ELISA programme of library visits 2018
ELISA's programme of visits to libraries for 2018 is now live and tickets are available through Eventbrite.
There are 4 visits to interesting libraries planned:
Edinburgh Tool Library on 29th March 2018 at 2:00pm Tickets
Edinburgh Tool Library describes itself as "the UK's first tool library, promoting sharing as a way of reducing our environmental impact." Its members or, 'Tooligans', can lend tools from the Library at a number of community locations around Edinburgh including selected Edinburgh City Libraries.
The Library of Mistakes on 26th April 2018 at 2:00pm Tickets
The Library of Mistakes exists to allow students, professionals and members of the general public to study financial history and to understand how finance has worked, rather than how it should work if key unrealistic assumptions are made.
The Supreme Courts Library on 14th May 2018 at 2:00pm Tickets
ELISA are invited to tour the Supreme Courts Library serving judicial members and support staff of The Court of Session, Scotland's supreme civil court and The High Court of Judiciary, Scotland's supreme criminal court.
The Scottish Poetry Library on 5th or 6th July at 2:00pm Tickets Tickets
Scotland's one and only designated lending library for poetry is opening its doors to ELISA over two afternoons. The Library makes accessible poems in a variety of formats and provides a variety of resources for poets and researchers through its collections, workshops and expanding website

Advocates Library on tv
Robert Fergusson sculpture by David Annand
A television documentary, Fergusson: Burns' Forgotten Hero, was screened on BBC1 Scotland last Sunday.
In this documentary marking Burns Day, writer Andrew O'Hagan goes in search of the poet who inspired Burns: Robert Fergusson. Fergusson died young but his legacy was a love song to his native city, Edinburgh. Andrew tracks down his story in the streets and wynds of the Old Town. Fergusson's vivid use of Scots led Burns to declare him his 'forgotten hero' and to pay a lasting tribute to this neglected Scottish poet.
Some filming for the programme took place inside the Advocates Library and outside Parliament House. The programme can be viewed on BBC iPlayer
Edinburgh's Makar, Christine De Luca writes for ELISA – Part 3: The Great Polish Map of Scotland
Over the last three weeks ELISA has been pleased to showcase a series of guest posts by Edinburgh's Maker, Christine De Luca. In this final instalment Christine tells us about an unusual link between Scotland and Poland…
And finally …
In late October 2014, I was invited as Edinburgh Makar to join a small Scottish contingent at the Conrad Literary Festival in Krakow, Poland. This was a wonderful opportunity to visit a city I had long wanted to see, a city which had recently been designated a UNESCO City of Literature.
I told them a little about an unusual link between our two countries, Scotland and Poland.
There are of course lots of living links: Poles living and working here, and Edinburgh and Krakow having been twinned for almost 20 years, since 1995. But this particular link relates to that generation of Poles who escaped to Scotland from occupied Europe during World War II and who made a huge, often secret, contribution to the Allied cause. Many later settled in Scotland.
The Great Polish Map of Scotland
On a summer Sunday in 1975, I stopped off with my fiancé for afternoon tea at a quiet hotel (The Black Barony) at Eddleston in the Scottish Borders. After our refreshments we took a stroll in the grounds, crossing the Fairy Dean Burn to the other side of the narrow valley. To my surprise I came upon an old man patiently working on a massive, scaled model of Scotland. As a Geography teacher I was transfixed and looked forward to being able to bring pupils to see it as, for many, visualising a landscape from a map is difficult. The old man was checking elevations and levelling and was working with only a quarter-inch map! We got talking to him – he was Polish and was attempting to do something for his adopted country. Little did we know that, not only had he bought the hotel and grounds, but it had been the secret headquarters of the Polish soldiers during the war.
However, I never heard any more about the model and, when I returned several years later, the hotel had changed hands, the grounds were fenced off and no one seemed to know anything about this incredible feature, visible from space!
Until recently, that is… when I was driving nearby and saw a sign pointing to 'The Great Polish Map of Scotland'. My heart skipped a beat! I was delighted to find that, although it had suffered neglect for many years, it has now been officially listed and is in the care of a trust. Work is on-going to restore it.
I wrote this 'concrete' poem by way of celebration and to bring to the Conrad Festival:

Very many thanks to Christine for these delightful and informative tales of Edinburgh, Kraków, poetry, geography, history and bookart. I hope she will choose to write for us again sometime – and that she will inspire other ELISA readers to have a go too! Please contact me if you'd like to contribute to this blog at any time.
Again, many thanks to Christine De Luca, Edinburgh's Makar

Edinburgh's Makar, Christine De Luca writes for ELISA – Part 1: What is a Makar?
Bliadhna Mhath Ùr
a Fine New'er tae all!
Over the next three weeks ELISA is very excited to be presenting some guest posts by Edinburgh's current Maker, Christine De Luca. In Part 1 Christine tells us about her work as Maker and her recent visit to Kraków, another City of Literature…
What is a Makar?
The Scots word Makar means 'one who fashions, constructs, produces etc.' (Dictionary of the Scots Language). In a literary context it is the role of the poet or author as a worker in the craft of writing.
Why does Edinburgh have a Makar and how did it come about?
In 2002 four organisations came together in the city to establish the role of Makar (Poet Laureate), to celebrate the importance of writers in the life of the city. These organisations were the Scottish Poetry Library, the City of Edinburgh Council, Scottish PEN and the Saltire Society.
About this time Edinburgh was encouraging UNESCO to establish a worldwide network of Cities of Literature; and to designate Edinburgh as the first. The bid was successful and, in 2014, Edinburgh celebrated its 10th anniversary as the first City of Literature. So now the UNESCO City of Literature Trust is another key body involved in the selection of the Edinburgh Makar.
The criteria guiding the choice of Makar by the five bodies are that nominees must:
be resident in, or have a strong connection with, the City of Edinburgh
have an established reputation as a poet
have the ability to act as the City's literary ambassador.
It is a civic appointment, an honorary post, lasting generally for a period of three years. The Makar receives a small honorarium from the Council. Previous Makars were Stewart Conn, Valerie Gillies and Ron Butlin. My tenure is from 2014 – 2017
What are we expected to do as Makar?
to act as the City's literary ambassador: meet & greet; do short talks; take part in events; do a 'reflection' for the full Council; occasionally act as a poetry judge; help with promoting poetry
to write the occasional poem for the city
And it seems we can
react to requests which may be relevant. (I am, for example, currently working on a poem for the traders in the Royal Mile.)
proactively engage with citizens through poetry. (I am for example, currently planning a project with primary schools; and creating a dedicated Makar website to help communication.)
Most of my work is in Edinburgh but, in late October 2014, I was invited as Edinburgh Makar to join a small Scottish contingent at the Conrad Literary Festival in Krakow, Poland.
a Polish version of 'Edinburgh Volte-Face' projected onto a wall in the Rynek Główny (main square), Kraków
This was a wonderful opportunity to visit a city I had long wanted to see, a city which had recently been designated a UNESCO City of Literature. To welcome us they had projected poems on to a wall in a city centre square. The poem of mine selected was less than flattering about Edinburgh! (But I did write it a long time ago and balanced it with a love poem to the city, written more recently!)
I chose to read these two poems because they are simple, direct and contrasting poems. Also, they are both written in English; not in Shetlandic (my mother tongue):
Edinburgh Volte-Face
rivalling Rome: you are
the big sister of all cities,
forever tut-tutting.
City of venerable skylines;
each morning you un-do yourself
like someone more anxious to save
the wrapping than enjoy the gift.
City of open spaces: for you
no strollers in the forum; merely
a scurry of solicitors, vellum-faced
with long north-facing days,
and little women, worn
from cleaning other people's stairs.
City of the great estates;
you have no outer wall,
but numerous apartheids
charitably maintained.
rivalling Rome: I hold
your negative to the light,
and see your true topography.
the poem, projected in English
It was never love at first sight
though my heart skipped a beat:
your fingertips, skyline's stroke;
your crisp couture, the cut,
the allure; just a hint of the roué.
But there was something reserved
resistant – Namaste, that divine spark –
your self-assurance; respect perhaps,
that made me keep my distance.
We took our time getting intimate
lowering our defences bit by bit.
I've all but forgotten that coldness,
the standoffishness you cultivated,
a particular view of refinement.
We are still falling for one another.
You've opened your arms; I've opened
my eyes. You're under my skin now.
I defend you against all-comers.
You can read more from Christine in Part 2: Mysterious Book Sculptures next week…

by Robyn Elman, In Home Pet Services, Inc.
We all have read stories about how much pets can help disabled humans – from seeing-eye dogs, to therapy dogs, to the simple act of reducing our blood pressure by petting a cat or dog. What happens when the tables are turned and the pets are the ones who become disabled? Every year since 2006 we celebrate National Specially-Abled Pets Day on May 3rd to show case the amazing ways our pets and animals adapt that may have become challenged due to disease, birth flaws or injuries and develop greater senses and abilities. I like to think we can celebrate them everyday!
Being a professional pet sitter since 2003, I have seen, worked with and helped clients with pets that are Specially-Abled over the years. It is inspiring and touching to see the lengths people will go to give back to their pets. Take the story of an adult male German Shepherd owned by a 110lb. woman in Bayside, NY. When his bone cancer became more aggressive and started spreading, there was no choice but to amputate one of his hind legs. A specially made harness was needed to help to lift up and support his rear while walking. The client dedicated herself to helping her best companion to learn to walk again. The dog was depressed in the beginning and didn't want to walk, but she stuck by him. She actually began to work out to gain more strength in her upper body, and worked with her dog every day. We would come midday while she was at work to continue the routine of motivation and lifting him up to get his first few steps started. Through her hard work, compassion, and dedication, after only a couple of months he started to enjoy walking again. He was no longer depressed, loved to sit outside on the porch and even played ball.
I have also seen how pet lovers will not hesitate to bring an already disabled dog into their lives – especially ones who are blind or deaf. My staff and I have had the pleasure of learning how to care for these pets, and we are happy to go the extra mile to assist them in their care and help their owners too. With a deaf dog or cat, it's still our habit to talk to or call out to the non-hearing dogs, learning to tap on the floor so they know there is someone there, (they can feel the vibrations), and using a lot of visual cues. Each dog has their own unique visual cues – just like human sign language.
For blind dogs, besides using a lot of audio signals, we let the dogs use their nose to approach and smell us before we use touch. It is amazing to see their ability to adapt to their environment. Once they get used to the layout of a room and house, they can navigate it without any hesitation.
Animals have a spirit and determination that never ceases to amaze me – and the kindness of people amazes me as well. With all our pets do to try and please us, it's great to see people giving back to them – they deserve it! After all, pets are considered part of the family these days and sometimes are treated better.
Shanna, lost her leg to cancer - lived until a happy, healthy 12.5 years as a 3 - legged wonder dog, inspiring people everywhere she went!


JSword should be a Bible study library with which to build various front-ends. Front-ends could include Applets, stand-alone Swing/AWT/SWT or RCP/JFace/SWT GUIs, server-side processing for JSP/Servlets, and more advanced projects like link mappers and translations.
It should help Bible study through various optional front-ends that are shipped with JSword or separately.
It should be easliy contributed-to, and easily used.
URGENT - There is a bug or serious issue here that we need to sort out as a priority.
PENDING - There is an issue here that needs sorting out before we do an official release.
NOTE - An area of code that could be better, but that isn't actually causing any known problems right now.
LATER - This is work that we are not doing now, but leaving for a later release.
There are other tags, documented in tags.txt in the root of the jsword module.
The goal of Java is "write once, run anywhere." With regard to the JSword development, it means, "write once, anywhere." The practical impact of this is that JSword development community uses Linux, Windows and Mac. Thus, JSword needs to use the "lowest common denominator" of the JDK.
This is all currently being written using JDK 5. The basis for this is that (where practical) we will retain support for JDKs where some of our users have no better options.
The coding standards used on this project so far are very much based on the SUN coding standards. This is some notes on style we are using, some of this deviates from the SUN standard, and some is just extensions to it.
Generalized code exists in org.crosswire. Code specific to this project lives in org.crosswire.jsword.
Also, since there is an Model-View-Controller (MVC) relationship between various parts of the code we avoid importing view code into model code, but model code is imported by both model and view code.
Also any code specific to an interface X should be in a package containing x. For example all swing specific code is in a *swing* package. This helps us in packaging code for a distribution, in excluding other interfaces.
For those using Eclipse, a set of formatting rules for java code have been provided (etc/eclipse/jsword-format.xml). This can be loaded into Eclipse under Window->Preferences->Java->Code Formatter->Load.
Variables are not important members of a class so why put them at the top? JSword usage puts them at the bottom.
4 space indents are a Good Thing, however using a tab character instead of 4 spaces just causes problems when you want to print, open in a different editor, or want to paste into an html doc using <pre> tags. Everything will look exactly the same if you use spaces instead of tabs.

The core Java API is similar in that there are concepts like Key, Verse etc in both. However there are differences; In Java Verse is stateless but the C++ SWVerse is stateful. For those wanting to write Java code using the C++ API there is an API compatibility tree (under development) that calls the core tree. This compatibility tree tries to mimic the C++ wherever possible.
The 2 APIs are not more similar to 2 reasons, one historic JSword was originally written under the name ProjectB, and only later merged into JSword. However there are a number of problems with language independant APIs. They all risk falling into the same traps as CORBA, DOM and SAX - all good examples of how *not* to write an API, and hence the need for RMI/EJB, JDOM/XOM/DOM4J/JAXB/etc.
An example for our case would be statefulness. Should the low level APIs for Verse etc be stateful? In C++/Sword they are, and there is sense for this in C++ because operator overloading makes incrementing a verse easy. Java however has a powerful concept of immutability that does not seem to be as important in C++, so a Java string is guaranteed not to change, where C++ lets you cast away any protection. Immutability lets us return values without cloning them, and be sure that they will not change, and it lets them have an ordering in a list that otherwise would be meaningless.


If you're looking to break free from the tourist crowds and experience unspoiled Icelandic nature, look no further than West Iceland. Easily reachable from Reykjavik through a four-mile (6 km) tunnel beneath Hvalfjordur Fjord, West Iceland is a favorite area for vacationing Icelanders but is just beginning to be discovered by travelers.
For those who've not yet heard of this magical region, West Iceland boasts Europe's second largest glacier, the world's largest lava cave, Iceland's tallest waterfall, Europe's most powerful hot spring, an 800,000-year-old volcano, and the former home of Viking explorer Leif Eiriksson.
You could spend a week exploring the wide variety of magnificent wilderness inside Snaefellsjokull National Park. Located on Snaefellsnes Peninsula, you can expect to see pebbled beaches, basalt rock stacks, bizarre lava formations and maybe a glimpse of an Orca whale swimming offshore. Undoubtedly, the crowning jewel of this national park is Snaefellsjokull glacier-volcano which is considered one of the earth's seven energy centers.
Made even more famous as Arrow Mountain in the popular fantasy series Game of Thrones, Mt Kirkjufell is one of the most photographed mountains in Iceland. The majestic peak hovers ominously over the quiet and colorful harbor of Grundarfjörður Fjord.
This unique waterfall duo is considered by many to be the most beautiful in Iceland. While the water feeding Hraunfossar seems to appear mysteriously out of nowhere, Barnafoss has a mystery and legend of its own to reveal.
West Iceland is often referred to as Sagaland because it is where many of the ancient sagas took place. You can get in touch with your inner Viking while learning about Iceland's early settlers at several places like the Snorrastofa Saga Center in Reykholt, the Settlement Center in Borgarnes and at the turf-roof replica home of Leif Eriksson at Eiriksstadir living museum.
You can learn so much about Iceland's volcanic origins by exploring the dark underworld the lies just beneath the earth's surface. At Vidgelmir, the world's largest lava cave, visitors traverse a wooden walkway inside a massive lava tube to encounter otherworldly fire and ice formations.
Glaciers put the ice in Iceland and many travel to this country just to lay their hands on an ancient ice cap. Into the Glacier at Langjokull takes it one step further and allows visitors to see the inside of a glacier via the world's largest man-made ice tunnel. Inside the ice tunnel guests explore crystal caves and learn how global climate and the environment affect Iceland's mighty glaciers.
Newly opened on the site of Europe's most powerful hot spring, Krauma delivers big style on the authentic outdoor Icelandic spa experience. The steamy water fed by Deildatunguhver hot spring is mixed with glacial meltwater to achieve the optimum bathing temperature. Guests can choose from five different "hot pots", two steam baths and an indoor relaxation room with fireplace. The restaurant is highly recommended with Icelandic dishes featuring local fare only.
The newly opened trails of Husafell Nature Reserve are a treat for hiking lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. Using the Husafell Hiking Map this area is a wonderful place to "get lost" in the Icelandic nature without actually getting lost. You can expect to encounter large canyons, waterfalls, lava "hraun" formations, crystal rivers, woodlands (yes trees) and magnificent views of two glaciers.
At Bjarnarhofn Farm in Stykkisholmur you can experience a rotten taste of ancient Viking culture! Harkarl aka putrefied shark meat is air-dried at this farm and the rustic museum showcasing Iceland's shark hunting and eating history.
Great tasting water makes for great tasting beer. The brewmaster at Stedji Micro-brewery in West Iceland has the benefit of brewing craft beer using pure water from his mountain spring nearby. The brewery is open for public visits and is most famously known for its smoked whale testicle beer which is surprisingly tasty. However, if whale testicles aren't your thing, Stedji also puts out traditional beer flavors and seasonal brews.
If you're going to eat ice cream anywhere in the world it may as well be in Iceland. At Erpsstadir Dairy Farm in West Iceland you can learn about Icelandic agricultural life while tasting their wholesome and organic dairy products produced on site. Indisputably the favorite item to taste is their specialty ice cream that comes in unique "only in Iceland" flavors such as licorice-salt and garden-rhubarb.
When you go to Sturlureykir Visiting Horse Farm in Reykholt there is an added treat you have to try. Aside from riding and petting beautiful Icelandic horses, the horse outfitter also bakes geo earth-bread using heat from their on-site underground hot spring. Sweet tasting, chewy and delicious, this "rugbraud" is best served slathered with creamy Icelandic butter so thick you leave teeth marks.
This list of suggested travel experiences in West Iceland is by no means exhaustive. West Iceland is relatively undiscovered and a place you could go on exploring forever with memories that will last a lifetime.

We Talk to Artist Paul Stephenson About his 'After Warhol' Exhibition and The Meaning of Authenticity
After Warhol
"If you had the opportunity to work with Warhol's original assistants and screen printer and use his original materials… What would you do?" This is the question Paul Stephenson asked after finding himself in the unique position to do just that; use the very bases and materials used by Warhol to create a piece using Warhol's concepts and processes in exactly the way Warhol intended. Could the resulting artwork actually be considered an original 'Warhol'?
It was the decision to follow this thought process through to its meticulous conclusion that led to the creation of 'After Warhol', an exhibition of brand new paintings presented by Stephenson at Trinity House's London gallery earlier this month and moving to the Broadway gallery in November. Every single piece in the exhibition has been made using the original acetates Warhol used to make some of his most famous creations, as well the same processes, pigments, paints, and even Warhol's original master printer.
Self Portrait, After Warhol
"I've always been interested in the idea of authenticity and ownership," says Stephenson. "Is a work finished when an artist stops working on it?"
Citing Da Vinci's famous quote, "Art is never finished, only abandoned", Stephenson says he found himself wondering what it meant to take another artist's work and add to it. Would the resulting creation still be considered an original by the previous artist or an entirely new work of art? This in itself, as he points out, is hardly a new concept; take for example the work by Jeff Koons (or, perhaps most pertinently, Jeff Koons' assistants), or the famous Erased De Kooning by Robert Rauschenberg, or the bronze Degas statues cast from original wax sculptures years after the artist's death.
Why are some pieces considered authentic and others merely replicas or even forgeries?
In the case of Warhol and his acetates, Stephenson decided, process was key. And not without a small measure of serendipity either; take for example, Stephenson's happening upon an art shop in London about to dispose of 'old stock' that turned out to be the exact brand of paint, and the exact pigments Andy Warhol used in his original works – paints Stephenson had found to be no longer in production.
"There was Jackie's face," says Stephenson, of the moment he discovered the dusty old pots. "There was Marilyn Monroe's hair."
Jackie O, After Warhol
Stephenson also worked with Warhol's own master printer, Alexander Heinrici, who was able to screen print each piece using the same methods he used when creating work during Warhol's lifetime.
This exacting precision and meticulous attention to detail caught the eye of the art world long before the final paintings were even finished, and the process of creating 'After Warhol' was soon chronicled in the Vice documentary 'The Business of Making Art' for HBO.
From the fortuitous moment in the art shop to unveiling the final pieces to pre-eminent Warhol scholar Rainer Crone, the documentary sits nicely alongside the exhibition in asking, "What makes a 'Warhol', a 'Warhol'?"
When it comes to answering that question, Stephenson prefers to let the viewer make up their own mind as to the authenticity of the works presented. Others, however, have been less ambiguous. Vice's documentary captured Rainer Crone's reaction to the unveiling of the new paintings as he stated, "These are fantastic, they are in Warhol's concept, in his tradition, (and for other people/us to make his paintings?), it is what he wanted." He later wrote, "In my expertise (sic) opinion paintings made with these film positives under described circumstances and executed posthumously by professionals (scholars as well as printers) are authentic Andy Warhol paintings."
Whatever your opinions or beliefs about authenticity, it undoubtedly remains an intoxicating debate, one started by Warhol and now continued by Stephenson.
"I like the idea of turning the art world upside down," he says. "I think Andy liked it too." Indeed, Stephenson's refusal to comment one way or another on the authenticity of the paintings presented in 'After Warhol' gives the exhibition an air of faithfulness in itself; after all, what more did Warhol want for his work than for it to make his audience question everything?
'After Warhol' returns to Trinity House Modern, 35 High Street, Broadway from November 7th to November 19th. Come down and see these unique paintings for yourself.
Mao, After Warhol

I tried mine below but it's returning errors
sed -n '/2021/08/09 09:00:00/,/2021/08/09 11:00:00/p'  Desktop/smslog.log
sed: -e expression #1, char 7: unknown command: `0'

A: First mistake
In searching and expressions we have something named special characters, like /, *, ... that to use them in normal mode, you'll need to add \ in the start: \/, \*, \....
In conclusion, this code is wrong:
$ sed -n '/2021/08/09 09:00:00/,/2021/08/09 11:00:00/p' Desktop/smslog.log

Correct syntax:
$ sed -n '\#^2021/08/09 10:#,\#^2021/08/09 11:#p' Desktop/smslog.log

*

*In this code we used a different format from my original post that Ed suggested, but you get the idea.

Second mistake
Your sed -n command will only look upto specified lines that contain exactly your BEGIN/END, but in this query, we don't have any log exactly for 2021\/08\/09 09:00:00, so this doesn't show you anything because it doesn't find that log to start and end with your END point.
For example you can do this to get every 11:--:-- to 11:--:-- messages:
$ sed -n '\#^2021/08/09 11:#,\#^2021/08/09 11:#p' Desktop/smslog.log

A: Using any awk in any shell on every Unix box:
$ awk -v beg='2021/08/09 09:00:00' -v end='2021/08/09 11:00:00' '
    {cur=$1" "$2} (beg<=cur) && (cur<=end)

or more efficiently but a bit less clearly:
$ awk -v beg='2021/08/09 09:00:00' -v end='2021/08/09 11:00:00' '
    {cur=$1" "$2} cur>end{exit} beg<=cur
' file

You don't need GNU awk for time functions for this, all you need is a simple string comparison of the timestamps.
The reason not to try to use sed with a range expression for this is that that would require the specific timestamps used in the date command to be present in the input file (i.e. it can only support a == comparison) whereas with awk you can use >= for the start and > for the end to get timestamps within the range without those specific timestamps having to be present.

A: sed is probably not the best tool for this. If you have GNU awk you could give it a try: the mktime extension converts date/time strings to timestamps that can then be compared numerically:
$ cat foo.awk
function d2t(d) { gsub(/(\/|:)/," ",d); return mktime(d,1); }
BEGIN { a=d2t(x); b=d2t(y); }
{ d=d2t($1 " " $2); }
d>=a && d<=b

The d2t function does the conversion of your date/time strings (considered as in UTC zone to avoid DTS shifts) to UNIX timestamps. It first replaces the / and : characters by spaces with gsub.
Pass your start and stop date/times as the x and y variables. Demo:
$ awk -f foo.awk -v x="2021/08/09 09:00:00" -v y="2021/08/09 11:00:00" data.txt

A: Better using awk to get more flexibility (GNU awk):
$ awk -F[/:[:blank:]] 'BEGIN{start=mktime("2021 08 09 09 00 00");end=mktime("2021 08 09 11 00 00")} {t=mktime($1 " " $2 " " $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " $6)} t>start && t<end' file.txt

By using mktime to get and compare the timestamps, you can specify whatever range you want.
Break the lines to make it clearer:
awk -F[/:[:blank:]] '
    BEGIN{start=mktime("2021 08 09 09 00 00");
    end=mktime("2021 08 09 11 00 00")}
    {t=mktime($1 " " $2 " " $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " $6)}
    t>start && t<end' file.txt

awk -F[/:[:blank:]] '
    BEGIN{start=mktime("2021 08 09 10 40 00");
    end=mktime("2021 08 09 11 20 00")}
    {t=mktime($1 " " $2 " " $3 " " $4 " " $5 " " $6)}

The Future of Health Care
Welcome to personalized medicine, the new frontier of totally tailored health care−coming soon to a doctor's office near you
By Gretchen Voss
Kenji Toma
Michelle, a 40-year-old oral surgeon, was worried. Had been for a long time. Breast cancer and heart disease had cut down too many branches of her family tree. She strove to be a model of prevention and wellness—racking up triathlons, sticking to organic fare, following standard medical advice to the letter. Still, as a doctor, she knew it might not be enough.
What she sought was a medical crystal ball, something that could look deep inside her and accurately predict whether she'd be around to watch her young daughters thrive. What she found was Diagnostic and Medical Specialists of Greenwich, a Connecticut doctors' office on the forefront of a new kind of medicine. One that might reveal exactly what her risks were, and how she could avoid getting sick.
Michelle sat for hours with an internist who mapped out four generations of illness in her family. After a mammogram, her M.D. kept going. He ordered a genetic test for the BRCA mutations linked to breast and ovarian cancer. He studied a sub-profile of Michelle's cholesterol, looking for the kind that would fast-track her toward heart disease. He measured inflammation markers in her vital fluids to calculate the chances that she'd have a heart attack or stroke in the next 10, 20, and 30 years. Then they started planning for Michelle's long-term health.
It might sound like straight-up sci-fi, but this type of hyper-specific care is becoming a buzzed-about reality. It's called personalized medicine, and its promise, via novel technologies, is that you will soon be able to visit your doc for a tailored health plan—not for the average woman, but for you. You alone.
"This is the future," says Michael Snyder, Ph.D., director of the Stanford Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine. "You'll see what you are at risk for, then take corrective action." As evidenced by Michelle, parts of that future have already arrived. Personalized medicine is now a $232 billion market, with major research centers—from Stanford to Duke to Harvard—racing to prevent and cure disease, and to create individualized prescriptions for well-being.
The question is: Will it deliver?
This Plan's For You
Yeah, you know: Exercise 150 minutes per week, sleep eight hours per night. Avoid junk food and too much booze, and just say no to cigs. You've been getting this generic health advice since you were a teen. It's part of the existing traditional medical model, built on "standards of care" for various genders, ages, and ethnicities. (Also part of the model: trial-and-error treatments.)
Personalized medicine is poised to make that one-size-fits-all method feel as quaintly obsolete as an IBM word processor. Doctors can now peruse a Google Maps-like view of your genome and gain insight into your disease risk. "Personalized medicine uses all sorts of equipment," says Michelle's doctor, Steven Murphy, M.D. His own toolbox includes, for example, tests for gene mutations; biomarker scans that pinpoint proteins in the blood linked to certain conditions; and liver-enzyme tests that show how well someone metabolizes medication. But it's not just lab science.
"By combining molecular information with lifestyle and medical history, we can tailor treatment to the unique characteristics of each person," says Edward Abrahams, Ph.D., president of the Personalized Medicine Coalition. If a woman were, for instance, overweight and genetically predisposed to developing diabetes, her doctor could customize a preventive plan. He might do a physiological test that calculates exactly how many calories she should consume each day. A blood profile could reveal what's going on with the fatty acids, micronutrients, hormones, and proteins in her body—and whether she should eat a low-fat or low-carb diet.
Within the decade, say experts on the topic, this kind of bespoke medicine will be practiced in every hospital and clinic in the country. The potential is mind-boggling, and the research is tumbling in fast and furiously. Each month, scientists discover new disease markers, formulate new tests, and fashion new treatments. "I am tremendously optimistic about this area," says Mark Rubin, M.D., director of the Institute for Precision Medicine at Weill Cornell Medical College. "However, it's important to say this is still the cutting edge of medicine." And with that early edge comes plenty of obstacles and controversy.
At What Price, Wellness?
Here's the first, most challenging hurdle: Physicians can order the tests, scientists can sequence your genes, you can look inside your cells. . .then what? "The key is to take all this and put it together in a meaningful way," says Kathryn Teng, M.D., director of the Cleveland Clinic's Center for Personalized Healthcare.
Ideally, that's where your primary-care doctor comes in, connecting the dots and creating a plan. But not all M.D.'s are up to speed. Only 10 percent of doctors believe they have the know-how to translate personalized testing into personalized care, per the American Medical Association. Even early adopters need time to study up and get it right. "I would say that we're at a tipping point for personalized medicine, or very close to it," says Geoffrey Ginsburg, M.D., Ph.D., executive director of the Center for Personalized and Precision Medicine at Duke University. "People are knocking on our door, asking to learn more." Still, for now, unless you live near a big center, you'll probably have to wait a bit longer for fully tailored treatment.
Then there's the issue of cost. Insurance coverage is all over the map; plans vary widely, with some footing the bill and others leaving patients on their own. Sans any insurance, sequencing an entire genome runs around $5,000 to $10,000, and that doesn't include analysis. The kind of full, sophisticated workup Michelle received can push past $25,000 if you have no coverage for it. (As research continues to advance, insurers will likely get on board.)
Still being weighed are privacy and ethical concerns. Though a 2008 federal act bans employers and insurers from discriminating against you based on your genes, loopholes do exist, and the law doesn't cover disability or life insurance. And say you ask your doctor to dig deep into your molecules for something stroke-related, and he finds a Parkinson's red flag instead. "Should we tell patients about everything that may be lurking in their genome, even if they didn't ask?" asks Ginsburg. "What if we find something for which there is no treatment?"
In Reach, Right Now
So, sure, there are some accessibility issues. But pressing your doctors for tailored care now will push them to study new tests and treatments. (For example, Murphy gives each of his female patients a new saliva scan that can predict their odds of developing non-BRCA breast cancer. Many physicians, he says, have never heard of it.) And you might be able to benefit from these three personalized-medicine fields already in full swing:
Risk Prediction
Sussing out certain burps in your DNA can give you a chance to delay, prevent, or reduce the impact of disease. The best place to start? The good ol' family history. "It's not the most high-tech, but it is the most cost-effective and is important screening," says Ginsburg. The problem: Only a small percentage of medical records contain adequate family history info, likely because most doctors don't have the time—at least one hour—to do them right.
Test-wise, there are more than 1,600 genetic tests now available that can ID your susceptibility to everything from hearing loss to cardiac attacks. So if you, like Michelle, learn you inherited a gene that predisposes you to a dangerous form of high cholesterol (it raises heart-attack risk 125-fold for women), you now have massive incentive to step away from fatty foods. Or if you, for example, discover you carry one of 45 different genetic variants linked to heart attacks, you might start taking a daily aspirin earlier than your same-age gal pals.
Drug Therapies
Another subfield, pharmacogenomics, uses genetics to take the guesswork out of prescription meds. In many cases, you can get the type and dosage that's right for you—the first time around.
Today, the FDA website lists more than 100 drugs—for conditions ranging from depression to anxiety to cancer—whose labels contain pharmacogenomics information. Per the Personalized Medicine Coalition, for instance, if docs used that info every time they prescribed blood thinners, they could prevent 17,000 strokes and avoid 43,000 ER visits every year. Other examples include that heart-related aspirin therapy (Duke University researchers just created a blood test that shows who it will work for and who it won't), and a brain scan that signals whether a person with depression would best benefit from drugs or talk therapy.
There was a time when oncologists looked at cancer solely in terms of where it was located—bone or brain or blood, for example. Now, in many cases, personalized-medicine technology can tease out what exactly is driving a cancer and which drugs could shut it down. What was once simply called breast cancer may now be called triple negative or HER-2 positive (diagnoses with different treatments, says Ginsburg). Lung-cancer patients can now be tested for more than 40 glitches in 10 different cancer genes, and melanoma patients can be screened for one of 43 mutations in six genes.
In other words, fading away are the days of carpet-bombing cancer with chemo, or using one particular drug for every person who has a certain type of cancer. "In many cases, thanks to cancer genome sequencing, it is now obvious how to treat a patient," says Snyder.
The most important thing is to ask questions—lots of 'em. "Women are the ones who are going to help drive personalized medicine, since they are typically more invested in their health," says Teng. "And for people who are really motivated, personalized medicine is going to be very, very helpful."
Final case in point: Six years ago, when Stephanie, a 39-year-old nonsmoking mother of two, was diagnosed with stage IV lung cancer, her doctors said it would be fatal, fast. Stephanie had heard of personalized cancer genetics and asked for testing; her doctor said no, it wouldn't change her treatment. So she found another oncologist, who tested her, found a gene mutation, and enrolled her in a new drug trial. "I assumed I wouldn't be here today," she says. "Now, I plan for the future."

The International Conference 'Administrative Justice in the Republic of Uzbekistan: Current State and Development Prospects'
Tashkent, Uzbekistan (UzDaily.com) -- On 13-15 June, an international conference 'Administrative Justice in the Republic of Uzbekistan: Current State and Development Prospects' was held at the International Tashkent Hotel. This landmark conference was organized by the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan, with support from the 'Rule of Law Partnership in Uzbekistan' project implemented by the Supreme Court, USAID and UNDP, and by IRZ and OSCE.
This conference's objective was to take stock of the successful work being undertaken in strengthening Uzbekistan's administrative courts, and to gather recommendations from experts throughout the CIS and Eastern Europe, and from further afield, on further reforming this important tool for protecting citizen rights. The application of legal reforms in Uzbekistan's administrative courts has been a long process, one relying greatly on the inputs of international experts, and the application of global best practices.
Uzbekistan's administrative courts were originally established, in accordance with the Decree of the President of the Republic of Uzbekistan 'On measures to radically improve the structure and efficiency of the judicial system of the Republic of Uzbekistan' No. UP – 4966, dated February 21, 2017. From the start of their operation, they have served an essential function in democratizing and liberalizing Uzbekistan's government and administrative bodies, and in ensuring that citizens feel able to resolve their grievances through legal avenues. They have been a vital means for increasing transparency and openness, and preventing corruption.
In the first quarter of 2019 the administrative courts heard 5,584 public law cases, with the rights of 4,635 citizens and legal entities being restored as a result, and with disciplinary actions being subsequently taken against 36 officials. Since their first establishment in 2017, a major focus of administrative court development has been to ensure accessibility, and as such 89,044 cases, or more than 57% of all cases heard by administrative courts were heard through mobile court sessions.
The three days of the conference saw the presentation of the main directions of administrative and judicial reforms in Uzbekistan, as conducted over the last year, in accordance with the Action Strategy on five priority directions of development of Uzbekistan in 2017-2021, and Sustainable Development Goal 16.
The conference featured discussions on matters which ranged from the on-going reforms to administrative justice in the Republic of Uzbekistan, to an overview of national law, the methods applied in improving lawyer participation in criminal processes, and challenges faced when enhancing administrative justice in Russia and in OSCE countries (with lessons for Uzbekistan).
Breakout sessions focused on the structure of Uzbekistan's administrative courts system, and the main approaches through which administrative courts have resolved public disputes and addressed cases regarding administrative offenses.
The three-day conference ended with a press briefing that presented the event's key outcomes, and a public dialogue on the importance of administrative proceedings in protecting human rights and interests. The conference's participants were also invited to tour the Shaykhontakhur and Chilanzar district administrative courts, to witness first-hand the benefits administrative courts have in preserving the legitimate rights and interests of citizens.
Over 150 participants were present at the conference, including international experts, representatives from international Supreme Courts and legal professionals, from Central Asia and East European countries (Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Belarus), from Armenia, Austria, Germany, France, Spain and the US.
Also attending were judges and staff of the Supreme Court of the Republic of Uzbekistan, Tashkent state and regional courts dealing with administrative issues, staff of the Supreme Judicial Council, representatives from the Supreme School of Judges, the Ministry of Justice, the General Prosecutor's Office, and the Chamber of Advocates of the Republic of Uzbekistan, and representatives of national institutions on human rights, civil society, key academia, and representatives of mass media.

What do you mean by zombie computers?
Zombie computer, computer or personal computer (PC) connected to the Internet and taken over by a computer worm, virus, or other "malware." Groups of such machines, called botnets (from a combination of robot and network), often carry out criminal actions without their owners' detecting any unusual activity.
What is the other name of zombie computers?
A bot, in this case, is a device infected by malicious code, which then becomes part of a network, or net, of infected machines all controlled by a single attacker or attack group. A bot is sometimes called a zombie, and a botnet is sometimes referred to as a zombie army.
What can be used to turn your computer into a zombie?
A bot, short for "robot", is a type of software application or script that performs automated tasks on command. Bad bots perform malicious tasks that allow an attacker to remotely take control over an affected computer. Once infected, these machines may also be referred to as zombies.
What is zombie drone?
A Zombie Drone is defined as a hi-jacked computer that is being used anonymously as a soldier or ' drone ' for malicious activity (e.g., distribute unwanted spam e-mails) by an unknown party.

What does a rootkit do?
The whole purpose of a rootkit is to protect malware. Think of it like an invisibility cloak for a malicious program. This malware is then used by cybercriminals to launch an attack. The malware protected by rootkit can even survive multiple reboots and just blends in with regular computer processes.
What is a Trojan Horse attack?
A Trojan horse is a type of malware that downloads onto a computer disguised as a legitimate program. A Trojan horse is so-called due to its delivery method, which typically sees an attacker use social engineering to hide malicious code within legitimate software.
How do hackers use botnets?
Botnets can be used to perform Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attacks, steal data, send spam, and allow the attacker to access the device and its connection. The owner can control the botnet using command and control (C&C) software. The word " botnet " is a portmanteau of the words "robot" and "network".
How Botnets are created?
To build a botnet, botmasters need as many infected online devices or "bots" under their command as possible. Cybercriminals use botnets to create a similar disruption on the internet. They command their infected bot army to overload a website to the point that it stops functioning and/or access is denied.
What are the types of botnets?
What are the Types of Botnets? Botnets can be categorized into two types: Centralized, Client-Server Model. Decentralized, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Model.
Are Botnets easy to track down?
Once Mirai finds a device, it uses common default passwords from manufacturers to log in and infect the device. These devices still work, so the botnet is difficult to detect. The botnet has disrupted services around the world, including Spotify, Reddit, and The New York Times.

What is known as DoS attack?
A Denial-of-Service ( DoS ) attack is an attack meant to shut down a machine or network, making it inaccessible to its intended users. DoS attacks accomplish this by flooding the target with traffic, or sending it information that triggers a crash.
Are all bots malicious?
Some bots are legitimate—for example, Googlebot is an application used by Google to crawl the Internet and index it for search. Other bots are malicious —for example, bots used to automatically scan websites for software vulnerabilities and execute simple attack patterns.
What is Zombie cybercrime?
In computing, a zombie is a computer connected to the Internet that has been compromised by a hacker, computer virus, computer worm, or trojan horse program and can be used to perform malicious tasks of one sort or another under remote direction.

The Gladiolas - Excello 2101 (1957)
From wikipedia...
Little Darlin' was written by Maurice Williams with both melody and doo-wop accompaniment strongly emphasizing the clave rhythm. It was first recorded by Excello Records in January 1957 and quickly released as a rhythm-and-blues song by Williams's R&B group, The Gladiolas. The song is noted for its spoken recitation by the lead singer ("My Darlin' I need you...").
The Gladiolas, featuring Williams, were from Lancaster, South Carolina, where they had been together since high school. Their original version of the song was on the small Excello label. (Excello primarily recording "swamp blues" songs in Crowley, Louisiana.)
The Gladiolas song peaked at number 11 on the R&B charts in April 1957, but barely dented the hot 100. By 1959, Williams' group became "Maurice Williams and the Zodiacs" with the rock 'n roll- R&B hit Stay.

Ancient Science and Dreams: Oneirology in Greco-Roman Antiquity (Paperback)
By M. Andrew Holowchak
This Book Is Not Sold Online - Inquire In Store
In Ancient Science and Dreams, M. Andrew Holowchak analyzes the ancient notion of science of dreams throughout Greco-Roman antiquity, from the Classical Greece in the fifth century B.C. to the Roman Republic in the fourth century A.D. Holowchak investigates psycho-physiological accounts, interpretation of prophetic dreams, and the use of dreams in secular and non-secular medicine. Culling from some of the fullest and most important accounts of dreams and ordering the presentation in each section chronologically, the author analyzes the extent to which empirical and non-empirical factors guided ancient accounts in Greco-Roman antiquity.
M. Andrew Holowchak is Visiting Assistant Professor in the Department of Philosophy, Ohio University.
Publisher: University Press of America

Comcast (CMCSK) announced plans to buy Time Warner Cable (TWC) Thursday in a deal worth $45.2 billion. The deal requires regulatory approval and is expected to close later this year. One of the big questions is what the impact of the merger would be on customers. The answer is complicated, but the likely outcome is that the deal won't be good for individuals.
The companies claim in their materials that the deal is "pro-consumer, pro-competitive, and will generate substantial public interest benefits." Comcast goes on to list technical upgrades, including improved network speeds, claims that Time Warner customers will get faster Internet service.
Comcast does offer some fast speeds, but those are always couched with the moderating phrase, "up to." Cable companies connect consumers to their offices through loops that go out and return. The more people on a given loop at the same time, the slower the performance for any one person. Start combining operations between companies, and you might end up with more people per loop and, therefore, increased pressure on the actual connection speeds they experience.
Interestingly, according to DSLReports.com, in the past Time Warner's CEO claimed that users didn't want even faster connection speeds because they weren't signing up for the fastest ones the company offered at the time. The criticism is that people didn't want the faster speeds because they were overpriced. It's a reminder that the availability of faster speeds, no matter which cable provider is involved, typically means higher prices. Unless consumers happen to live in one of the areas where the highest speeds are available and are willing to pay more, the technology promises may be immaterial.
For many consumers, cable is a virtual monopoly. Neighborhoods or even entire towns may have contracts with a specific provider, which means a lack of competitive pricing. The long-standing theory is that wiring and maintaining an area is expensive and the provider doesn't want to do so only to have competitors ride off its work without having had to make any infrastructure investment.
In that sense, nothing will change. However, local cable contracts come up for renewal, which is when competition can come into play. The fewer big cable providers competing for that town's business, the fewer potential bidders and the more likely prices will be higher. Collectively, consumers have less leverage.
That could lead to -- if not higher prices -- a potential downgrade in service. Comcast has tested consumer data caps, which can reduce the ability of people to watch as much streamed entertainment over the Internet as they would like. According to The Consumerist, Netflix streaming speeds for Comcast have dropped sharply. If the merger is consummated, Time Warner Cable customers will likely have the same terms as Comcast customers.
Perhaps the biggest unknown is how the merger might affect the range of programming available to customers. Comcast owns NBCUniversal and has an economic interest in pushing use of those programs and web sites over ones from competing sources. Also, both Comcast and Times Warner have gotten into disputes with content providers over so-called carriage agreements. These disagreements sometimes result in cable companies temporarily removing programming from the lineup.
If Comcast, already the No. 1 cable provider joins with the No. 2 provider to becomes the 100-pound gorilla of the industry, it could have more leverage over content providers to force deals.
Suffice it to say, with a market share of close to 30 percent, the combined entity would have a greater ability to put pressure on programmers and push the industry to satisfy its interests and not necessarily those of consumers.
