The Cultural Legacy of the Pre-Ashkenazic Jews in Eastern Europe (Taubman Lectures in Jewish Studies #8)
Moshe Taube
A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press's Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more.
This book uncovers cultural traces of the ancient Jewry of Eastern Europe from the 10th to 15th centuries. These traces take the form of translations from Hebrew into East Slavic, ranging from accounts of Old Testament prophets and other historical figures of interest to both Jews and Christians, such as Alexander the Great, to scientific and philosophical texts on everything from astronomy to physiognomy to metaphysics. Moshe Taube's fine-grained analysis teases out a robust picture of this massive cultural enterprise: the translators, their erudition, their biases, and their collaborative method of translation with neighboring Christians. Summarizing over thirty years of philological and linguistic research, this book offers a substantial original contribution to the cultural history of Jews in Eastern Europe and their interaction with, and influence on, Slavic culture in the Middle Ages and Early Modern period.

Moshe Taube is Professor Emeritus of Linguistics and Slavic Studies at The Hebrew University in Jerusalem. He is author of The Logika of the Judaizers: A Fifteenth Century Ruthenian Translation from Hebrew and co-editor of The Slavonic Book of Esther: Text, Lexicon, Linguistic Analysis and Problems of Translation and The Secret of Secrets: The East Slavic Version.

Do you choose Frustration or Joy?
You have a hard job in front of you. Each stage of parenting has its own troubles, but it is when your children are little that sleep seems to evade you the most. You are so tired that you wonder if you will ever not feel this way again.
Fathers are vital to every child's existence. I'm not just talking about in the creation of a child but in their well-being. I've spoken with many children who have had absentee fathers have struggled with understanding how God can love them if their earthly father doesn't want them. The father is vital.

The city of Ibiza or Eivissa houses three large beaches with some peculiarities.
Located next to the natural paradise of Ses Paises, enjoy a beach full of services in a very natural environment. Ideal for walks and sports Beach, enjoys a wide sandy area. Develop good communication with the city in one of the favorite of the general public. If you are looking for a Beach in Ibiza near the port, this is a good option.
The urban beach of Eivissa. In the Bay next to the port, we found three natural beaches along a promenade. Very set, both by day and by night, is a perfect place if you are looking inside of the city. At dusk, a small flea market surrounds the most central part of the ride.
We are one of the most picturesque beaches in the town of San Antonio near the port, opposite the Passeig de Ses Fonts. The presence of large nightclubs gives a special animation in the evening of this town. The musical bars occupy much of the beach.
San Antonio Bay is very prolific on beaches. It is located next to the beach of S'Arenal and can access it by road, taking a small detour, or via the coast. It is a popular tourist place with enough accommodation in the surrounding area.
The more English Beach on the island. This Cove is located to the North of the port. Numerous musical venues give a special atmosphere to small arenal. The sunsets are well known as Chill Out music that resonates in the bars with more popularity. Café del Mar can be a good example.
Probably the best of the coves of Ibiza. We don't say it. Magazines have named it the second best beach in Europe. And that reason is missing them. In an natural environment, a very neat Beach opens road sheltered from the wind. Probably the best Beach in Ibiza to snorkel.
The younger sister of Cala Gracio. The Bay which includes both is separated by a land incoming arenal splitting in two. So flirtatious one as another. If you stay in the surroundings it is a perfect choice. The quietness and the good atmosphere add votes on your visit to Ibiza.
Speaking of Santa Eulalia is traverse steep landscapes while closer to the North. That rise, we are a sandy nestled between a very steep coast. The descent to the beach is quite pronounced , but that doesn't mean the beautiful landscape that we discover.
Also known as channel d' Marti, this succession of arenales and low profile coast offers a unique set. The presence of an ancient Roman sitewe can add to his record. Boat ramps that occupy its coast offer spaces of sand where to sunbathe comfortably.
This beach has two aspects. The best known leads to the famous mud baths which are located to the North. Here the beach is a strange mixture between nudists and young people. To the South the environment changes being much more familiar. The natural framework in which is is fantastic.
Santa Eulalia Ibiza nearest Cove found in this place. After the great Bay of Talamanca coast hardens to a stretch deep and hidden. Before us a Beach flanked by two long jetties. A bar will be our contact with civilization. A place to explore.
Located in the Centre of the town, with a spectacular seafront, this Beach boasts of one of the best equipped. Located next to the Marina of renown, an vast sand area allows to enjoy children and adults in a relaxed atmosphere with many recreational activities.
Most famous for its market which by its beach, this small town has been made with a hole in the tourist scene. The presence of a jetty facilitates the arrival of recreational boats and marine excursions. The beach has enough services in a relaxed atmosphere.
If you like to enjoy the swell, in the days of wind this Cove is simply spectacular. With an beautiful arenal, the wind tends to blow with intensity. The water becomes crystal clear in the calmer days. Next to the main beach, a small Cove rocky but very quiet even in the summer, will give us shelter.
This Cove is an over one long succession of coves along this coastal stretch. This time we talk about a deeper stretch of sand with water activities varied. The skysurf is undisputed protagonist. The surroundings are not only highly recommended for lovers of hiking.
Located to the West of Ca Na Martina and only separated from it by a few meters. A Jetty gives us the possibility to move from the town of Santa Eulalia until these calm waters. With everything you need for a day of beach, Cala Pada continues to amaze both inside and in the vicinity.
The only River of the Balearic Islands was not going to be less. The mouth is located on the perimeter of the village, next to the beach of Santa Eulalia, forming a wide coastal arm barely separated by some rocks. The natural arenal is preceded by a beautiful stroll alongside the boats and a very abundant wildlife.
This beach is not very well known. But it is a beauty. Flanked by a five-star hotel, access is a maze that leads to a beach of clear sands and crystal clear water. A very beautiful place with the Centre of Santa Eulalia as a backdrop.
To the North of Es Canar, only separated by a few hundred meters, we find another adorable corner. Cala Nova is a different beach, a much more folksy environment. The presence of a campsite in the vicinity may be a good reason. Its vast sand area is a perfect place to spend a pleasant day.
This beach is rather unusual. An arm of the sea invaded the land, creating a small lake where walking on the waters. Arenal becomes especially wide leaving us a much appreciated recreation area among the local population. An ideal place to spend the day with family. You have to see it.
Much has changed this beach since our last visit. The reform of the hotel of the same name has been accompanied by a general cleaning and the creation of a good Pier. Now Beach glitters like never before as well as its surroundings. The atmosphere is pretty quiet..
The West coast of the island is a very different place to everything we talked about previously. Cala Carbó is a good example. The vegetation becomes pine forest and scrubland low. Tranquility prevails thanks to the little opening to sea Cove, offering. Waters calm and good atmosphere.
Another of our favorite coves. Cala Vadella is situated in an unexpected setting. It is hard to describe the sensation produced by turning the steering wheel and find similar visual spectacle. It may that we find difficult to park but the place is worth since then.
This Cove has to be part of your agenda if you like quiet places. The first arriving intends to dive in and let the time pass. The best remedy for stress if it is what you need. Luckily, it is a great unknown to the general public. Sand, crystal clear water and great peace.
A Cove with access very complicated, especially if you have a long car. Parking will not be easy. There is only sand, all are rounded. By extension, it is not especially striking. If you're asking has this beach as a tranquility that few others know.
If you've seen an ad of a cala in Ibiza with spectacular houses facing the sea, chances are that you've already seen Es Cubells. The accessibility by car is uncomfortable. By boat it is not the same, and many of the clients who come to their exclusive beach bars choose this means of transport. Several small coves that tops a cliff of vertigo.
This is not a Creek, it is a paradise , enveloped in a magical essence. Located opposite the islets of Es Vedrà and Es Vedranell, considered one of the sources of energy on the planet, the mystery and legend that surround these waters make it a unique place in Ibiza. You can not miss the sunset.
More nudist beach of the island. Located in the Natural Park of Ses Salines, World Heritage site, is the place chosen to practice Nudism. If we advance along the beach we discover several very popular environment bars. With Formentera as Fund, the reserve is of incomparable beauty.
Another of the beaches that surround the Park of Ses Salines bears his name. Along with the salt Pier, is the island of Ibiza where are the famous. With a few exclusive bars, its sand is always full of statuesque bodies. The vicinity of the beach are very beautiful.
The last beach that surrounds the Park is a little frequented codols (rounded) set. The truth is that we are at the entrance of the sea to the salt mines. Es Codolar converted view of flamingos and herons, coupled with the frequent presence of very chosen marine species in a different place.
A beach made thoroughly. Next to the first human deposit discovered on the island, this beach access was more human than divine. Although the notice for detachment of the coast is constant, the attraction and beauty of the place make it a center of very usual meeting in the island.
Of all the musical environments beaches, Cala Jondal is the most varied. Three bars with three different styles are a first line of beach. The sand make Act of presence on rare occasions on the boulders. The sundown, lights, camera and action.
If you stay one day in Ibiza and we had to give you a beach to see before you go, Cala Tarida leave you with a terrifying desire to return. The main beach offers many attractions, but nothing comparable with the surroundings. The afternoon bustle is spectacular and the best beaches to watch the sunset.
The Ibizan Beach par excellence. If you have not been here, you haven't seen Ibiza. Three adjoining beaches offering a spectacular views of the island of Bosc. During the summer it is also one of the most sought after. The strong currents provide crystal clear water difficult to match. As difficult as the famous sunset.
One of the most unusual beaches from San Antonio and, probably, of the most used. The presence of a campsite creates a homely atmosphere in its entirety, that is enough. A small lagoon welcomes us to a full service beach. A wharf will allow us to move by sea.
The beach to the North of the municipality of San José is located in a small isolated Cove. Just before arriving at the car park you will find a chain of hotels that have become a highly sought after location. Its great arenal contrasts with the depth of a coastline formed by perfect platforms for sunbathing without smearing of sand.
Our passage through the municipality of San Juan becomes a coming and going of small coves of difficult access. Cala xuclà responds perfectly to this profile. You won't find many people here hardly available services, but it is really lovely. Just a few meters of sand and small rounded ahead.
Probably, the quiet coves of Ibiza. Few are able to come and many less than down the road with the car. If you are of those who dare, these one cala very lonely. Immersed between mountains, the spectacular landscape leaves no room for doubt. One of the most impressive.
The port of San Miguel is a large Bay which features small coves to its around. Some are accessible through a simple stroll. Others have a more complicated access. But if we decided to stay in port, we will have all the services that we can imagine. Important the visit to the caves of Can Marca.
This is not a beach. They are two. A small arm of sea land joins the most expensive island in the world. The result is a magnificent landscape on both sides of the passage. From the front, the view of all the port of San Miguel. From behind, spectacular cliffs on a seafloor.
The smallest of the small coves of San Miguel. For we must get walking from the beach of port through a small path. Arriving, it will look otherworldly. Protected by cliffs, the noise of the beach is hardly perceptible. Just any canoe bother us from time to time.
Three creeks form the Bay of Portinatx, in the North of the island. A beautiful walk will allow us to travel most. The water dazzled by its turquoise blue. It is an area halfway between the tourist and the residential. As choice for sleep during the holidays, it's perfect.
This Cove was conquered by the big resorts for years. Aware of the potential of this beautiful space occupied its sea front. It is the only human presence in a panorama that includes much of the coast. The views of Es Figueral and Aguas Blancas have no waste.
The beach where you will find the "finger of God", nickname that referred to the small islet that emerges a few hundred meters offshore. Apart from the charm of the landscape, is known as the Festival of drums. At sunset, the beach rumbles to the sound of hard-to-describe songs.
One of the most secluded Island beaches. The way she is full of surprises. A viewpoint on the road will show us the beauty of a rocky coast. Arriving at the beach, a set of huge stones comes the sea. The sand becomes very thick. It comes from a great batter who will protect us from the wind.
Here we have found a very small stretch of sand between outgoing Rocky. Being flat rocks they are perfect to relax without the discomfort of sand. It is preferable to eat something in the quiet bar found in a superior platform than for a swim in its waters.
Would you like to discover one of the most secluded and beautiful island coves? Because we're going to ask that you share this website on any of your social networks and access to a unique place.

Hafnium's Scorched-Earth Cyberattacks: A Sign of What's to Come?
Posted by Joe Hannan on Apr 15, 2021 11:26:05 AM
Some people just want to watch the world burn. Never has that been more apparent than in the recent exploit of Microsoft's On-Premise Exchange Server, a hack with massive implications. The perpetrators, it seems, may just want to sow chaos.
Cybercriminals often have a narrow focus. Historically, that's been the case with Hafnium, the people Microsoft says are behind the OWA breach. Until now, Hafnium's game has been to hack infectious disease researchers, law firms, defense contractors, policy think tanks, and NGOs to steal and distribute, or ransom, their intellectual property. With the Exchange exploit, Hafnium is going for quantity, according to KrebsonSecurity. So far, about 30,000 public and private institutions have been breached. But globally, CBS reports that the number is in the hundreds of thousands.
Understanding the tactics
Krebs calls this mass ransomware. The attack exploited a since-closed vulnerability that allowed Hafnium to install "webshells," which you can think of as backdoors to an infected computer or server. According to Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), webshells are pieces of code that can allow a hacker to take over a machine, extract data and credentials, upload malware, or control a network. Once installed, a cybercriminal can use a webshell to cripple a company or steal its data, restoring access after the company pays a ransom.
Most medium- to large-sized businesses have migrated to the more secure Office365, leaving On-Premise Exchange mostly to small businesses, police departments, city and state governments, hospitals, and individuals. By turning on the OWA exploit, Hafnium may be going for quantity. It's also possible something more nefarious is afoot.
Hafnium is a Chinese group of hackers. This fact largely would be inconsequential if the attack didn't occur amid increasingly tense diplomatic relations between the U.S. and China. Recently, Admiral Philip Davidson testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee, sounding the alarm that China may move to take Taiwan within the next six years.
"I worry that they're accelerating their ambitions to supplant the United States and our leadership role in the rules-based international order," Davidson said. "They've long said they want to do that by 2050. I'm worried about them moving that closer."
Is cyberwarfare a component of China's strategy? We've certainly seen nation states target one another with cyberattacks, the most recent example being the FireEye/SolarWinds breach, carried out by Russia's S.V.R. intelligence service. Is the Exchange attack an act of cyberwarfare carried out by the Chinese Communist Party? Time will tell. But what better way to sow chaos than to disrupt the U.S. economy, government, and citizens from the bottom up?
Inside the attack
To understand the severity of this breach, consider that Microsoft typically follows a schedule for releasing fixes. Its Patch Tuesdays usually occur on the second and (sometimes) fourth Tuesdays of the month. The Exchange breach was so severe that Microsoft issued a patch on Tuesday, March 2 (not a Patch Tuesday). Microsoft followed this unusual move with a series of patches for out-of-date exchange versions.
The cybersecurity firm Volexity caught wind of the breach in January and notified Microsoft. However, in the interim, CBS reports that Hafnium hackers have since used the webshells to steal passwords and install cryptocurrency-mining software on servers. A leak by a Microsoft security partner may have exacerbated the situation, and this leak may have signaled open season to other state actors, including Russia.
Unfortunately, patches do not expel cybercriminals who have already gained access to systems. Over time, Hafnium could ransom compromised servers, sell them to other bad actors, use them as part of a larger distributed attack, or use them as part of an attack chain against the organization in the future.
What to do about it
In short, if you're a business owner, migrate your business to Office365. Office365 is an example of software as a service (SAAS), meaning you pay for a license to use the software, which is centrally hosted on a Microsoft server. The advantage with SAAS is that in this case, it's Microsoft's problem to keep that server and your data secure. Businesses running OWA must secure their own infrastructure, which is a challenge contingent on business size and resources.
If migrating to Office365 isn't an option, your next best line of defense is to install any and all Microsoft-issued patches. From there, continue (or begin) cloud-based backups to prevent data loss in the event of a ransom attack. CISA also issued the following guidance for federal agencies, which you can implement.
Collect digital forensic images of your servers. These are complete backups that include content, unused space, and slack data.
Scan all servers and digital assets for known vulnerabilities.
Microsoft has issued a script that reviews all log files for indicators of compromise (IOCs). Run it, says CISA.
The Exchange breach also represents another example of the importance of user security awareness training and good policy and procedures. If a user can't access their account but didn't recall resetting their password, is your IT investigating their identity and access logs? Also, your employees should know how to spot social engineering attempts and how to use proper password security. Furthermore, your IT department should establish a baseline for activity at the firewall and monitor for any changes, especially in unusual outgoing connections. Finally, if you aren't using non-SMS-based multi-factor authentication, you should be.
If you had the misfortune of running Exchange OWA during this attack, taking these steps will do little if you've already been breached. This is where working with an elite cybersecurity firm will pay dividends. Incident response is essential, but it's only the beginning of the process. A good cybersecurity firm will eliminate any existing breaches and help you create a risk reduction plan, which might include penetration testing, social engineering testing, continuous security monitoring, and employee security training.
We're only a few months into 2021, and already we've seen two unprecedented security breaches originating from hostile nations. The implications are clear: Cyberwarfare likely will continue to escalate and affect those who previously have been insulated. We're likely to see more cybercriminals, like Hafnium, who are content to watch the world burn. Prepare yourself and your business accordingly.


Knoxville News Sentinel's Jack Lail describes steps his organization took to improve the online conversation.
The hate-hate relationship between news organizations and commenters on their Web sites may be improving, thanks to smart journalists who see the value of engaging their users in discussion on line and are willing to develop strategies to make the conversation better for everyone.
Jack Lail, Director of News Innovation of the Knoxville News Sentinel, exemplifies that attitude. He shared his news organization's approach to comments at a Webinar at Poynter's News University Thursday.
The key, Lail said, is to get users involved in moderating the discussion.
1. Give users tools to help manage the conversation. Knoxnews.com's redesign this summer gave community members the ability for community to take down comments or ban users subject to approval by the staff.
2. Recognize mitigating factors. For example, misinformation in comments threads tends to be corrected pretty quickly by other users, Lail said.
3. Develop a strategic understanding.Underscore the value of comments to the news organization and use issues that arise as a springboard to conversation on best practices.
4.Put technology in service of goals.In addition to enabling users to flag inappropriate comments, knoxnews.com allows users to hide comments, staff monitor comments from newly registered commenters and freezes comment threads or disallows them on certain stories. Knoxnews uses profanity filers. Editors and reporters can use RSS feeds to monitor comments.
5. Train the staff. The newsroom recently expanded the responsibity for monitoring comments to virtually every editor on the staff and reporters are encouraged to be present in comments on their stories—responding to commenter questions, for example. Lail said the newsroom has held brown bags to discuss issues around managing comments, including when to take them down or ban users, "terms of engagement" with users, and setting and enforcing boundaries of civil debate.
Lail's organization focused on comments as part of the Associated Press Managing Editors Credibility Project and NewsU will present five more Webinars on APME credibility project. I was particularly interested in attending because civic engagement with news is a focus of my fellowship at the Reynolds Journalism Institute.
Lail said Knoxnews.com decided to look at comments after being inundated with racist and other unacceptable comments on stories about a horrific murder case in which the victims were white and the suspects black. In May, the news organization hosted a community forum that included the mother of one of the murder victims. As a result of that session, Knoxnews.com decided to "be more ruthless" about taking down offensive comments and banning trolls (users who live to pick fights) quickly.
Lail's message—that comments can be kept civil and that they must be part of any news organization's agenda—is an important one. The digital public isn't going to be leaving the civic table any time soon. The real question is whether journalists and news organizations will play host to the public or it will find engagement elsewhere.


Wholly Tired or Holy Tired?
Homeschool mom, are you ever really, really tired?
I know that I am. I have fallen asleep in the middle of the floor while my kids played legos around me. I have dozed off during our read aloud time. I have struggled through many a homeschool day while trying to stay awake.
I'm going to share with you how a changed perspective has helped me continue through difficult and tiring days.
When my husband came home from work last week, he found me sound asleep on the couch wearing my pj's, fuzzy socks, 5 hair bows, a tiara, and several splotches of paint.
Two kids were working on the puzzle not 2 feet from me. One child was on the floor eating a snack on the rug beneath me. Two other children were sword fighting with foam swords and super hero capes 3 feet behind the couch. I was blissfully sleeping through the mess and the chaos. Not even the shouts and screams that greeted Daddy as he walked in the door awoke me. Nope, I was truly dead to the world on that Thursday afternoon. My husband even tried speaking to me or waking me without any success. I never moved. He did check to make sure I was actually still alive, but once he was certain I was breathing, he kicked the kids outside to play some soccer with him so I could sleep in a quiet and empty house.
I will admit that this was not the first time this scenario played out. There have been other times when my husband has arrived on the scene to find me sound asleep in the middle of the floor or in one of the children's bean bag chairs.
Other times I have sat down after dinner and promptly fallen asleep while sitting up. I have tried to read bedtime stories to the kids only to fall asleep after 2 pages, prompting the child to go find Daddy for him to finish.
I try to go to bed early. I try to get adequate rest. I try to plan my days well and avoid over scheduling. But it simply doesn't matter.
Homeschooling – on every level – is simply exhausting. By the end of each day I am worn out and wholly tired.
My exhaustion at the end of the day (especially by Friday afternoon) has led me to grumble and complain. No matter how I rearrange the schedule, plan ahead, take breaks, pre-cook meals, or enforce rest times, I am totally spent by the end of each week.
This has caused me to reevaluate my priorities. I've cut out any extra activities and tried to plan well. But even with those changes, I know that I'll still be exhausted. So, I've decided to change my perspective instead.
I have the privilege of homeschooling. This may be the most difficult task I have ever undertaken, but it is a privilege to be able to teach my kids the things they want to learn and the topics that interest them. It's exciting to teach them the concepts that they are ready to learn and see them understand, create, imagine, and remember.
I made the choice to do this crazy thing. No one is forcing me to homeschool. It's a choice I made several years ago with the support of my husband. I have to remind myself of this often – homeschooling is not a punishment but a privilege, no matter how challenging or exhausting it may be.
This change in perspective has helped me continue on through the many long and tiring days of parenting and homeschooling little ones.
Yes, by the end of my week I am tired in the worst way. My days are filled with loving, discipling, teaching, correcting, dreaming, encouraging, challenging, questioning, and inspiring my little people.
Each day is full of art, reading, math, languages, grammar, history, and science. I get to open the door of learning wide and watch them dance and leap through. Their passions and excitement humbles and inspires me to never lose their childlike wonder.
Each day is filled with conversations that give me glimpses into their innermost thoughts with a peak into their hearts and emotions. I have the job of shepherding them as they experience the world and know every emotion.
So, rather than view myself as wholly tired I'd like to think that I'm holy tired. I'm exhausted from a week of good deeds that have encouraged and inspired. It's a holy task to have little hearts entrusted to your care as you guide them to grow and learn.
When I'm struggling to finish out my day or when I'm afraid I'm too tired to continue, I'll remember that my exhaustion comes from being holy tired and I think that will give me the willpower that I need to continue on in this task day after day.
Be encouraged homeschool momma. I'm sure you're tired too. Know that you're doing a good work. While your long, busy days are really just fleeting moments in the bigger picture of life, you have a lasting impact on the little ones that you encourage, challenge, inspire, and direct.
And, praise God for a husband who is "ok" with letting momma get some extra rest!
Beautiful perspective, though I do not know how you do all that you do! You are a busy momma!

Coronavirus declared global health emergency by WHO – ghanapublisher.com
The new coronavirus has been declared a global emergency by the World Health Organization, as the outbreak continues to spread outside China.
"The main reason for this declaration is not what is happening in China but what is happening in other countries," said WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.
The concern is that it could spread to countries with weaker health systems.
The death toll now stands at 170 people in China.
The WHO said there had been 98 cases in 18 countries outside of the country, but no deaths.
Most cases have emerged in people who have travelled from the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak began.
However, there have been eight cases of human-to-human infection – in Germany, Japan, Vietnam and the United States.
Dr Tedros, speaking at the press conference in Geneva, described the virus as an "unprecedented outbreak" that has been met with an "unprecedented response".
He praised the "extraordinary measures" Chinese authorities had taken to prevent it from spreading.
"Let me be clear, this declaration is not a vote of no confidence in China," he added.
BBC Health correspondent James Gallagher said the WHO will now be able to support lower and middle income countries, helping them strengthen their disease surveillance and prepare them for possible cases.
How unusual is this declaration?
The WHO declares a Public Health Emergency of International Concern when there is "an extraordinary event which is determined … to constitute a public health risk to other states through the international spread of disease".
It has previously declared five global public health emergencies:
Swine flu, 2009 –The H1N1 virus spread across the world in 2009, killing more than 200,000 people, and a public health emergency was called to ensure the world was carefully monitoring its spread and able to respond, including with vaccines.
Polio, 2014 – Although closer than ever to eradication in 2012, polio numbers rose in 2013. An emergency was declared due to fears the global fight against its eradication could face a major setback.
Zika, 2016 – The WHO declared Zika a public health emergency in 2016 after the disease spread rapidly through the Americas. Although for many Zika symptoms are mild, it can be dangerous for pregnant women and the emergency was called to spur urgent research.
Ebola, 2014 and 2019 – The deadly disease has twice been declared a public health emergency. The first one lasted from August 2014 to March 2016 as almost 30,000 people were infected and more than 11,000 died in West Africa. The WHO cited "the virulence of the virus, the intensive community and health facility transmission patterns, and the weak health systems" in affected countries. A second emergency was declared last year as an outbreak spread in DR Congo.
How is China handling the outbreak?
Although questions have been raised about transparency, the WHO has praised China's handling of the outbreak. President Xi Jinping has vowed to defeat what he called a "devil" virus.
The central province of Hubei, where nearly all deaths have occurred, is in a state of lockdown. The province of 60 million people is home to Wuhan, the heart of the outbreak.
The city has effectively been sealed off and China has put numerous transport restrictions in place to curb the spread of the virus.
People who have been in Hubei are also being told by their employers to work from home until it is considered safe for them to return.
The virus is affecting China's economy, the world's second-largest, with a growing number of countries advising their citizens to avoid all non-essential travel to the country.
Several international airlines have stopped or scaled back their routes to China.

Video: I Prophecy TB Joshua's death – Prophet Nigel Gaisie – ghanapublisher.com
The founder and leader of Hill Chapel Worldwide Prophetic , Prophet Nigel Gaisie has linked a prophecy he gave during 31st December 2020 night vigil to the death of Nigerian popular prophet TB Joshua.
"On Saturday 5th June 2021, Prophet TB Joshua spoke during the Emmanuel TV Partners Meeting: "Time for everything — time to come here for prayer and time to return home after the service," T.B. Joshua Ministries wrote in a Facebook post. "God has taken His servant Prophet TB Joshua home — as it should be by divine will. His last moments on earth were spent in the service of God. This is what he was born for, lived for and died for."
Joshua's cause of death was not stated. Since his rise to prominence in the late 1990s, the popular preacher was renowned for his philanthropy, prosperity teachings, and purported healings and miracles.
In a recent facebook post by Prophet Nigel Gaisie, he posted an edited video with TB Joshua's image and a prophecy he gave during 31st December 2020 night vigil.
The prophecy which was numbered 7 among his prophecies said a famous man of God will pass on but did not mention a specific name of the man or the country the man comes from.

Video: Ghanaian Lady shot dead in Miami
A Ghanaian woman believed to be in her 30s has reportedly been shot and killed in the US.
The lady in question has been identified as Rachel Maame Adwoa Amuah.
She is reported to have been shot dead around 1:20am on the seventh-floor of a high rise building on the 698 NE First Avenue on Thursday, May 6, 2021.
Miami Local 10 News reporter that the police after receiving a distress call in the area found the victim severely wounded around her neck from an apparent gunshot.
Reports say she was taken to the Jackson Memorial Hospital's Ryder Trauma Center in critical condition. She reportedly died shortly after.
A Miami Police officer named Kenia Fallat is quoted as saying "Right now, we have one person that has been detained and one possible witness that we are questioning at this time."


After months of doing research and consulting with health officials, substance abuse experts, educators, and media professionals, New York Rotary members put together a plan to fight a major U.S. problem: opioid addiction. But they needed an international partner for their Rotary Foundation global grant project. Six months of searching connected them with the Rotary Club of Tijuana Oeste, Baja California, Mexico. Clubs in Canada and India also agreed to support the project with funds.


Instead of waiting for the optimal conditions with toplet bombs removed and non-physical Archons removed, a certain"special forces group"would initiate removal of some factions of the Cabal within USA only. None of the Chimera, Archon, Black Nobility or Jesuit members would be touched in this operation. They would keep a low profile and show a friendly face. All other factions of the Cabal within USA would be taken care of."Special forces group"would provide tactical support for Positive Military to carry out the operation. Mass media would be freed from the Rothschild control and US dollar would collapse. Limited disclosure would begin immediately.
Lightworkers and Lightwarriors who envision part of their mission being involved in the Event operations, can telepathically ask for a small Resistance base be built under their current living location. This request must NOT be communicated aloud and must NOT be written anywhere. The Resistance will receive a request for a base to be built under the Lightwarrior"s house through a certain secure channel and will in most cases approve it. Those small bases will have a certain role in the Event operations.

Q: How to mock uuid4() in python? A_script.py
from uuid import uuid4

def get_unique_identifier(env, customer_id):
    return env + '-' + customer_id + '-' + str(uuid4())[0:8]

test_A_script.py
import unittest
from unittest.mock import patch
import src.A_script as a_script

class MyTestCase(unittest.TestCase):
   @patch('uuid.uuid4')
   def test_get_unique_identifier(self, mock_uuid4):
      mock_uuid4.return_value = 'abcd1234'
      expected = 'test_env-test_cust-abcd1234'
      unique_identifier = a_script.get_unique_identifier('test_env', 'test_cust')
      self.assertEqual(expected, unique_identifier)

How can I make uuid4 return 'abcd1234'?

A: You have to patch uuid that are imported in your srcipt, so change
@patch('uuid.uuid4')

to
@patch('src.A_script.uuid4')
# or @patch('src.A_script.uuid4', return_value="abcd1234")
# or @patch('src.A_script.uuid4', new=lambda:"abcd1234")

In last case you do not pass mock as function parameter at all

A: You need to mock the method in the module where it's used. In your case you use it in module A_script so you have to call patch with 'A_script.uuid4.

An astonishing two in five employees say that pressures at work have triggered them to put on weight, eat badly, exercise less and smoke and drink more. A survey of public sector workers, which was conducted by YouGov for the British Heart Foundation (BHF), found that almost half (49%) of respondents said their work had driven them to eat more unhealthily and a third thought they had put on weight due to their jobs.
Moreover, 43% of the individuals surveyed cited that they would like to exercise more than they do, but their jobs prevented them from doing so. And just over one in five (22%) said they were now drinking more as a result of their work and 9% are now smoking more.
It seems that work is a major contributor to declining health; something that shouldn't come as a surprise considering 60% of respondents said they frequently work unpaid overtime. In fact, more than one in five said they work more than five extra hours overtime every week.
With all these figures in mind, it's no wonder that 55% said they had become more stressed because of their jobs over the last five years.
More worrying are the statistics relating to people's perceptions of their long-term health, with 29% fearing that the demands of their work could lead to high blood pressure and 21% stating that it could bring on a heart condition such as a heart attack.
These concerns aren't without foundation as obesity, lack of physical activity and smoking are all associated with coronary heart disease – the UK's biggest killer. It is important that businesses promote healthier behaviours at work as after all, loss of productivity due to employee heart and circulatory problems is thought to cost businesses in the region of £8 billion a year.
Furthermore, companies with employee wellness programmes benefit from reduced levels of sickness absence and an impressive 15% increase in output.
Premier Choice has for some time now looked at the cost of stress and mental health aspects on short term absences. However, now it is becoming clear that stress and pressure at work are having a detrimental effect of people's long term health. Perhaps the growing trend of taking lunch at the desk is worse for people than they think?


That said, the 500 million milestone is a somewhat dubious honor for Windows 10 at this point.
The Microsoft Build developer conference kicked off today in Seattle. During the opening keynote, CEO Satya Nadella revealed that there are now more than 500 million devices running Windows 10. 500 million is an impressive number, but in the grander context of operating system market share Windows 10 is lagging far behind and lacking in momentum.
Before you accuse me of hating on Windows 10, I don't. I love Windows 10. I have been using Windows 10 since its beta days and I am a huge fan. As a matter of fact, I have never understood why it is that everyone didn't jump on board and take advantage of Microsoft's generosity when it offered the OS for free during its first year.
That said, the 500 million milestone is a somewhat dubious honor for Windows 10 at this point. Although Windows 10 launched nearly two years ago, according to current data from Net Market Share it only accounts for 26.28 percent of the overall operating system market. It still lags far behind its predecessor, Windows 7, which has 48.5 percent. It seems reasonable to think that after nearly two years of availability—one of which the OS was offered for free—that Windows 10 should have surpassed Windows 7 as the leading OS by now.
Enderle asserts that by slowing the upgrade cadence—both of PC hardware and the Windows operating system—Microsoft allowed customers to become comfortably entrenched with the hardware and software they already had. Trying to move from Windows XP or even Windows 7 on older legacy hardware is a significant challenge.
As both King and Enderle point out, Microsoft deserves its kudos. Reaching the 500 million milestone is undeniably an accomplishment. I just feel like it should have hit that milestone a year ago, and I'm reserving my praise for the day Windows 10 finally passes Windows 7.

SULU SEA (Jan. 28, 2013) The U.S. Navy contracted Malaysian tug Vos Apollo removes petroleum-based products and human wastewater from the mine countermeasure ship USS Guardian (MCM 5), which ran aground on the Tubbataha Reef in the Sulu Sea on Jan. 17. No fuel has leaked since the grounding and all of the approximately 15,000 gallons on board Guardian was safely transferred to Vos Apollo during two days of controlled de-fueling operations on Jan. 24 and Jan. 25. The grounding and subsequent heavy waves hitting Guardian have caused severe damage, leading the Navy to determine the 23-year old ship is beyond economical repair and is a complete loss. With the deteriorating integrity of the ship, the weight involved, and where it has grounded on the reef, dismantling the ship in sections is the only supportable salvage option. Since Guardian's grounding, the Navy has been working meticulously to salvage any reusable equipment, retrieve the crew's personal effec!
ts, and remove any potentially harmful materials. The U.S. Navy continues to work in close cooperation with the Philippine Coast Guard and Navy to safely dismantle Guardian from the reef while minimizing environmental effects. (U.S. Navy photo/Released)

Case in Progress | 3D digital modelling for arts and culture
Golant Innovation is leading on research design and commercial strategy for 'Accessible Photogrammetry for the arts, culture and heritage sectors'.
TAA Tech Ventures
'Accessible Photogrammetry for the arts, culture and heritage sectors' (APachs) is a collaboration between Cyreal and Central Saint Martins, University of the Arts London. The project aims to broaden access to highly accurate and photorealistic – and/or really inventive – 3D models for creative, cultural and archival purposes through digital capture.
The APachs project will use 'human-centred design' methods to explore ways of making photogrammetry more accessible to the sector and to create improved solutions to the digital capture of objects and artefacts. The aim is to suit diverse user demands, levels of technical expertise and budgets – from the individual artist, through educational and cultural institutions, to the commercial and creative industries.
Turning real life artefacts into photorealistic 3D models has a wide variety of applications in:
Museums, libraries and collections
Theatre and the performing arts
Gaming and VR
The wider creative and production industries like fashion and industrial design.
But improvements in usability, affordability and efficiency are still needed for the sector to take advantage of these new technologies.
Learn more about the APachs project and register your interest
APachs is funded by Innovate UK, part of UK Research and Innovation.
*Golant Innovation was formerly known as Golant Media Ventures (GMV).
"We are incredibly excited to be working with Central Saint Martins and Golant Media Ventures* on this project that aims to bring Photogrammetry to a much wider audience. We have started the process of building an innovative and creative platform for 3D and 360˙ photographic models but the potential innovations that we can drive with the combined skills of the partners in this project is outstanding."

Two schools that like to deploy their running games, Sun Devils (-13) are set to welcome their Pac-12 rival UCLA Bruins to Arizona State. Kickoff for this game is scheduled for 2:00 p.m. ET and you can watch the action live on Pac-12 Networks.
In this Saturday Pac-12 matchup, Arizona State has been tabbed as the big favorite and the team's currently giving up 13 points. The Bruins are also receiving +360 moneyline odds while the Sun Devils are -525. Oddsmakers have set the over/under (O/U) at 58.5 points, and if one school gets out in front in the early stages, it would likely produce a decent in-game betting opportunity.
This game's total has yet to move after it was initially set at 58.5. Having said that, the opening line was -12 and square bettors are hammering the Sun Devils.
The disappointing Bruins are 3-6 against the spread (ATS) and are down 8.2 units so far. The team's posted an O/U mark of 4-5.
The Sun Devils have gained 1.2 units for moneyline bettors this season. They're 6-3 ATS and have an O/U record of 5-4.
The Bruins have gone 2-7 straight up (SU), including 2-4 SU against Pac-12 opponents. The Sun Devils are 5-4 SU overall and are also 3-3 SU in conference play.
UCLA enters this one on a two-game unbeaten streak while Arizona State has lost each of its last two. The Bruins are trying to get back in stride after a 42-21 defeat to Oregon last week. The Bruins defense allowed the Ducks to eat up the clock by rushing for 200 yards on 42 attempts, including three rush TDs. On the offensive side of the ball, the Bruins completed 23-of-49 passes for 297 yards, two touchdowns and one interception. Wilton Speight went 13-for-25 for 147 yards and one touchdown while Dorian Thompson-Robinson completed nine-of-23 for 135 yards, one touchdown, and one interception. Joshua Kelley (161 yards on 26 rushes, one TD) led the running attack while Kelley (six receptions, 32 yards) and Theo Howard (five catches, 69 yards, one TD) handled the receiving duties in the defeat.
Arizona State just earned a 38-20 win over Utah. Manny Wilkins completed 19-of-24 passes for 285 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Eno Benjamin (175 yards on 27 rush attempts, two TDs) and Isaiah Floyd (35 yards on 10 carries) mounted the running game as N'Keal Harry (nine receptions, 161 yards, three TDs) and Brandon Aiyuk (six catches, 101 yards) led the receiving corps in the win.
Looking at offensive play-calling, each of these squads sports a similar run-pass ratio on the season. UCLA has run the ball on 52.7 percent of its offensive possessions while Arizona State has a rush percentage of 54.2. The Bruins have produced 153.2 rush yards per game (including 164.5 per game against Pac-12 opponents) and have 12 touchdowns on the ground this year. The Sun Devils are putting up 185.4 rush yards per game (220.5 in conference) and have 17 total rushing TDs.
It appears that the Sun Devils should own an edge in terms of RB effectiveness, as their backfield has logged 5.0 yards per carry while the defense has allowed a YPC of 3.9 to opponents. The Bruins have rushed for 4.1 yards per carry while allowing 4.6 YPC to opponents.
The Bruins offense has tallied 209.6 yards per contest through the air overall (219.8 per game versus conference opposition) and has 10 passing TDs so far. The Sun Devils have put up 250.0 pass yards per game (215 in the Pac-12) and have 15 total pass scores.
Defensively, UCLA has let opponents rush for an average of 208.2 yards and pass for 229.6 yards per game. The Arizona State defense has given up 220.6 yards per game to opposing passers and 158.7 yards per game on the ground. Both teams allow similar adjusted net yards per pass attempt (ANY/A) to opponents, as the Bruins have given up an ANY/A of 6.52 to opposing QBs, while the Sun Devils are yielding an ANY/A of 6.15.
Passing-wise, Speight has amassed 396 yards on the year. He's connected on 38-of-64 attempts with three scores through the air and one interception. He has a 5.90 adjusted net yards per pass attempt overall, although that number is 3.50 over the last two outings.
Look for a balanced attack offensively from UCLA in this one. Joshua Kelley, Caleb Wilson and Theo Howard have combined for 555 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns over the last two outings.
Manny Wilkins has completed 165-of-255 passes for 2,084 yards, 14 TDs and three INTs for Arizona State. His ANY/A stands at 8.23 for the season and 10.57 over his last two games.
Eno Benjamin, N'Keal Harry and Brandon Aiyuk have collectively accounted for 745 total yards and eight touchdowns the last two outings.
When these two teams faced each other a year ago, UCLA knocked off Arizona State by a touchdown 44-37.
The Over/Under for UCLA's previous game was 59. The over cashed in the team's 42-21 defeat to Oregon.
UCLA, as a team, has averaged 4.3 yards per carry over its last three games and 5.1 over its last two.
Arizona State has averaged 5.3 yards per carry over its last three outings and 5.7 over its past two.
Arizona State has lost three fumbles this season while UCLA has lost six.
Over its last three contests, UCLA is 0-3 ATS and the over cashed in two of those three.
The O/U for Arizona State's last game was set at 55. The over cashed in the team's 38-20 win over Utah.
Over its last three contests, Arizona State is 2-1 ATS and the over cashed in two of those three.
The Bruins offense has recorded six pass plays of 40 or more yards, while the Sun Devils have put up nine such plays.
The UCLA defense has allowed eight pass plays of 40 or more yards, while Arizona State has given up three such plays.
The UCLA offense has created 12 rushing plays of 20+ yards, while Arizona State has created 13 such runs.
The Bruins defense has allowed six rushing plays of 20 or more yards, while the Sun Devils have given up 10 such runs.
The Arizona State defense has sacked opposing QBs 24 times this season. UCLA has recorded just 13 sacks.


A NEW film about Lawrence of Arabia could include scenes shot in Hampshire - the county he called home for much of his life.
Lawrence: After Arabia focuses on what happened to the legendary leader after he helped the Arabs stage a successful revolt against the Turks in the First World War.
During the late 1920s and early 1930s Lawrence lived and worked on the western shores of Southampton Water.
Some of the scenes for the movie, due to be released in the spring of 2020, could be filmed at the former RAF Calshot - now Calshot Activities Centre.
Lawrence knew the area well, having spent part of his childhood at Langley Lodge, Colbury, which has since been demolished.
He was serving in the Royal Air Force when he returned to Hampshire many years later to help stage the famous Schneider Trophy air race, which Calshot hosted in 1929 and 1931.
During that period Lawrence saw an RAF flying boat crash while attempting to land a few hundred yards offshore.
By the time he reached the scene several of the crew had drowned. He campaigned for the RAF to be equipped with faster rescue boats and was seconded to the Hythe-based British Power Boat Company, run by Hubert Scott-Paine.
Lawrence oversaw the construction of new seaplane tenders which helped save thousands of lives during the Second World War.
He lodged at Myrtle Cottage in Shore Road, Hythe, staying for about ten months in 1931-2 and later returning for a shorter period.
The film's director of photography is Simon Lawrence, who lives in Lymington but is not thought to be related to the famous war hero.
Lawrence left the RAF in 1935, dying a few months later in a mysterious motorbike crash.
He had been to the post office in Bovington, Dorset, and was returning to his home at nearby Cloud's Hill when he apparently swerved to avoid two boys on bicycles.
Lawrence was thrown from his machine and succumbed to his injuries six days later.
Cloud's Hill is owned by the National Trust, which has angered the movie-makers by scrapping provisional consent for them to film at the house.
Mr Griffin said: "The custodian and volunteers at the property said they could not support the project because they believe it perpetuates the theory of Lawrence's death being a conspiracy.


This sketch was influenced by my reputation of being nick-named Lamp-Head by my film industry co-workers and throughout all of the major studios because of the fumbling butterfingered explosive accident I was involved in. I sketched this image of "Lighting Explosion" from that experience and was later inspired to create the painting, "Ice Cream In Hell" as its model. rvmann.com/artwork/2566499_Ice_Cream_In?
I indured many amusing months with that labeling as "Lamp-head" before it became old and finally wore out its welcome.
I always considered being lucky to have acquired a studio job after returning home pennilessly from the Navy. My uncle was a studio carpenter and made the proper connections to pull me into the lighting union. At times it seemed as though it was a surprising reward and a fortunate endeavor of love, while simultaneously discovering it as an infernal demonic torture. I ignored having to labor for the film industry because it allotted me the funds to be able to afford my passion of sports cars, motorcycles, Hot Rods and the downtime at work to sketch from my inner thoughts.


A small to medium-sized enterprises centre for Maprik in East Sepik driven by the trade of vanilla, cocoa and coffee will soon be completed, according to district development authority chief executive Joshua Himina.
The centre, started by MP John Simon, will have 21 clerks to provide technical support to SMEs.
Himina said Maprik was an economic hub which served neighbouring districts such as Yangoru-Saussia, Wosera-Gawi, Ambunti-Dreikikir and Lumi and Nuku in West Sepik.
On Tuesday, the rural town hosted Governor Allan Bird, administrator Dr Clement Malau and Australian High Commissioner Bruce Davis.
Himina said they stopped at Maprik to visit major projects in the district.
The delegation visited Maprik Hayfield Airport, Maprik Rural Hospital and Institute of Medical Research, amongst others.
Maprik mayor Paul Dingu said the current vanilla boom at Maprik had greatly boosted the local economy and people's living standards.
He said the prices of vanilla on street markets were going for K800 to more than K1000 a kilo.
Providing security was a challenge, however, Dingu said the district promoted its local SMEs in town by allowing growers and buyers to trade on the streets in Maprik town without restrictions.

It was my time in Early Years which really opened my eyes to the constraints of our systems and I witnessed at first hand, our inability to trust and let go.
It was my time in Early Years which really opened my eyes to the constraints of our systems and I witnessed at first hand, our inability to trust and let go. For some people, Early Years is a very risky business. Children are involved and where there are children, there are people who want to hurt them. I don't deny this fact, but we have become so focused on risk, we've forgotten that in fact, the community is a safe place.
Whatever happened to "it takes a village to raise a child"? In today's society this might read "it takes a team of early years' specialists with current enhanced DBS checks to raise a child"! I'm sure they should be in the mix, but what about all those parents, grandparents, neighbours, shop keepers – all those vibrant and talented people that make up a community who a child is likely to meet as they grow up?
When we talked to parents about who they turn to for help in raising their children, almost every one of them said 'other parents' first and foremost; the early years' specialist came further down the list, just below the GP. So doesn't it make sense to invest in building networks between parents, involving parents in the design and delivery of early years' provision and tapping into all of their passions, gifts and skills.
This resource is unbounded and shouldn't be squashed by our risk averse legislation. For anyone working in Early Years – parents have to be the 'go-to' community – let's make them our priority.

2 BASE Jumpers Die On Wingsuit Flight In Yosemite
By Bill Chappell • May 18, 2015
Dean Potter, seen here in 2012, died this weekend along with Graham Hunt while they were attempting a wingsuit flight in Yosemite National Park in California.

The world of climbing lost a daring innovator Saturday when Dean Potter, 43, died during a wingsuit flight from Yosemite National Park's Taft Point. Potter was killed along with Graham Hunt, 29, as they attempted to soar above Yosemite Valley and El Capitan.
The pair attempted their wingsuit flight on Saturday around dusk — a time that National Geographic says many athletes choose for BASE jumping, which is illegal in all of America's national parks. They were found Sunday by a search and rescue helicopter.
BASE jumping is the sport of parachuting from a fixed point, such as a cliff or structure. The acronym stands for the leaping-off point: a building, antenna, span or the Earth. It has also gained a reputation for being deadly. Since the early 1980s, 256 people have died while taking part in the sport, according to Blinc magazine.
Potter was both an experienced jumper and a trailblazing rock climber, famous for figuring out ways to ascend cliffs quickly with only the minimal use of gear. He was also adept at walking slacklines, often crossing wide spans without a safety harness, including a famous 2011 crossing with a rising moon as his backdrop.
From National Geographic:
"He was a larger-than-life character," says Mike Gauthier, the chief of staff in Yosemite National Park. "His role in the community in Yosemite Valley, and the climbing world—he's just in the pantheon of great athletes that people idolize and look up to."
Potter's partner on Saturday's flight was Hunt, who had previously done wingsuit flights in Europe. The two lived near each other in California's western Yosemite Valley.
Outside magazine also quotes Yosemite's Gauthier:
"Potter and Hunt had been attempting to fly along terrain that required them to clear a notch in a rocky ridgeline. "It's kind of a trickier flight to go through this notch," Gauthier says. On Sunday morning, a state police helicopter was able to spot both bodies from the air. No parachutes had been deployed. Two rangers were then airlifted to the site to perform the recovery."
Potter attracted notoriety for his climbing skills and ingenuity — and also for his willingness to take chances. He was widely criticized in 2006 when he climbed Delicate Arch, a sandstone landmark in the Arches National Park in Utah.
And last year, he set off a different type of safety debate by releasing When Dogs Fly, a video in which he straps his dog, Whisper, onto his back for a wingsuit flight.
In that video, Potter said: "Life isn't that easy or that straightforward. First you have the vision, and then you make it possible. The joy we have is just off the charts. We love it up there."
He followed that statement with a question: "Will this joy lead to harm or death?"
Correction: 5/18/15
An earlier version of this story incorrectly gave Dean Potter's age as 46. He was 43.

Q: How to post more than 15 tweets in 15 minutes per user I have an application which might make people tweet around 20-40 times.
I got to know that twitter only allows to post 15 tweets per user in 15 minutes window (aggregating all applications) . I do not want to restrict user from doing this with in 15 mins. Is there a way I can achieve this?

A: AS I mentioned in Twitter Api : Rate limit - know remaining Tweets I can do, the rate limits on tweet per account is 50 every 30 minutes.

2,400 tweets per day. The daily update limit is further broken down into smaller limits for semi-hourly intervals. Retweets are counted as Tweets.

Source : https://support.twitter.com/articles/15364
In reality you can usually post a little bit more than 50 tweets in 30 minutes but you need to be aware that what you want to do will trigger the red flag at Twitter and they might block your application.

London Mayor Sadiq Khan | Jack Taylor/Getty Images
Sadiq Khan will be Labour candidate in next London mayoral race
Current mayor secures enough union support to make it on to the ballot for 2020.
By	Paul Dallison
Sadiq Khan will be the Labour candidate for the London mayoral election in 2020 after securing enough support from within the party.
Khan has enough backing from the powerful GMB trade union to pass the 50 percent threshold he needs to be the Labour candidate. He tweeted his thanks to Labour and trade union members Friday.
Since June, Constituency Labour Parties (known as CLPs) in London, and organizations and unions affiliated to the party in the capital, have been voting on whether to automatically reselect Khan or hold an open selection process. Although the deadline for a decision is September 30, the GMB's support will push Khan over the line.
Warren Kenny, the GMB's London regional secretary, told Huffington Post: "Two years ago Londoners elected Sadiq Khan as London mayor by a thumping margin in the face of a nasty and divisive campaign from the Tories.
"Since he came to office our mayor has consistently championed people living and working in London. We are proud to be giving GMB's firm backing to Sadiq Khan to carry on the job of making London a fairer and more equal city."
Khan was elected London mayor in 2016, defeating the Conservatives' Zac Goldsmith and winning 57 percent of the vote. There had been speculation that he would face a challenge from a Jeremy Corbyn ally in the 2020 race as Khan and the Labour leader have repeatedly clashed.
Earlier this month, Khan told LBC radio that Corbyn's comment about Jews that have lived in the U.K. all their lives not understanding "English irony" is "unacceptable."
Khan has also repeatedly locked horns with U.S. President Donald Trump. After the 2017 attack on London Bridge and Borough Market, which claimed seven lives, Khan condemned the terrorists but urged Londoners not to be alarmed.

Sadiq Khan: 'Of course' I'd meet Trump

"At least 7 dead and 48 wounded in terror attack and mayor of London says there is 'no reason to be alarmed!'" Trump tweeted in response, mischaracterizing the mayor's comment. A day later, Trump tweeted: "Pathetic excuse by London Mayor Sadiq Khan who had to think fast on his 'no reason to be alarmed' statement. MSM is working hard to sell it!"
Khan later called on the British government to cancel Trump's planned state visit. "I don't think we should roll out the red carpet" to Trump "in the circumstances where his policies go against everything we stand for," he said.
However, in December, Khan said "if [Trump] wants to meet with the mayor of London, of course I'd be happy to meet with him and show him parts of London where Muslims, Christians, Jews, Buddhists, Sikhs, members of organized faiths and those that aren't, don't just tolerate each other but respect, celebrate and embrace each other."
Khan and Trump did not meet when the U.S. president visited Britain in July.
The ballot for the Conservative London mayoral selection process opens Monday, the New Statesman reported, with London Assembly members Shaun Bailey and Andrew Boff, and Ealing councillor Joy Morrissey the shortlisted candidates.

Covid numbers in Spain show an incidence rate increase on Tuesday, June 14
By Chris King • 14 June 2022 • 21:10

The Ministry of Health Covid numbers released in Spain show an increase in the incidence rate for the first time in three weeks.
The Ministry of Health released its twice-weekly Covid numbers in Spain this Tuesday, June 14, with data collected from the autonomous communities. In total, 36,133 new Covid infections have been diagnosed according to the health authorities.
Of this total, 18,574 of them among citizens aged 60 and over, a figure that represents a decrease in this accounting compared to previous weeks, but which is not reflected in the level of incidence, which has grown in the last week.
Figures show that for the first time in three weeks, Covid transmission among those over 59 years of age has increased, although only slightly, specifically by 11 points. During the last 14 days, the accumulated incidence rate stands at 589 cases per 100,000 of the population.
In addition to the 14-day incidence, the indicator of the epidemiological evolution in the last week also grows, going from 278 cases per 100,000 inhabitants to 284.
There has also been a slight rebound in overall hospital occupancy, which has risen by 5.5 per cent, with 6,763 patients now admitted to hospitals throughout Spain.
The positivity rate by screening tests in citizens over 59 years of age is close to 30 per cent, while the World Health Organization (WHO) recommends that this figure should be below 5 per cent to consider the spread of the virus as controlled.

Behind the Stories features perspectives from the reporters, editors and producers who create NPR's journalism and programming, offering insights into how and why they do what they do. For this post, we spoke with Latino USA's Andres Caballero in order to answer a listener's question about his Livin' Lagordiloca story.
The first time I heard "Lagordiloca" was through an article a friend of mine sent me. She seemed like a larger than life character who was stirring up things in her Texas hometown. She seemed like someone who had found a purpose in citizen reporting and was pursuing it with full force and conviction. I wanted to find out more about who she was and what drove her to get in her giant blue truck looking to cover crime scenes, immigration raids, and other happenings in the late hours of the night. I wasn't sure whether or not she really believed in what she was doing or if she was simply trying to entertain or grab people's attention. After my first failed attempt to reach her, I left a message. She called me back late at night – which made a lot of sense since she slept during the day, according to what I had read. On the phone, she invited me to join her the following weekend at a parade she was going to be a part of.
Regardless, all of this was enough to convince my editor and senior producer that it was worth getting on a flight to Laredo and find out what she was really about, why she was garnering so many followers so quickly.
What challenges did you have while reporting the story?
The most difficult part was getting a hold of her and locking down a day and time to meet for an interview. There were a few obstacles - she slept most of the day. She was extremely busy preparing a float she needed decorated for the parade. She was in the middle of a legal standoff with the city's police department. And when I finally heard back from her she had been hospitalized with pneumonia. I was only going to be in Laredo for about four days and I didn't want to be "that reporter" and pressure her to record with me when she was feeling sick.
A couple of days later she called me to tell me that she was out of the hospital. And that she would be pulling up to the hotel to pick me up in her blue lifted Dodge truck aka the blue demon. That's when I regained hope that there may be an audio piece in the making.
What lessons did your time reporting on story teach you?
I only spent about three days with Lagordiloca but one thing that really stuck with me was that when a person struggles through most of their life, with different setbacks, loss and anguish, finding a new purpose and pursuing it aggressively can change everything for them, and sometimes – like in this case – for the community around them. Someone who truly believes that what they are doing is good, can have a huge impact in their environment. Lagordiloca was at the epicenter of this process. While being able to challenge her shortcomings as a citizen reporter, she became human, imperfect, but also larger than life, inspiring character who had an epiphany, and nothing or anything could stop her from being the eyes of Laredoans, while most of them slept, of becoming Laredo's own Nightcrawler.

I am going to make this blog post a little trickier for you (and a little more fun, hopefully). As before, you should choose one of these prompts and respond to it. However, your response will be a little different this time in that regardless of which prompt you choose, you should include, as part of your response, something from the O'Brien interview I posted on D2L. You might quote a line, or lines, from the interview, or you might paraphrase some part of it, or you might use it in some other way. Please remember, though, that your response should primarily be an expression of original thought.
1. In "In the Field," there is a young boy that is not named. Why not give this character a name? Any ideas? Does the chapter give you any clues?
2. On 178-79, O'Brien writes, "Twenty years. A lot like yesterday, a lot like never. In a way, maybe, I'd gone under with Kiowa, and now after two decades I'd finally worked my way out. [. . .] I felt something go shut in my heart while something else swung open." Interpret these lines.
3. What happens to O'Brien as he is enacting his revenge on Bobby Jorgenson? What do we learn about him in those chapters? How would you describe his emotional state?
5. O'Brien writes about the difference between "happening-truth" and "story-truth." He writes that he could tell his daughter that he did, or did not, kill anyone, and that either one would be true. Is this stretching his definition of "truth" too far?
6. Which affected you more, Kiowa going under, or Rat Kiley beginning to lose his mind? Why? What does this teach you about yourself as a reader?
7. The story of Timmy and Linda is probably symbolic of many things. What does it symbolize to you? What is its significance? And why does O'Brien include it, even conclude with it, when it seems to be outside Vietnam, outside the framework of the book?
8. The last chapter, "The Lives of the Dead," begins with the sentence, "But this, too, is true: stories can save us." Why the word "too"? What other "truth" is he referring back to? And, perhaps more importantly, what do you think O'Brien means? After all you have read, respond to the idea that a story can save us.
