me these stories about the experiences he and my father had shared. He was concerned about how the stories may have appeared as if he was rubbing in the happiness he and my dad had shared together, as if I was looking at it as, "good for you" type situations. I assured my cousin that I had not thought that at all, and I believe it was because he had known about the rocky relationship my father and I had while also considering the grieving I may have still been going through. I was actually glad to hear some of the good things about my dad. I knew he was a good man in many ways, but, unfortunately, I only had the opportunity to mostly see his negatives.
My cousin had to hold back the tears at times. He was so sorry for me several times throughout our long breakfast. The grief was evident in both of us. Not only were we both going through our own personal battles of loss: my father, his cousin and my dog of the night before, but we were also talking about the many things that tugged at our heartstrings. We also did a lot of laughing and held each other up with encouragement. We shared the personal wisdom we had both gathered directly from pain.
Pain is something that hurts us deeply, but it is through pain that we grow in the direction of strength. Throughout Scripture, I have read the stories of Old Testament, as well as the witnessing of Christ and Paul, and have observed how pain brought about discomfort, finding later that the same pain brought about endurance and strength. It gives me great comfort knowing that my Lord also knows these pains that we endure.
I don't really know what my cousins' beliefs are when it comes to our Lord, but I do know that he has some sort of belief in Jesus. In my personal faith, I bring every trial to the foot of the cross. Each painful experience is, fervently, given to the Lord in multiple ways. When I feel as though I cannot go on anymore, the power of prayer and meditation cleanses me of all calamity. He strengthens me and provides the hope that I so desperately need. He gives me comfort within the knowing of the trial being only temporary. Even when it hurts so incredibly bad, whatever "it" is, I rest assured in His provision.
I praise God this morning for the blessings that I, so, do not deserve! Oh, how our Lord delivers!
I pray this morning that if you are grieving, to let yourself grieve. Don't beat yourself up within the many stages and varying changes. I pray that you give it all to God, and find refuge within His peace. When our personal, fleshy peace is out of whack, may we always remember that He sustains. He is always with us, and He is completely aware of all that grieves us. He is the refuge that cannot be found within the world. As we try to fight our way through this life, desperately searching for the things to mend the painful wounds, may we always remember that our Lord Jesus Christ has overcome the world, and He is the One who mends. May we keep our eyes towards the life without suffering in the world to come.
Again, so sorry for the loss of Buster. He has crossed the rainbow bridge and you are left to mourn. I am sure that God will let our furry family meet us again.
Sorry for your loss Damon. Our pets become so much a part of our lives it's hard to let them go. Our dog recently took a nasty fall down the steps and suffered some aches and pains. This winter has been extremely hard on him with all the deep snow. There have been so many times when I thought he was going to die, but he seems to be made of steel. I know it will be hard when he finally goes to dog heaven, or wherever they go. He's getting his pep back now that the sun is out more. He will be twelve this year. Hugs to you for your loss.
I certainly hope so. Thank you for your kindness.
I am sorry for your loss. I know how it is to lose a loved one, be it a pet or a family member. I have been through both. You are right about giving it to God. He is the one who brings healing and makes us alright. Stay strong in the Lord, man. Be blessed.
We are never promised the future. I'm just happy for the times we did get to spend with him and the fact that he is no longer suffering. Thank you for your condolences.
Amen, Kevin. You stay strong too. We have to give all in this life to Him. Blessings bro.

New Hoboken Flood Map: FEMA Best Available Flood Hazard Data
To make it easy to access the new FEMA flood maps, I've compiled different links and downloads just for the Hoboken area. I've added explanations of the different flood areas as these are hard to find on the FEMA arcgis site.
FEMA has released preliminary work map data for Atlantic, Hudson, Monmouth and Ocean Counties, New Jersey and New York City which supersedes the Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE) information previously released. Additional preliminary work map data for other communities will be released in the coming months. Here is the new interactive FEMA map for Hoboken showing updated "Best Available Flood Hazard Data"
Color Key to MAP:
YELLOW AREA: Floodplain Area AE
Areas with a 1% annual chance of flooding and a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year mortgage. Because detailed analyses are not performed for such areas; no depths or base flood elevations are shown within these zones.
GRAY AREA: Floodplain Area Shaded X
Area of moderate flood hazard, usually the area between the limits of the 100-year and 500-year floods. Are also used to designate base floodplains of lesser hazards, such as areas protected by levees from 100-year flood, or shallow flooding areas with average depths of less than one foot or drainage areas less than 1 square mile.
RED AREA: Floodplain Area VE
Coastal areas with a 1% or greater chance of flooding and an additional hazard associated with storm waves. These areas have a 26% chance of flooding over the life of a 30-year mortgage.
UNSHADED AREA
Area of minimal flood hazard, usually depicted on FIRMs as above the 500-year flood level.

NOTE: If you would like to submit information about your location in Hoboken or surrounding area during the hurricane, go to the new crowdsource map I've set up at www.hobokenflood.crowdmap.com. You can create a written report as well as upload photos documenting your experience. This information can be used for future maps and possible future emergency planning. I would like to eventually update these maps with more detailed information from these reports.

Here is a downloadable PDF that you can print: 06_13_Hoboken_FEMA_Flood_Map
Here is FEMA's explaination of the new maps:
Before Hurricane Sandy, FEMA had begun a coastal flood study to update Flood Insurance Rate Maps (FIRMs) for portions of New York and New Jersey using improved methods and data to better reflect coastal flood risk. After Sandy, FEMA released Advisory Base Flood Elevation (ABFE)information based on the partially completed flood study for certain communities which were designed to help in rebuilding and recovery efforts. FEMA is now in the process of releasing preliminary work map data including the full results of the coastal flood study.
The preliminary work map data is based on the same underlying data as the ABFE information, but includes the results of a more refined analysis of shoreline conditions, including the effects of erosion and wave runup. The preliminary work map data is a "draft" product that FEMA is sharing in advance of the upcoming release of the preliminary FIRMs. The preliminary work map data will replace the ABFE information (where applicable) as the best available flood hazard data until the release of the preliminary FIRMs. Until preliminary work maps are released for a community, ABFE information (if available) will continue to represent the best available flood hazard data in those areas. In areas where no ABFE or preliminary work map information is available, the current effective FIRM should be used.
Preliminary work map data will be added to this Best Available Flood Hazard Data Map as it becomes available. Where applicable, ABFE information for communities where preliminary work map data has not yet been released will continue to be made available through this map since it will continue to represent the best available flood hazard data until the work map data is released. On the map, the symbology for the preliminary work map data is different than the ABFE information in order to distinguish between the two data sets.
The Frozen Chosin
In the May 2013 issue of Military History magazine. This map shows the Korean War Battle of the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea, November 27 to December 11, 1950. U.S. Army and Marines serving as U.N. troops, were positioned on two sides of a man-made lake. Surrounded by attacking Chinese forces outnumbering them eight to one, they had to fight their way out over hostile terrain–retreating 78 miles to the south in temperatures below minus 30 degrees.
The survivors of this mission are referred to as "The Chosin Few." I met one of them recently at my mother-in-law's assisted living facility. "Mr. John" pulled a card out of his wallet one day that said "The Chosin Few." This was a couple months before I received this assignment, so I hadn't even heard of the battle before, but I went home and read a little about it. It was a coincidence that this project came up when it did. "Mr. John" served with the 7th Marines, which were stationed at the furthest point on the northwest side of the reservoir.
At the time that I was finishing this map, Google released it's crowd source map of North Korea and was allowing public input of locations. I was able to submit the Battle of The Chosin Reservoir to this map. It is the only thing identified within a very large empty area of North Korea.

New Hoboken Flood Map with Water Levels, Post Hurricane Sandy
For information on the new Hoboken flood maps released by FEMA on June 17, 2013, I've created a new post with more informantion and links to different versions of the map: CLICK HERE
I created an earlier version of this map by overlaying an old flood map of Hoboken, NJ onto an updated street grid to get a rough idea of where the different elevation zones fell within the city. I wanted to update this map with even more information, so my next step was to work with an existing digital elevation model (DEM) to get an idea of where flooding was most likely to occur at different water levels.
I started with the highest resolution data set publicly available, which is 1/9 arc-second (3 meter) NED data from the USGS. I used a program that allows me to set water elevations, so I did a normal, 1 meter, 2 meter and 3 meter modeling of water levels from the baseline DEM. I have no way of knowing exactly what tide level was present when the original DEM was sampled, but I am going to assume an average sea level in the Hudson River and add to that. This modeling isn't as sophisticated or as accurate as a proper engineering analysis, but gives a rough idea of what is the likely outcome of flooding.
Normal Water Level
Water level + 1 meter
Water level + 2 meters
I also made an animated GIF of the four different maps so that the progression of water levels can be seen in overlapping steps.
The first map is without any rise in tide or surge. This is where the river would be at either high or low tide. Most of the waterfront and piers are at least several feet above the high tide mark, but changes in ocean levels and future storms will require Hoboken to rethink its waterfront location and building practices.
The second map I modeled was with a rise in water level of one meter (about three and a quarter feet). At this level you start to see some of the lowest areas of town receiving water. These are areas that are also prone to flooding even in a heavy rain. Since water will seek the lowest level, the runoff from a heavy rain could easily flood these vulnerable areas. Having lived in different parts of Hoboken over 25 years, I have a lot of anecdotal evidence to this phenomenon. The new wet weather pump station on Observer Highway is supposed to alleviate this problem in the future.
The third map shows a water level increase of an additional meter, to two meters (six and a half feet). You can see how a large area of the city is quickly inundated with just the additional three feet of water. Most of these areas of the city seem relatively level as you walk around, so it is easy to understand how this much water can make a big difference very quickly. Because much of the construction in this city is well over 100 years old, many people still have living space on the ground floors, and in some cases have even expanded living quarters into basement and sub-street level spaces. Newer construction tends to have parking garages on the ground floor, which leaves cars vulnerable to flood damage. Almost all the buildings in these areas experienced some form of damage in the hurricane. In many cases lobbies and garages had to have repairs made. Many cars that were not moved beforehand were totaled.
The water level modeling is now very close to the vintage flood map that I originally used. The blue water areas are now nearly identical to the border between the Category 1 and 2 elevations (the white dotted line between the red and orange areas). The fact that there is no flooding in the Category 1 areas along the waterfront and in the northeast corner of town is probably due to the fact that the original flood map information predates most of the new construction along the waterfront over the last 10 years. Many of these areas were probably raised slightly from their original pre-construction elevations.
The fourth map shows a water level or surge of three meters (about 10 feet) over sea level, which is about what was reported. This is above the normal high tide level– which was experienced twice during the course of the storm, so a total of maybe 14 feet above low tide. This might come very close to approximating the areas of street-level flooding from Hurricane Sandy, but may be a little higher than what was experienced. The actual level may fall somewhere between the third and fourth maps, close to the border between the Category 1 and 2 elevations. I am basing this mostly on my observations and reporting from that time. I know that the intersection of 12th and Clinton was flooded as shown because my car was parked in a garage near that corner. Since the garage was a half foot or so above street level, the car was not touched, but five blocks away, at the corner of 14th and Jefferson, one of the most iconic photographs of the hurricane was taken. I'm hoping that reporting on the crowdsource map will confirm the actual scope of the flooding.
You can see what the original "island" of Hoboken might have once looked like. A lot of the lowest levels of the city had been built up over marshy areas–mostly in the western part of the town–for expansion in the 19th Century. You can also see how easy it might be to protect much of Hoboken in the future since there are only a few vulnerable areas at the north and south parts of town where river water can easily encroach on the lower lying areas. There is a barrier along most of the eastern edge of the town because of this naturally occurring mound of land (that is the lower edge of the map since it is oriented 77 degrees clockwise, with north pointing more toward the right). The other engineering necessity would be preventing backflow through the sewers when the water got above a certain level.

Laurová je zaniklá usedlost v Praze 5 – Smíchově, která stála na rohu ulic Radlická a K Vodojemu. Jsou po ní pojmenovány ulice Na Laurové a Nad Laurovou.

Historie
Vinici koupil roku 1730 český komorní rada a vrchní administrátor hor a mince Jan František Laura od paní Clary Sonntagové. Roku 1882 držel dvůr Leopold Jurain a po něm rodina Barthových, kteří vlastnili také sousední Barvířku, Brentovou a Minařku.

Usedlost byla zbořena na počátku 20. století a místo bylo zastavěno novou zástavbou.

Plague Claims Second Life in Northwest China
BEIJING – A second man has died of pneumonic plague in northwest China, in an outbreak that prompted authorities to seal off an entire town where about a dozen people were infected with the highly contagious deadly lung disease, a state news agency said.
The man who died Sunday was identified only as 37-year-old Danzin from Ziketan, the stricken town in Qinghai province, the official Xinhua News Agency said.
Danzin was a neighbor of the first person who died, a 32-year-old herdsman whose name was not given. Another 10 people, mostly relatives of the first deceased man, were infected and undergoing isolated treatment in hospital, Xinhua said in a report late Sunday.
The town of 10,000 people has been placed under quarantine and a team of experts was being sent to the area, it said. The local health bureau warned Sunday that anyone with a cough or fever who has visited the town since mid-July should seek treatment at a hospital.
Pneumonic plague is spread through the air and can be passed from person to person through coughing, according to the World Health Organization. It is caused by the same bacteria that occurs in bubonic plague — the Black Death that killed an estimated 25 million people in Europe during the Middle Ages.
While bubonic plague — which is usually transmitted by flea bite — can be treated with antibiotics if diagnosed early, pneumonic plague is one of the deadliest infectious diseases. According to the WHO, humans can die within 24 hours of infection.

Fatuma and Asya (trailer) from Francesco Sincich on Vimeo.
The Society is screening the film Fatuma and Asya: Two Afar Girls in Ethiopia (Fatuma kee Asya. Etiopia Qafarih sayyoh nammayih mano). The film was shown at the 14th Royal Anthropological Institute's International Festival of Ethnographic Film in Bristol in June 2015.
Two young Afar girls, Fatuma (10) and Asya (13), show us their daily life in two different contexts of the Afar Region in Ethiopia. Both of them face hard challenges: finding an alternative way to the mandatory arranged marriage (absuma) without breaking the Afar tradition for Fatuma, and the conflict with the Somali Issa and the livestock's and land's theft for Asya. Both of them will find the solutions: Fatuma will marry her boyfriend and Asya's family will recover the stolen cattle thanks to the fi'ma, the traditional Afar militia.
The film was directed by Francesco Sincich and final production took place in Italy in 2014. The film is 59 minutes long and has English subtitles.
The money required for making the film, less than £2000, was raised via Ulele, a European crowdfunding website, the working title for the film being Tolé.
Francesco Sincich used Ulele to successfully raise funds for a second film, Dahra, and in his pitch he describes some of the experiences he had making Fatuma and Asya.
The film will be introduced by Angela Raven-Roberts, who has a very good understanding of the Horn of Africa and the challenges of its pastoral community due to her decades-long involvement with local communities and her past development work for multiple governments and NGOs. There will be a Q&A session at the end of the screening.

The Big Business of Electronic Health Records, Part 3
By John K. Higgins
Part 1 of this series discusses the growing trend toward adoption of electronic health records among healthcare providers, insurance companies, and government agencies. Part 2 discusses proposed regulations that would establish requirements providers must meet in order to receive federal funding for converting to electronic health records.
A typical physician's office features several common elements: a reception area, a stack of outdated magazines, and shelves of slim file folders holding hundreds of paper medical records. The U.S. government is hoping to change one of those elements with a major initiative designed to convert all patient medical records created by both doctors and hospitals into electronic form.
The federal program, coupled with the existing investment plans of healthcare providers for creating paperless medical records, presents a huge opportunity for IT vendors offering the right hardware, software, and services to implement electronic health record (EHR) programs.
Estimates of the size of the market for EHRs vary widely, depending on what is included in the electronic records process, which ultimately could embrace an extensive range of patient-related data. Healthcare providers currently spend just over US$13 billion a year on EHRs, according to Kalorama Information. Using much narrower criteria, BCC Research figures 2009 spending on EHRs was almost $1.4 billion and growing. Neither estimate included the effect of the recently launched federal program to provide between $30 billion and $40 billion in financial assistance to doctors and hospitals for investments in EHRs through 2016.
Washington Shapes Market
The federal funding was authorized by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), the umbrella legislation designed to stimulate the U.S. economy.
The federal program will be transformative in developing the EHR market. Through 2015, doctors and hospitals can obtain federal assistance for investments in electronic records — as much as $44,000 for each physician and just over $6 million — on average — per hospital, according to BCC Research. But by 2016, healthcare providers who have failed to meet federal electronic health records goals will be penalized through reductions in Medicare or Medicaid reimbursements. There is little doubt this carrot-and-stick approach will have a major impact in boosting EHR implementation.
"If the question is whether the ARRA subsidies will induce buyers who otherwise would not have purchased an EHR program to do so, the answer is undeniably yes," Andrew McWilliams, an analyst at BCC Research, told CRM Buyer.
For both IT vendors and healthcare providers, the federal program will also present challenges. To qualify for federal assistance, healthcare providers will have to meet certain requirements for the deployment of EHRs in a prudent and significant way, known as the "meaningful use" or MU standard. Also, federal criteria will be used to certify the adequacy of IT products offered by vendors.
In addition, the federal program is encouraging the development of health information exchange (HIE) systems, designed to create local, regional and even national networks so that medical records can be exchanged among healthcare providers all over the country, and EHR programs will need to be capable of operating within HIE structures.
An Evolving Vendor Community
The high demand for IT products and services, as well as the federal requirements for acceptable EHR programs, will likely set off a scramble for market share within a vendor community that is broadly based, unsettled, and still experiencing growing pains. Several recent market studies included profiles of between 20 and 30 vendors in each report, although researchers at Kalorama and Gartner concede that small local vendors providing EHR support could number more than 100.
"We found the market to be a mile wide but an inch deep," Jason Hess, general manager, clinical research, at KLAS Research, told CRM Buyer, referring to the lack of vendors with the kind of comprehensive capabilities that will be required. "Only a relatively small number of vendors have risen to the challenge enough times to claim a proven, repeatable model," Hess noted in a KLAS report on vendors serving the market.
"Typical of nascent markets, the HIE vendor situation is volatile, with new entrants and market consolidation. Mergers and acquisitions have been the dominant vendor strategy to build out the HIE portfolio," said Lynne Dunbrack, program director, IDC health insights, in a study of the HIE/EHR market. Most vendors profiled by IDC were small to medium-sized, privately held companies that could be prime acquisition targets, and only a few had a large customer base.
The attraction of a market in the billions of dollars won't necessarily work for all vendors. The federal requirements could severely limit opportunities for many.
Product Technology Challenges
"It's a market that increases the cost of entry. Some vendors have the capability to meet the federal EHR requirements, or the ability to improve their product offerings with modest investments. But for others, especially those entering for the first time, it will be really difficult," Wes Rishel, a vice president at Gartner, and a co-author of the firm's medical records market study, told CRM Buyer.
"Another other big issue for vendors is having the resources for developing marketing channels to reach a lot of small practice physicians," Rishel noted.
In light of the fluid federal funding and regulatory situation, all vendors will have to be on their toes as product certification standards and market requirements evolve. Several vendors have offered guarantees that their products will comply with the "meaningful use" standards, which are still being drafted by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), which oversees Medicare and Medicaid.
Some vendors have been trying to anticipate the federal requirements, which have been evolving through various HHS outreach channels to vendors and healthcare providers.
"We have been developing our products in line with the 'meaningful use' guidelines since they were first proposed in 2009. We constantly build to the highest standard, so if the final requirements are lower than expected, we will simply be ahead of the game," Charlie Jarvis, vice president of IT provider NextGen Healthcare Information Systems, told CRM Buyer.
Compliance with the standards is likely to be just as important as the federal funding incentives or the Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement penalties to IT vendors seeking to crack the market.
"High-publicity incentives can capture attention, but offerings will shape the market. It is still up to vendors. Creative vendor offers will win the day," Bruce Carlson, publisher of Kalorama Information, told CRM Buyer.
Vendors offering products that comply with federal requirements may also need to offer "aggressive financing" to physicians, he added. Some doctors, as a result of the recession, higher overhead costs, and lower insurance reimbursements, may still need financing assistance in addition to the federal incentives.
While the federal initiative is designed to be "vendor neutral," the program is likely to have a technology forcing element. Both vendor and healthcare provider groups have asked HHS to take a more gradual approach in setting deadlines for compliance with proposed regulations. However, even if HHS honors those requests, the federal program is likely to have a significant impact on IT product development.
"This initiative has been a challenge for vendors and end-users alike," IDC's Dunbrack told CRM Buyer. "Vendors developing flexible, service-oriented architecture (SOA) products will be better positioned to adapt to evolving requirements and standards," she added.
Healthcare providers should strive to implement EHR programs with Generation-3 information technologies that are truly dynamic and have improved analytical and performance measuring capabilities, recommends Gartner's Rishel.
Because different vendors may specialize in different medical records functions, vendors will need to offer products that can be integrated into a complete system, as healthcare providers mix and match their product purchases, Rishel added.

Sixty-seven percent of Americans say they agree with President Barack Obama's latest executive actions on guns, though six in 10 of them say they will not be effective in curbing gun violence, according to a new survey.
This is what worries me about America. Yes, gun controls leading to gun bans and ultimate repeal of the Second Amendment.
But, even worse: mass ignorance about the role of the president and separation of powers in the U.S. Constitution.
The president is the commander in chief of the armed forces. It is not the president's job to initiate or legislate new laws. The Constitution could not be clearer on this. Read it for yourself.
It is true that presidents issue executive orders all the time. This is because Congress empowered the president to do so, via the creation of federal programs such as Social Security, Medicare, and so forth. Whether these programs are themselves constitutional, and whether Congress should ever have been permitted by the Supreme Court to enact such laws, is another question.
But Obama is in new territory here, as he was with altering immigration law, and with imposing, delaying and reimposing the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare), at will.
Regardless of where these 67 percent of Americans stand on the role of government in regulating firearms, they should be disturbed and outraged that Obama has, once again, defied the Constitution in such a blatant way.
A majority of Americans, it appears, do not think in principle. A principle refers to a broad generalization across specific examples.
Maybe you like Barack Obama. What if Donald Trump becomes president? Do you trust his judgment in creating new laws the same as you did Obama's? If not, what do you intend to use to stop him? Without principle, you're stuck. If Obama gets to do whatever he wants, even if it's not permitted by the Constitution, then so does Donald Trump.
This is not a partisan issue, and it's not a "liberal" or "conservative" issue. It's an issue of principle, and most Americans seem unable or willing to think in those terms.
Do you believe Obama's actions will be effective in curbing gun violence?
Do you approve of the way Obama is handling gun policy?
Do you favor Obama using executive action on gun policy instead of working through Congress?
Has Obama gone too far in trying to change gun laws?
The right amount: 31 percent.
Not far enough: 30 percent.
A majority of Americans have once again permitted their president to enact and legislate new laws—laws which the same majority do not even believe will have an impact.
What a sad commentary on the ignorance and inattention of most Americans.
Principles are not pie-in-the-sky irrelevancies. They are the lifeblood of civilization — the right principles, that is.
Two-thirds of Americans are letting another foundational principle — the separation of powers in our government — die on their watch. Don't say the other one-third didn't warn you.


The Renaissance is an important phase in European Art and Literature as it led to a renewed interest in the Arts. The period marks some of the greatest creations in Art by legends such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Michelangelo and some eminent architects. This cultural movement which started in Italy, in the period of 14th to 17th century, evolved from a subtle shift from a theocentric approach to the belief that 'Man is the measure of all things' [Protagoras]. The invention of paper and printing during this period only helped in giving a further impetus to Art and literature.
And while Italy and Europe were undergoing this 'rebirth' could England stay far behind? The greatest import of the renaissance in English literature was the Sonnet, which was introduced into English by Thomas Wyatt and developed by Henry Howard, Earl of Surrey. This was also the period where poetry and drama became popular. The Spanish Tragedy, a highly popular play, led to the rise of a new genre, the revenge plot of the revenge tragedy, which highly influenced the works of William Shakespeare. Although Shakespeare made his presence felt towards end of the Renaissance, he remains one of the most prolific and loved poet and playwright of this era. Not only did he give us some unforgettable plays but also popularized the Sonnet. Hamlet, Julius Ceasar, Macbeth, Othello, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear and Anthony and Cleopatra are some of his greatest works.
Complex, flawed and humane characters; Intriguing stories involving Greed, Revenge and Hatred which included Double plots interspersed with clever Comic sequences and undercurrents of a love story, make his plays unforgettable. And if you have to enjoy Shakespeare you must read it in the original, there is absolutely no fun in reading simpler versions, they take away all the drama.
When I talk of Shakespeare however, I am always reminded of Teacher Shukla. I owe my love for Shakespeare completely to her. I remember, she would encourage detailed discussions on each of the Acts or Scenes, sometimes even on dialogues. We would talk about the socio-political environment, the prevailing culture, the language… It was not only a lesson in Shakespeare but a lesson in culture and histories and sometimes life! In fact why only Shakespeare, I believe, my love for reading is because of her. Else I would have just spent my life reading and re-reading Sherlock Holmes and famous five.

I Campionati del mondo di ciclismo su strada 1931 si disputarono a Copenaghen in Danimarca il 26 agosto 1931 e furono l'unica edizione in cui il titolo professionisti fu assegnato con una gara a cronometro.

Furono assegnati due titoli:
Prova in linea Uomini Dilettanti, gara di 170,000 km
Prova a cronometro Uomini Professionisti, gara di 170,000 km

Storia
L'edizione del 1931 fu l'unica in cui la prova in linea venne sostituita da una cronometro individuale, da correre sulla distanza di 170 km. La vittoria fu ancora della selezione italiana, con Learco Guerra che vinse la medaglia d'oro staccando di più di 4 minuti il secondo e il terzo classificato, rispettivamente il francese Ferdinand Le Drogo e lo svizzero Albert Büchi. Solo diciassette corridori presero parte alla prova e in tredici la conclusero.

Nella prova dilettanti, terminò il dominio dell'Italia che si aggiudicò solo la medaglia d'argento con Giuseppe Olmo, mentre il danese Henry Hansen vinse l'oro.

What Does your age Mean?
You just turned eighteen. By law you are considered an adult. You can do so much now! You can vote, buy cigarettes, gamble, enlist in the military, in three years you can drink alcohol, and you're halfway to the age of moving out of the basement! Eighteen truly is that magical number signaling responsibility.
But... what is so special about the age eighteen? And who decides these other numbers as to when these events occur in our lifetime? Why can we potentially die in a car wreck at 16, give up our life for our military at 18, but can't drink alcohol until 21?
We asked a of people which options they prefer out of modifying the drinking, enlistment, and driving age. The general consensus was to lower the drinking age, keep or raise the driving age, and keep or raise the enlistment age. This spread of data is mostly represented by the research conducted.
No matter the legal drinking age, teens will find a way to drink alcohol so having a legal drinking age only limits the public purchase of alcohol on teens.
Most teens do not start drinking until they reach high school so if the drinking age were lowered to 18, schools could offer more education about alcohol consumption and how to drink responsibly and parents could also try to guide their teens in the right direction by teaching them at home about responsible drinking before sending them off to college where they will be living on their own and most likely surrounded by parties and alcohol.
There is a division in college between the lower classmen and the upperclassmen by the fact that the upperclassmen are able to legally drink alcohol while the lower classmen are considered adults but cannot drink alcohol. The underage students are exposed to alcohol and they see their cohorts consuming alcohol and having a good time so they, too, want to join in, even if it's illegal. It is more common for underage students to drink heavily compared to of age students. One reason for this is because underage students have limited access to alcohol so when they do have it, they consume as much as they possibly can. Of age students do not have to worry about access to alcohol so they can purchase and drink alcohol whenever they want so they tend to be more controlled.
Most politicians and their constituents do not want to lower the legal drinking age because they fear that it will lead to drunk driving which will then lead to more fatalities, but traffic fatalities are common to newly-legal drinkers no matter the age.
Many teens are hurt due to alcohol related injuries because they are afraid to reach out for help due to the fear of getting into trouble, but if the drinking age were lowered, teens would be less afraid to ask for help and the amount of teens hurt from alcohol related injuries would be reduced.
The economy would benefit from a lowered drinking age because then the age range of eligibility to buy alcohol would increase which would then increase sales because then more people could buy alcohol.
No one can seem to agree on which age is the "best" age to start driving behind the wheel. Even the driving age between states varies drastically. While there are many convincing arguments no matter which side of the fence you stand on, there must be an optimal path to take in regards to when the general populace should start driving. We use the restricted license as this is the first time teenagers first get behind the wheel without supervision.
One argument for raising the driving age is that teenagers ages 17 and below are statistically more likely to be aggressive on the road. This includes implies running red lights and stop signs, speeding, cutting people off, and other dangerous habits of driving on the road, while these habits seem to generally decrease the higher the age group. (Based on a telephone survey.) Raising the driving age will decrease the overall danger on the road.
Another argument for raising the driving age is, as stated previously, teenagers will always find a way to get alcohol. Whenever there is an access to alcohol, there is the opportunity for driving under the influence. This would reduce the amount of DUIs and therefore create a safer road.
One argument against raising the driving age is the fact no matter what age people start driving, they will always start out inexperienced. An inexperienced driver at age 16 will still be an inexperienced driver at age 18. The counterargument to this is there are programs sponsored by schools and other organizations that have a graduating license system where intense training and supervision behind the wheel is provided. This gives them the experience they need while also making sure everyone involved is learning good habits behind the wheel, creating a safer road.
The enlistment age in the United States is 18 years old. With parental permission, you can join at 17. There are two main arguments with this age choice. The first argument is that the age should be lowered. This can be observed in ancient Sparta. There, boys began intense training at the age of 7. This led to a strong military.
One major benefit to an early enlistment age is that it "increases the country's war-deterrence potential and lowers its likelihood of being attacked," (Levy, 420). However, the opposing argument is that the age needs to be raised from 18 years old. This may seem to originate from moral standpoint. However, there is reasoning behind it. 18 years old means you are an adult. There is no major physical or mental difference between being 17 and 18. Whereas you are far more developed when you are around 21 years old when compared to 18.
In the modern world, the biggest determining factor in every decision, especially military procedures, is money. Amnon Levy published an article in a journal that discusses an optimal enlistment age based on economic reasons. Those economic reasons involve everything from being injured and getting benefits to the standard of living of a veteran.
Levy creates various correlations that more or less will stay true with any type of circumstance. One example is that "The optimal enlistment age first rises and then declines with the value of the maximum probability of war," (Levy, 424). Levy comes to the conclusion that the best enlistment age is 21 years old. This primarily allows for the completion of a first degree in college. This will help the soldier return to a civilian life and have employment opportunities that a military only person would not have. Not only that, but a more mature enlistment age will help to reduce costs in post active duty soldiers.

Functional characterization of TNNC1 rare variants identified in dilated cardiomyopathy

TNNC1, which encodes cardiac troponin C (cTnC), remains elusive as a dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) gene. Here, we report the clinical, genetic, and functional characterization of four TNNC1 rare variants (Y5H, M103I, D145E, and I148V), all previously reported by us in association with DCM (Hershberger, R. E., Norton, N., Morales, A., Li, D., Siegfried, J. D., and Gonzalez-Quintana, J. (2010) Circ. Cardiovasc. Genet. 3, 155-161); in the previous study, two variants (Y5H and D145E) were identified in subjects who also carried MYH7 and MYBPC3 rare variants, respectively. Functional studies using the recombinant human mutant cTnC proteins reconstituted into porcine papillary skinned fibers showed decreased Ca 2+ sensitivity of force development (Y5H and M103I). Furthermore, the cTnC mutants diminished (Y5H and I148V) or abolished (M103I) the effects of PKA phosphorylation on Ca 2+ sensitivity. Only M103I decreased the troponin activation properties of the actomyosin ATPase when Ca 2+ was present. CD spectroscopic studies of apo (absence of divalent cations)-, Mg 2+-,and Ca 2+/Mg 2+-bound states indicated that all of the cTnC mutants (except I148V in the Ca 2+/Mg 2+ condition) decreased the α-helical content. These results suggest that each mutation alters the function/ability of the myofilament to bind Ca 2+ as a result of modifications in cTnC structure. One variant (D145E) that was previously reported in association with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and that produced results in vivo in this study consistent with prior hypertrophic cardiomyopathy functional studies was found associated with the MYBPC3 P910T rare variant, likely contributing to the observed DCM phenotype. We conclude that these rare variants alter the regulation of contraction in some way, and the combined clinical, molecular, genetic, and functional data reinforce the importance of TNNC1 rare variants in the pathogenesis of DCM.

Fassa team facing end of the line?
A report in the morning's L'Equipe newspaper confirmed the desperate plight of team manager Giancarlo Ferretti, who is facing the collapse of his team if he doesn't find a title sponsor to take over from Italian concrete manufacturer Fassa Bortolo in the next week. Meanwhile, the team's prize asset, Alessandro Petacchi, is apparently already weighing up an array of offers from the richest teams in the peloton, including Discovery Channel, T-Mobile and Phonak.
Ferretti revealed to L'Equipe that as long ago as last winter he had come so close to signing a deal with the French bank, Caisse d'Epargne, that he already had a prototype jersey adorned with the firm's name and colour scheme. He then spoke of his horror at seeing the Caisse d'Epargne logo on the Illes Balears team jersey several weeks after the company's representatives – "dishonourable, childish people" Ferretti says now – broke off negotiations with no explanation.
The veteran Italian boss's focus then switched to a Dutch-based multinational rumoured to be electrical goods giant Philips. Former Rabobank boss Jan Raas was apparently willing to act as an intermediary in the deal, but that avenue, too, quickly became a blind alley. Dutch sources indicate that Raas and Ferretti stopped communicating around two months ago.
Panasonic, the sponsor of a major team until 1992, and the Orange mobile phone network have also been mooted as potential saviours. On Sunday, however, Fassa Bortolo team spokesman Andra Agostini said that team administrator Angelo Simeoni was still frantically working behind the scenes to secure Ferretti's and his riders' future. "We have given ourselves one more week before we make a decision. After that, the riders are free to go where they want," Ferretti said yesterday.
While Juan Antonio Flecha seems bound for Rabobank and Kim Kirchen is being courted by Liquigas, Petacchi has almost limitless options. Domina Vacanze, Liquigas and Lampre-Caffita all fit in with his preference to stay in Italy, but each presents its own drawbacks. Liquigas and Lampre-Caffita are both eager to sign the reigning Milan-San Remo champion but not the four lead-out men who Petacchi is determined to bring with him.
Domina Vacanze, on the other hand, is willing to completely overhaul its team and budget to accommodate Petacchi plus entourage, but the rider remains unconvinced by the sponsor and its staff. So poorly have Domina performed this season that there is also a remote possibility that their ProTour licence could be under threat at the end of the season.
This leaves a long queue of foreign sponsors apparently headed by Phonak and T-Mobile, who are about to part company with Erik Zabel. Discovery Channel also have the financial means to lure Petacchi, but may not be able to overcome his concerns about the team's major tour bias. Stay logged on to procycling.com for the latest news as it breaks this week.

Can i add numeric IP address (not domains) to the Block or Perma-ban list panel?
I would like to add a malware-domain list given from malc0de website, but it's an IP address list, not domains. Did GHHbD resolve this address to hide in search engines?
Thanks again for this great script and for you efforts.
The script doesn't resolve addresses, it just matches what is listed in the results. I think for performance reasons it would be better to use an extension to do that in the background so page rendering is not delayed. The reason I think an extension would be best it is could use Firefox's internal DNS code for the lookup, which would be more accurate to what would happen when *you* click the link than using a random name server for the lookup.
Ok, got it. Thanks for you're reply and, again, for this great script.
