NAOMI AND RUTH
Naomi and Ruth (1947) wasCastelnuovo-Tedesco's first nonliturgical biblical choral work, a genre towhich he later dedicated himself intensely. It was written for women's chorusand a soprano soloist who takes the role of Naomi. Ruth's responses, describedby the composer as \characteristically universal," are left to the chorus.
Castelnuovo Tedesco's interest in the story went back to his childhood. Naomihappened to be his mother's name as well, and as he later wrote:
In some way I identified withthis biblical character through my mother (and at the same time I identifiedmyself with her).... Some time later I found another "connection": The otherprincipal female character, the mild and faithful Ruth, resembled my wife,Clara.... In a certain sense, it really was my "symbolic autobiography,"existing before I decided to write--to open my heart.
In 1948 Castelnuovo-Tedesco wasvisited by his friend, composer Ernst Toch, a refugee from Vienna then livingin Los Angeles. Toch gave him the score to his cello concerto (op. 35). Movedby the affection expressed by Toch's gift, Castelnuovo Tedesco returned thegesture by presenting Toch with a manuscript copy of this cantata. Almostimmediately he regretted what he had done, writing later:
"To Ernst, who was such acomplex and mature musician, this cantata must seem much too simple andchildlike. But with extreme surprise (and immense gratification) I received aletter from Toch ... telling me that "this is one of the purest and mosttouching compositions you have ever written."
Naomi and Ruth (subtitled ASmall Cantata for Women's Voices from the Book of Ruth) was premiered in Los Angeles in 1949 by the Los Angeles City College Philharmonic Chorus conductedby Hugo Strelitzer, with the composer at the piano. It was orchestratedsubsequently.
SACRED SERVICE FOR THE SABBATHEVE
Castelnuovo-Tedesco's SacredService for the Sabbath Eve was written originally in 1943 on request from hisfriend Rabbi Nahum Immanuel, interim rabbi at Beth Sholom Temple in Santa Monica, California. Its premiere was originally envisioned for that Reformcongregation and is therefore set to the prayer texts as they appear in theUnion Prayer Book--except for the sections added later.
Castelnuovo-Tedesco had alreadywritten several individual prayer settings, beginning with l'kha dodi (1936) atthe request of an Amsterdam synagogue, for an a cappella male choir (his firstsetting of the Hebrew language). He had revised it for mixed choir and organ,at Cantor David Putterman's invitation, for a performance in 1943 at the NewYork Park Avenue Synagogue's first service of new liturgical music. AlthoughCastelnuovo-Tedesco had not been actively involved in the Florence synagogueprior to his emigration, apart from holy day attendance, he had becomeacquainted with cantors and synagogue music directors in Los Angeles, whoinvited him to compose for their congregations, Yet he had never attempted anentire unified service, and he saw Rabbi Immanuel's invitation as anopportunity to write a work dedicated to his mother's memory. He later recalledthat his mother had helped him with the Amsterdam l'kha dodi by transliteratingthe words with correct accentuation for him and making a literal translation.
Also, at that time he was feeling increasingly anxious about the fate of hismany relatives left behind in Europe, and he felt "filled with Jewishinspiration."
As he began to contemplate thework, Castelnuovo-Tedesco was confronted by various obstacles. One was themixed formal use of English and Hebrew, including English recitation, in theAmerican Reform service (and in many Conservative/non-Orthodox services of thattime as well). This seemed alien to him and presented an aesthetic imbalance.
His resolution was to fashion organ accompaniments for those recitations, inwhich themes of preceding choral parts were developed in what he called a"melologue." His resolve was to compensate for this perceived aestheticdissimilarity by striving all the more for stylistic unity throughout. The organ,too, was problematic for him--not for reasons of Jewish legal prohibitions ofmusical instruments on Sabbath or other holy days, but because he held thecommon but historically erroneous prejudice against its sound as one associatedwith Western Christian churches. In fact, the organ had been introduced intoReform and Liberal synagogues in Germany in the 19th century, not to emulateChristian services, but for musical-aesthetic reasons and to facilitateorderly, Western-style congregational hymn singing. Moreover, organs hadexisted in a number of western and central Europe orthodox synagogues as well,albeit only for legally permitted occasions such as weddings, non--holy dayservices, and liturgical concerts. In any case, Castelnuovo-Tedesco's subsequentuse of the organ in his liturgical pieces after the Sacred Service suggeststhat he might have come to appreciate its sound within the context of Jewishworship.
An academic issue posed a moreinteresting conceptual problem for Castelnuovo-Tedesco in selecting an overallmusical approach: whether to attempt to base the service on historicalground--specifically on early liturgical traditions or practice. He appears tohave flirted briefly with the idea of using a reconstructed sound of Jewishworship in antiquity, or at least in its premodern stages. This would havemeant consciously avoiding Western classical techniques, and he came to theconclusion that little could be known of the actual musical sound of earlyHebrew liturgy, especially with its continuous acquisitions of musical featuresof host countries and cultures over the centuries. Also, he realized thedifficulty of finding a way to utilize organ, part-writing, polyphony, orharmony in any such reconstruction, since he knew that none of these hadexisted in those early periods and that choral monody had probably prevailed.
So he deter mined instead to follow specifically the Italian polyphonictradition, in that way at least relating the work to another, albeitnon-Jewish, aspect of his Italian heritage. He also saw a historic rationalefor turning to the approach of the 16th- and 17th-century Italian composerSalomone Rossi, the first to apply independent Renaissance polyphony to Hebrewliturgy.
The Sacred Service was completedat the end of 1943, although the composer later remarked, "In a way, it wasnever finished." The premiere, however, never occurred at the Santa Monicasynagogue. By early 1944 Rabbi Immanuel had left that interim post to becomerabbi of the new Westwood Temple, in no position yet to cover the costs of thelarge professional choir the composer required; neither was the Santa Monicasynagogue interested or able, since Rabbi Immanuel appears to have been itsprimary champion. Castelnuovo-Tedesco withdrew the service.
Two years later Cantor Puttermanexcerpted three movements from the full service--mi khamokha, May the Words, andkaddish--which were per formed at the Park Avenue Synagogue in 1945.
Castelnuovo-Tedesco had offered Putterman these three movements only on thecondition that the Sacred Service would soon be performed in its entirety.
Until that time, the Park Avenue services, which had become annual events,presented only individual compositions by a variety of composers in a singleevening, but not yet entire services by single composers. However,Castelnuovo-Tedesco, stressing that he felt this to be his best work in manyyears, insisted that he wanted "for the first

Соревнования по стрельбе из лука на летних Олимпийских играх 1980 года проходили с 30 июля по 2 августа 1980 года. Разыгрывались два комплекта медалей.

18-летний Томи Пойколайнен принёс Финляндии первое и пока единственное олимпийское золото в стрельбе из лука.

Кетеван Лосаберидзе выиграла единственное олимпийское золото в истории советской стрельбы из лука.

Московская Олимпиада остаётся последней, на которой чемпионкой в женском личном первенстве стала не китайская или южнокорейская спортсменка.

Если среди женщин все три спортсменки, показавшие лучший результат в первом раунде, остались в тройке призёров и по итогам второго, то у мужчин никто из лидировавших после первого раунда не смог выиграть в итоге медаль.

Если соревнования мужчин отличались упорной борьбой — разница между первым и пятым местом составила всего 9 очков, а 19 спортсменов проиграли чемпиону менее 100 очков, то у женщин чемпионка Лосаберидзе выиграла у занявшей 4-е место Зденки Падеветовой 86 очков.

In 'The Liar,' chaos rules when honesty is sacrificed
Play opens Friday at Binghamton University
In 'The Liar,' chaos rules when honesty is sacrificed Play opens Friday at Binghamton University Check out this story on pressconnects.com: http://press.sn/2HvdaQq

Thanks to our current cultural and political climate, questions about truth and lying are foremost in our national discussion. Fake news, "alternative facts" and gaslighting are all about trying to shape reality to fit your own ends.
The Internet and social media allow 21st century denizens spread lies to more eyes, but questions about honesty stretch back as long as humans have had language — probably even longer.
In his 1644 play "The Liar," Pierre Corneille addresses the various ways that people can shade the truth, and a new adaptation from David Ives opens Friday night from Binghamton University's theater department.
In Corneille's story, a habitual liar named Dorante (Trey Santiago) tries to impress two ladies he meets at the Tuileries Garden in Paris: Clarice (Christine Skorupa) and Lucrece (Liz Sierra). He tells them he's a war hero but can't quite seem to keep their names straight. That makes things awkward when his father, Geronte (Aaron Penzel), wants him to marry Clarice but he thinks Lucrece is the one he's attracted to.
Clarice and Lucrece have twin servants named Isabelle and Sabine (both played by Stephanie Moreno) who have opposite personalities. One of them is sultry and the other one puritanical, which tangles their potential romances with Dorante's friend Philiste (Gabriel Pinciotti) and his butler Cliton (Robert Edwards). Meanwhile, Clarice is secretly engaged to Alcippe (Charles Meckley), another of Dorante's friends.
That's enough confusion for several plays, and Ives delivers it all in iambic pentameter with some amusing anachronisms thrown in.

Faculty director Tom Kremer — who helmed Oscar Wilde's "Lady Windermere's Fan" at BU last spring — knows there's a balance that actors need to have when doing a period play.
"They have to learn to live within the rules of the world that the play takes place in, which in this case is the 17th century," he said in an interview last week. "They also have to keep in mind that the people of the 17th century were no different that we are today — they just lived under different rules."
While preparing for the play, the actors learned how our culture differed from nearly 400 years ago.
"Some of the things we do now weren't socially acceptable then," Edwards said. "One of them is personal space. Nowadays we like to be up close and personal, but back then it was physically impossible for the women because of their dresses and not acceptable for the men."
Santiago said that seeing the costumes for the show helped to show him that beauty and elegance were important qualities in 17th century France, and that Ives' poetic language takes some getting used to.
"The more you do it, the more you feel the iambic pentameter, and you know what's flowing and what's not," he said. "You can tell for the most part when you've messed up on one syllable or one word, and everything is kind of thrown off. Everything has to be so exact, because if I mess it up, it's really going to mess up the whole flow of what I'm saying."
So who is the liar of the play's title?
"Lying is unique for each character," Santiago said. "Some of them learn that 'oh, I could use a little bit of lying — a little white lie here and there.' Other people lie too much and it bites them in the butt. In a certain sense, everyone is 'the liar,' and in another sense that's not true."
Sierra said that Lucrece and Clarice, as the women wronged in the show, lie partly to establish a "hierarchy" when they realize that Dorante is playing them.
"There are many instances in this play — which is how it is in real life as well — where we lie to survive, to make sure we're OK, to avoid consequences and not shine light on the things we don't want to talk about right now," she said.

As Cliton, Edwards said the hapless servant doesn't know how to lie — and that ends up being a curse.
"He's gone through life without lying, and it hasn't gotten him very far — so when another character comes in and starts telling lies, my character sees how far that's getting him," he said. "He thinks, 'I'm being morally correct and I'm not getting anywhere. I want those things — can you help me, please?'"
Because some cast members have worked together before — Santiago, Sierra and Edwards starred in the BU production of "Belleville" last fall, and Santiago and Sierra did "The Mother------ with the Hat" the year before — there's a certain level of comfort all working together.
"This group has been great in terms of what I always say: This is called a play, not a suffering, so please go up there and play," Kremer said. "The more they play, the more little things we find and fun we have — and the more fun they have, the more fun the audience has."
Skorupa — who played Dorothy in last fall's production of "The Wizard of Oz" — said she appreciates that sense of exploration onstage.
"It makes rehearsal a real joy to go to, because it's not just that you're going up there and playing yourself, you get you watch your friends go up there and play and try out new things," she said. "It's fun waiting for my next scene watching them go up and play with new things. We learn from them — the drama they're finding in the comedy or the comedy they're finding in the dramatic scenes."

Favorable Social Media Stats Excite Digital Publishers
News on Twitter and Facebook show potential for advertising, traffic driving
I've been saying for a while that Twitter is, by nature, a publisher's true friend. It is a micropublishing avenue for succinct copy, and the promotion of aligned content. Plus, when used properly, it can be very helpful in driving more traffic to your website.
A new report from the Pew Internet & American Life Project called "Twitter Use 2012" shows that Twitter is being used more than ever before. Twitter's "use on a typical day" is at 8%, higher than last year's record of 5%. It's total use, between daily and non-daily users, is at 15%, higher than 2011's record of 13%. The biggest growth is currently seen in the 18-24 year old demographic. Continue

One Thing Digital Publishers Can't Forget: Human Elements
By Chris Sturk 6/7/2012
Retaining online audiences requires an emotional touch
Even as a digital native, I occasionally find it difficult to comply with the digital landscape. In the pursuit of engaging content, it's possible to end up on websites that feel completely dead. They are uninspiring, cold, and too digital.
As digital magazine publishing continues taking form, there is an expectation for all websites to have a human element. And this isn't just about being able to share content socially with your friends, it's about a natural way of interacting with the content we are exposed to. Continue

All-Access Pricing That Benefits Publishers
Digital magazine publishing takes on a new revenue opportunity
It was a bit groundbreaking when Next Issue Media announced all-access pricing in April. The service is currently only available on Android devices, and offers access to over 30 popular titles. Supposedly, iPad will be available in the future.

New Apps: A Digital Magazine Publishing Evolution
What will digital magazine publishing apps look like in the future?
What comes to mind when thinking about the first generation of apps? Over the past four years, we've seen this technology change the way mobile devices are used. Digital magazine publishers and brands have developed apps and placed them in digital app stores for the chance to reach new audiences.
First-generation apps were basically what you could expect from new technology. Some had operating issues, including loading too slowly, freezing, and not being compatible with specific devices. Although some app developers have found success, especially when it comes to developing games, there are higher expectations for the next generation of apps. Continue
Digital Magazine Publishing App Strategy
5 ways to monitor and optimize your digital app publishing activities
Digital magazine publishing apps will not sell themselves. It may be unfortunate, but they do not exist under the pretext of 'build it and they will come'. There is no lack of competition with the sheer volume of apps in digital stores. Hoping that people will stumble upon your app and buy it or download it are lofty hopes.
If you are currently throwing ideas and strategies against the wall, hoping they will stick, there are better ways to approach your digital app strategy. The tips below are designed to help you market and track the results of your campaigns, leading to an understanding of the lifecycle that exists for your digital products. Continue
Digital Publishers Build Links to Drive Traffic
Some links are certainly better than others. Any SEO will tell you that a link from a reputable site, organization, or government entity will be more favorable than a link from a site containing black hat SEO, or worse (like malware).
Link building is one popular method for increase website traffic. When done correctly, it can help develop much larger audiences. However, when done incorrectly, it can now lead to penalties from Google, as the recent Penguin update has impacted websites with an excess of low-quality links within its pages. Continue
What's Next for Digital Publishers?
The future cannot be easily predicted, but current observations can be made to help design a picture of the digital future that may not be too far from reality.
For instance, we knew the mobile Internet and mobile devices were going to have an impact on publishers. We just didn't realize how impactful it would be originally. We are now finding and outlining the new digital revenue streams that exist due to new technologies. We've already seen apps, ebooks, and digital magazine publishing that utilizes clickable ecommerce. We've seen the importance of organic audience development through popular social networks, search engines and reputable link building. So what's next for digital publishers? Continue

5 Rules We've Learned From Apps
Digital magazine publishing can succeed with the help of well-designed apps
Digital magazine publishing relies on app and tablet success. Fortunately, these two markets are growing quickly; global tablets are predicted to reach 760 million by 2016 and digital publishing apps are expected to account for 80% of app downloads in 2016, alongside games, social networking, and e-commerce. Continue
3 Ways Apps Can Help Digital Publishers
Most app producers will not make money off their product. In fact, 80% of respondents in App Promo's First Annual Developer Survey said that they don't generate enough revenue to support a standalone business.
However, publishers who have other products and revenue streams may be able to leverage their existing audience into engaging with their app. Continue
Is Developing Apps Right For You?
If you want an app to be successful, it needs to be marketed
I've been asked before about the costs associated with developing apps. I really don't love giving the "it depends" answer, but that is really the best answer.
Some major agencies charge tens of thousands of dollars for custom apps that encourage a high-level of interaction, and carry all the proverbial bells and whistles. Some smaller agencies will create a basic static app for $1,000 and a more complex app for around $5,000. Continue
Learning How to Publish Through Multiple Devices
According to Forrester, 760 million tablets will be in use worldwide by 2016. Yet many publishers do not have a tablet publishing strategy in place.
How can legacy publishers succeed in digital magazine publishing, or use eBooks as an additional revenue stream if they do not have the big picture figured out? There isn't a lot of time to waste because the current evolution is happening quickly. New changes take place weekly; do you know which require attention and which should be ignored? Continue
Is This Where Your Digital Content Should Be?
A look at quickly growing app categories
Not every medium will work for every digital publisher. Some digital publishers focus solely on their written content – be long-form editorial or fiction.
Other publishers have the digital revolution to thank for their expansion into becoming a more complex media company. This type of digital publisher is already transitioning from being digital magazine publishing and ebook publishing, to creating video and audio content. Continue
Targeting Mobile Devices for Digital Magazine Publishing
We are all familiar with Apple's reign atop the tablet market. They were the first to enter with the iPad, and have continued to dominate as they upgrade the device for public consumption.
Towards late 2011, the Kindle Fire started making waves. In the fourth quarter of 2011, 4.8 million Kindle Fires were shipped. The impressive sales data led to speculation that the Kindle Fire would become a relevant competitor in the tablet market. New data however is not aligning with that speculation as the number of units shipped dropped to 750,000 last quarter. Continue

Digital Publishers and Online Marketers Turning to Tablets
Consumer confidence appears high with tablet devices
Tablets play a major part in making a digital revenue stream viable for publishers. Recent statistics have shown that digital publishing apps are one of the main sales destinations for tablet owners.
eBooks also present a relevant digital revenue stream. The market has seen tremendous growth as sales have increased by 300% for the second year. Additional information shows that eBook readers consume more content, including print books, than other consumers. Continue
Barnes & Noble and Microsoft Form Partnership
The digital e-reading market just got a little more interesting as Barnes & Noble recently announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft.
Consumers have the opportunity to benefit from this partnership, as a Windows 8 application will be used for Nook. This will provide "one of the world's largest digital catalogues of e-Books, magazines and newspapers to hundreds of millions of Windows customers in the U.S. and internationally," according to Book Business.

Tablet Competition Heating Up, Again
When the iPad was originally released, it marked the beginning of the tablet competition. Since that time, other devices have reached the market, including Kindle, Nook, and Android-powered tablets.
Today, we are seeing new life in the market as it's been reported that the Kindle Fire has captured half of the Android Tablet Market. Continue
Avoiding the Mistakes of Publishing Predecessors
Over the last decade, our consultants have seen many publishers fail in building an audience, and a viable business, online. We hate to see it, we really do. But we need to pay attention to these instances so we can report it to our clients and tell them what not to do. That's typically a part of our live events; we tell the attendees what strategies they should be using, and which they should avoid, so they can find success in digital publishing.
Digital publishing success is not trial and error anymore. Although testing the waters of new resources that develop is expected, there is a much more elaborate set of strategies that should be the main focus for digital publishers. Continue

How to Generate More Revenue with Apps
Selling a digital subscription to a magazine app is the game plan for many digital publishers as it brings them continuous revenue. However, one-off digital products in the form of apps can be another way to pique the interest of subscribers and non-subscribers alike, while creating multiple opportunities to generate revenue.
With one-off apps, publishers can target people who have never purchased before at a lower price point, or free. It can be another way of expanding your digital footprint with current subscribers. And in addition to providing the app, you can offer sponsorship or advertising within it to different companies. In this case, if you were selling the one-off app, and offering sponsorship of it, you'd have the chance to generate revenue in two different ways. Continue
Discovering the Future of Digital Publishing
Apps have been touted recently as the beginning of the end for physical media. Although I don't necessarily agree with that, they play a major part in the evolution of the digital footprint.
The variation in app creation is an interesting feature of these digital products. Apps can be free, or premium editions costing money. They can be highlighting content, or they can be selling specific products. Above all, apps should be media-rich, interactive, and properly functioning. Continue

Digital Publishers Battle a Changing Environment
Three changes the digital publishing industry must recognize
We've seen a lot of changes from being in the online business and digital publishing markets since the early 2000s. When we first began teaching publishers about developing audience's online, social networks like Facebook and Twitter weren't around. At that time, blogs were the main source of social activity.
Computing devices were also quite different then. Laptop and desktop computers were the options. Today, there are additional mobile devices; tablets and smart phones are expected to surpass desktop computing in usage. Continue

Digital Publishing Remits: Getting 75% from Apple
While there were dozens of great ideas circulated at last week's Mequoda Summit in Colorado, one in particular was so simple it stands out in my mind.
John Bolton, group publisher at Interweave, has been negotiating, if you could call it that, with Apple, Zinio, Barnes & Noble and other digital affiliates.
As he points out, the negotiation is pretty one-sided. He has, however, figured out a way to receive five extra points from Apple and it's incredibly easy to do. Continue

100 year old veteran honored
Published: Oct. 1, 2020 at 5:09 PM CDT
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (KNOP) - A 100-year-old veteran was honored Thursday surrounded by four generations of family and fellow local veterans. WWII veteran Merle Cheek was honored as an Admiral in the Great Navy of the State of Nebraska. His family says this was a special day for them to celebrate life.
"I just felt it was really neat to be able to honor dad and it's been such a pleasure to hear about all the places he traveled and the stories he's told me over the years when he was in World War II," said Merle's daughter, Donna Mahnken.
Merle's wife of almost 70 years, Stella Cheek, said he carried his faith with him during his time in the war.
"Merle was a devout Christian when he went into the service and had the opportunity to share his faith with many of the young people that were with him," said Stella Cheek.
Captain Schmidt with Troop D of the State Patrol announced the proclamation and The St. Pats band played, which Merle's family says they appreciate.
"Many young people have not met a veteran that's over 100 though there are many. So that meant a lot to be able to have a band out here today and others participate," said Merle's son, George Cheek.
The day concluded with Merle and his family spending time together reflecting on his many stories. His family says they love to listen to his stories of his long life.

Q: GMaps API v3 - jQuery - Problems with array I am building an google map on my web page. This map has some markers. These markers are created with information of a json file. This all works fine. But when I want to use a list of all markers, this list.length is always 0 in an other function. Only in the function where i put the markers into the list, the list isn't empty.
I made a fidler of my code, so it's more viewable for you guys.
The problem is with the array "positions" and the function buttons.
The alert in the buttons function, shows 0. And I have no idea why..
Thanks in advance!
Here my Fiddle

A: The idea is simple. You are calling Ajax asyncronously. When you are trying to alert positions.length value, your Ajax is not being delivered yet,and your position array is not populated with values and is empty(.length=0).  Put buttons() call inside of the callback:
loadMarkers();
//buttons();
//     |    //.............
//     |    //.............
//     |    //.............
            polyline.setMap(map);
//     --->
            buttons();
      });

Separate children's rooms were among many of Dana's innovations.
Dana believed that the library should serve all members of its public, regardless of their age, occupation, or native language.
This year, as we celebrate the 50th anniversary of John Cotton Dana Library at Rutgers University–Newark, we are also reflecting on the legacy of the library's namesake. Who was John Cotton Dana and why are we proud that our library bears his name?
Known as "Newark's First Citizen," Dana left an indelible mark on the city and on American public institutions more broadly. After early career stints as public library director in Denver and Springfield, in 1902 Dana moved to Newark, where he would serve as the director of the Newark Public Library for 27 years.
Publicize the library in innovative ways, including newspaper ads, billboards, and radio spots.
Dana founded the Newark Museum and was pioneering in his focus on American artwork at a time when European art was in vogue. He also served on the board of trustees for the institutions that would eventually become Rutgers–Newark.
His contributions are remembered by the American Library Association through its John Cotton Dana Award for public relations, the Special Libraries Association with its John Cotton Dana Award for lifetime achievement, and the New Jersey Association of Museums with its Dana Award for outstanding contributions to the field.
To learn more about Dana and the 50th anniversary of the library, view the exhibition on display in the lobby of John Cotton Dana Library.

Allopurinol as a therapeutic option in cardiovascular disease.
Okafor, Osita N and Farrington, K and Gorog, Diana A (2017) Allopurinol as a therapeutic option in cardiovascular disease. Pharmacology & therapeutics, 172. pp. 139-150. ISSN 1879-016X. This article is available to all HEFT staff and students via ASK HEFT Discovery tool http://tinyurl.com/z795c8c using their HEFT Athens Login.
Epidemiological studies indicate that hyperuricaemia is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Alongside uric acid formation, increased xanthine oxidase activity also results in the formation of oxidative free radicals and superoxide particles. Oxidative stress significantly contributes to the development of cardiovascular disease, including endothelial cell dysfunction, atherosclerosis, vascular calcification and impaired myocardial energetics. Allopurinol, a competitive xanthine oxidase inhibitor, in addition to reducing serum uric acid levels, can act as a free radical scavenger. Although traditionally used for the management of gout, there has been renewed interest in the role of allopurinol in the management of cardiovascular disease. In this review, we summarise the role of the xanthine oxidase pathway in the generation of oxidative stress and evaluate the current body of evidence assessing the clinical effects of allopurinol in patients with cardiovascular disease. A number of small clinical studies have shown a beneficial effect of allopurinol in reducing ischemia-reperfusion injury in the setting of bypass surgery and coronary angioplasty. Additionally, studies in heart failure indicate a potential favourable effect of allopurinol on endothelial dysfunction, LV function and haemodynamic indices, particularly in those with raised serum uric acid levels. Whilst this cheap and readily available pharmacological option may offer a very cost effective therapeutic option, large-scale prospective studies are required to better delineate its role in reducing hard clinical end-points.

Former Sri Lankan President Mahinda Rajapaksa has been sworn in as prime minister after the country's president sacked incumbent Ranil Wickremesinghe, in a surprise move that threatens political turmoil in the Indian Ocean nation.
The appointment was confirmed in a statement from President Maithripala Sirisena's office on Friday, but Wickremesinghe later told local media that he remained the prime minister.
"I retain the confidence of the house. I am the prime minister and I have the majority," Wickremesinghe said.
The move ends a more than three-year-old coalition government that was formed on promises of economic reform and accountability for alleged atrocities committed during Rajapaksa's 10-year rule at the close of Sri Lanka's bloody civil war.
Sirisena, who was health minister under Rajapaksa, joined forces with Wickremesinghe to defeat the former president in elections in January 2015.
He was elected as president largely thanks to the backing of Wickremesinghe's United National Party (UNP).
At the time, Colombo was facing economic sanctions from Western countries over Rajapaksa's human rights record.
Earlier on Friday, Sirisensa's United People's Freedom Alliance had said it would quit the ruling coalition.
Relations between Sirisena and Wickremesinghe have soured since their parties suffered humiliating losses in February's local council elections.
Sirisena is also believed to be behind a failed attempt to impeach Wickremesinghe in April.
The ruling coalition has been further strained in recent days by strong criticism from Sirisena and his allies that ministers from Wickremesinghe's party did not act properly in investigating an alleged assassination plot to kill the president and former Defence Secretary Gotabaya Rajapaksa, the new prime minister's younger brother.
Mahinda Amaraweera, a presidential aide, told The Associated Press news agency that Rajapaksa has the majority needed in the 225-member parliament to run a stable government.
Al Jazeera's Minelle Fernandez, reporting from Colombo, said Rajapaksa's shock appointment has brought uncertainty to Sri Lanka.
"There was no inkling that this might happen. It was only after the swearing-in that we started seeing videos and pictures of the ceremony," she said.
Mangala Samaraweera, the finance minister of the outgoing government, labelled Wickremesinghe's ousting "an anti-democratic coup".
Rajapaksa, who served as president from 2005 to 2015, put down the decades-old Tamil Tiger separatist struggle in May 2009 through a military assault that killed up to 40,000 ethnic Tamil civilians, according to rights groups.
His government was also accused of corruption and murdering political opponents.
Sirisena had pledged accountability for war atrocities, but has faced international criticism for being slow to deliver on justice.

Lightning strikes more than 100 million
times per year in the tropics
Tropical storms often begin with an impressive display of pyrotechnics, but researchers have largely overlooked the role of lightning strikes in tropical ecosystems.
Researchers at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama have published dramatic maps showing the locations of lightning strikes across the tropics in Global Change Biology. Based on ground and satellite data, they estimate that more than 100 million lighting strikes on land each year will radically alter forests and other ecosystems in the region between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn.
"Lightning influences the ability of forests to store biomass, and therefore carbon, because it tends to strike the largest trees," said Evan Gora, a post-doctoral fellow at STRI who recently finished his doctorate at the University of Louisville. "And lightning strikes may also be very important in savanna ecosystems."

Because lightning is so challenging to study, it has been overlooked as a change-agent in tropical forests where researchers focus their energy on more obvious disturbances like drought, fire, and high winds.
In a previous study, the first to examine the effects of lightning on a tropical forest landscape, the same team found that lightning probably kills half of the biggest trees in a Panamanian forest. Tropical ecologist Steve Yanoviak, study coauthor and professor at the University of Louisville who was studying ants in the tropical forest canopy—and often thought about the role of lightning while climbing trees, invited lightning researchers Jeffrey Burchfield and Phillip Bitzer from the University of Alabama at Huntsville to set up lightning detectors at STRI's Barro Colorado Island Research Station.
"We found that a lightning strike damages a total of 23.6 trees and kills 5.5 of these trees within a year, on average," Yanoviak said.

Now the team is asking how lightning affects tropical ecosystems everywhere. Gora led the effort to map lightning strike counts based on images from the Earth Networks Global Lightning Network (ENGLN) onto a map of tropical ecosystems created using land-cover categories from the International Geosphere-Biosphere Program and the Moderate Resolution Spectroradiometer (MODIS) Land Cover Climate Modeling Grid.
Based on satellite data about strike locations and on-the-ground effects around 92 lightning strikes, including many from the previous study, Gora and his colleagues estimated that lightning damages approximately 832 million tropical trees each year. Roughly a quarter of the trees probably die from their injuries.
Gora and colleagues then asked whether there was a connection between the number of lightning strikes and the type of ecosystem, its biomass and climate variables like rainfall and temperature. They found that lightning strikes were more frequent in forests, savannas and urban areas than in grasslands, shrublands and croplands.

Forests that experience more lightning strikes each year have fewer large trees per hectare, perhaps because the large individual trees in these forests stand out more, higher rates of woody biomass turnover (more tree biomass dies each year) and less total aboveground biomass.
But more burning questions remain. No one knows why some trees survive lightning strikes while others die, although it is likely that trees have evolved ways of coping with such a common threat.
And, as climate change accelerates, polluted, hot air over cities may also increase the number of lightning strikes there. What will the effects be on vegetation in urban areas?
"This is the best evidence to date that lightning is a major disturbance influencing tropical forest dynamics and structure," said STRI staff scientist and study co-author Helene Muller-Landau, "We suspect that our study vastly underestimates the total effect of lightning. Lightning strikes may play a major role in forest biomass/carbon cycling not only in tropical forests but also in other tropical ecosystems."

Funding Available to Community Organizations for Health Equity Capacity Building Grants
Department of Health grant program aims to reduce health disparities:
Funding is now available for community-based organizations that are working to address health disparities in Vermont. Through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Vermont Department of Health has established a Health Equity Capacity Building program that, in partnership with the Vermont Community Foundation, will provide financial and technical support opportunities for community organizations to build their program capacity.
"The COVID-19 pandemic shined a spotlight on health inequities across the country as well as here in Vermont," said Deputy Health Commissioner Kelly Dougherty. "We learned many lessons, and forged important, new partnerships to support under-resourced communities. These grants and the expertise of the Vermont Community Foundation create an unprecedented opportunity to provide communities with significant resources to address health equity."
The Health Department has identified reducing health disparities and promoting health equity as fundamental priorities, and the State of Vermont has declared racism to be a public health emergency. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, community-based organizations have been key to effectively reaching populations who are at higher risk as well as those who have been historically underserved. The Health Equity Capacity Building program incorporates lessons learned from efforts to protect and promote the health of Vermonters who have experienced socioeconomic disadvantage, historical injustice, and systemic racism.
The Department of Health will award the Health Equity Capacity Building grants—expected to be in amounts of at least $25,000, with an average of $150,000. The Vermont Community Foundation is supporting the program as a facilitator of the application and technical assistance process.
The first deadline for TRACK ONE applications is midnight on May 1, 2022. Applications must be received by this time to be considered in the first cohort. We expect applicants in the first cohort to be notified of grant decisions in early June. Additional applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through August 31, 2022, as available funding permits. This is a recent change as of June 1, 2022.
Applications for Track Two will open on June 1, 2022. The first deadline for Track Two is midnight on July 8, 2022. We expect applicants in the first cohort to be notified of grant decisions in early August. Additional applications will be accepted on a rolling basis through August 31, 2022, as available funding permits.
For more information, and to apply for a Health Equity Capacity Building grant, please visit vermontcf.org/health-equity.

Candidates for California's State Superintendent Face Off in Forum
By Daarel Burnette II on August 24, 2018 6:41 PM
At a forum on Friday, Marshall Tuck and Tony Thurmond, candidates for California's next state superintendent, seemed to agree on many of the ironies of California's K-12 school system:
• The state has the world's fifth-largest economy, but one of the nation's worst-funded school systems, according to Education Week's Quality Counts;
• Despite having one of the nation's best higher-education system, its K-12 system graduates hundreds of thousands of black and Latino students who are significantly unprepared for college, and,
• Despite being the home of Silicon Valley, the state still struggles to collect and report rudimentary data on what goes on inside its many schoolhouses.
But Thurmond and Tuck markedly differ in this hotly contested—and increasingly expensive—race on how best to improve their state's public schools and how to address some of the state's most intractable problems, including the state's teacher shortage and funding crisis.
The biggest difference between the two candidates is who they're being backed by. The race is a nonpartisan one,but Tony Thurmond, a career politician and Democratic state legislator, has the support of the state's teachers' union, the California Teachers Association. Marshall Tuck, an education advocate who ran for the job in 2014 but lost, is backed by the state's charter sector.
Who wins this race will have big policy repercussions as the state looks to overhaul its 26-year-old charter school law, pay down its ballooning pension debt, and address a teacher shortage that's left thousands of students sitting in front of unprepared or substitute teachers for months at a time.
At Friday's forum, sponsored by the non-partisan Public Policy Institute of California, both candidates urged the need for change.
Tuck and Thurmond agreed on many initatives, including expanding the state's pre-K system and its student wrap-around services, providing more money to its schools, and streamlining the state's professional development for teachers.
But toward the end of the forum, held at the Sheraton Hotel, sharp policy differences began to emerge.
Tuck said he wants to change the state's teacher pay structure in order to better incentivize more-experienced and better-qualified teachers to work at the worst-performing schools.
"We need teachers and principals who will stay in high poverty communities," Tuck said.
Thurmond said that effort would amount to grading teachers based on test scores, a charge Tuck quickly denied.
"If we create a differentiated pay scale, we'll encourage teachers to teach to the test," Thurmond said. "Teachers are more than a test score."
And Thurmond accused Tuck and his supporters of not supporting prior propositions on the state ballot to increase school funding.
That amounted to a bold-faced lie, Tuck said.
Throughout the forum, Thurmond described in great detail his up-from-poverty story.
"I could've ended up in California state prison," Thurmond said. "Instead, I ended up in California's state legislature. My lived experience has informed me on why this work is so important. I think education can save lives because it saved mine."
And Tuck said he learned by running his own set of charter schools in Los Angeles, all the necessary things to improve schools, which he said required accurate and easy-to-understand data and teacher flexibility.
"We need to use every tool in the toolkit to provide our children with a quality education," the former president of Green Dot Public Schools said.
Californians will decide who will be their next state superintendent on Nov. 6.

Education: Beyond the Learning Curve
The Journey So Far
The K. Kasturirangan committee has submitted the Draft National Education Policy, 2019. The new schooling policy could are available in November.
Five public universities have been given the 'Institution of Eminence (IoE)' tag; 5 personal varsities have received letters of cause for the equal.
In all, the University Grants Commission (UGC) has recommended IoE fame for 15 public and private establishments, respectively.
The HRD ministry has launched the National Initiative for School Heads' and Teachers' Holistic Advancements (NISHTHA) program to educate over 4.2 million instructors across the usa.
The Shagun portal will combine over 230,000 academic websites, inclusive of the ones of 1,2 hundred Kendriya Vidyalayas, 600 Navodaya Vidyalayas, 18,000 other Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE)-affiliated faculties, 30 State Councils of Educational Research and Training (SCERTs), and 19,000 organizations affiliated to the National Council for Teacher Education (NCTE). The portal will make to be had report cards of one.5 million faculties. It goals to attach some nine.2 million teachers and 260 million students.
The National Medical Commission Bill replaces the corruption-plagued Medical Council of India. The bill additionally provides for a commonplace entrance 'NEET' examination and regulates fees in private colleges. Some 75 new authorities scientific colleges also are to come up.
Under the National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology, the National Digital Library of India venture has built a digital repository of learning assets. More than 30 million digital assets are available through the library now, and it has over five million college students as individuals.
In its 2d time period, the Modi authorities' blueprint for the training region protected, revealing a new country-wide training policy, filling 0. Five million school positions in better training, changing the UGC with a Higher Education Commission of India, and fixing new accreditation policies
That finalizing the draft schooling coverage took five years, and two panels don't augur properly. Some of the measures taken, such as the launch of a instructors' education program and an included college portal, are part of the draft coverage. However, what is needed is included movement rather than initiatives in isolation. The HRD ministry additionally plans to unveil a five-year imaginative and prescient record to fast-tune academic reforms.
In 2018, the authorities had granted IoE popularity to a few public institutes and issued letters of purpose for the same to a few non-public institutes. The idea turned into creating a aggressive spirit for growing world-magnificence institutions. The hundred-day blueprint sought to grow the number of IoEs to 30. Accordingly, the UGC's Empowered Expert Committee recommended that 15 public and 15 non-public institutes be recognized as IoEs. The government has taken action regarding 10 institutes. The Modi authorities have failed miserably in their purpose of filling up three hundred,000 school positions in higher academic establishments.

Nigeria has been declared officially free of Ebola after six weeks with no new cases, the World Health Organisation says.
Africa's most populous country won praise for its swift response after an infected Liberian diplomat brought the disease there in July.
The WHO officially declared Senegal Ebola-free on Friday.
The outbreak has killed more than 4,500 people in West Africa, mostly in Liberia, Guinea, and Sierra Leone.
An estimated 70 per cent of those infected have died in those countries.

Meanwhile, European Union foreign ministers are meeting in Luxembourg to discuss how to strengthen their response to the threat posed by Ebola.
European countries have committed more than 500m euros (£400m; $600m) but the UK is pressing to double that amount.
The money is being sought to help reinforce over-stretched healthcare systems in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea and to mitigate the damage Ebola is doing to their economies.
Ahead of the talks, German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier suggested the EU could send a civilian EU mission to West Africa that would serve as a platform for sending medical staff.
Another diplomat said there were plans for three countries to spearhead aid to the region – the UK for Sierra Leone, France for Guinea and the US for Liberia.
Earlier, the Spanish government said a nurse who became the first person to contract Ebola outside West Africa had tested negative for the virus.
