Arctic Climate Impact Assessment
Global warming is happening now, bringing changes to our climate and our world. Yet the climate is changing at an accelerated pace in the Arctic region. In the past few decades, temperatures in the Arctic have risen at nearly twice the rate as in the rest of the world, disrupting the region and its people in many ways. A new overview report of the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment, Impacts of a Warming Arctic, explores these impacts in depth.
The Arctic region has long fascinated humankind, sparking holiday myths, motivating explorers, and inspiring people to create clever solutions for living in extreme cold. Yet Arctic dwellers from Alaska to Siberia have noticed, within their lifetimes, significant changes in local climate. Scientists have now quantified these trends: climate change is already occurring in the Arctic, and happening at an accelerating pace.
Mounting evidence of climate change in the region motivated international organizations to call for a four-year study of Arctic climate known as the Arctic Climate Impact Assessment (ACIA). The Arctic Council, an intergovernmental forum with eight Arctic country members and six Indigenous Peoples organizations, and the International Arctic Science Committee (IASC) representing 18 national academies of science released its report Impacts of a Warming Arctic in November 2004.
The report establishes evidence of rapid climate change in the Arctic over the last half century and projects much larger changes ahead. Global climate models use emissions scenarios based on the anticipated greenhouse gas emissions from factors such as economic growth and energy consumption to project future climate outcomes. The Arctic Climate Impact Assessment researchers selected the mid-range emissions scenario used by the 2001 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
Observed changes in the Arctic over the last century
For a springtime diversion, one Arctic community wages bets on the exact timing of river ice breakup; the winners have picked on earlier dates in recent years. Today's icebreakers transit the Northwest Passage with relative ease compared to the 19th century explorers. The overwhelming volume of scientific data in the ACIA report presents unmistakable trends that amplify this anecdotal evidence.
Temperature: Mean annual surface air temperature over the past 50 years has increased 3.6 to 5.4°F in Alaska and Siberia and decreased by 1.8°F over southern Greenland.
Sea ice: Sea ice extent in late summer decreased 15 to 20% over the past 30 years (see above).
Glaciers: Between 1961 and 1998, North American glaciers lost about 108 cubic miles of ice—about equivalent to spreading one foot of water over California, Arizona, Nevada, Utah, and Colorado.
Vegetation: White spruce, the most valuable timber species of the North American boreal forest, experienced sharp declines as summer temperatures frequently exceeded the tree's critical threshold temperature.
Marine Animals: Almost no seal pups, dependent on sea ice, survived in Canada's Gulf of St. Lawrence during the ice-free years of 1967, 1981, 2000, 2001, and 2002.
Fisheries: Warming in the Bering Sea after 1977 has increased the herring, Pacific cod, skates, and flatfish species, and Pacific salmon commercial catches have been high since 1980.
Indigenous Culture: Peary caribou populations on Canadian arctic islands plummeted from 26,000 in 1961 to 1000 by 1997, affecting people whose culture is intertwined with caribou.
Projected changes in the Arctic over the next century
Climate shifts detected in the Arctic serve as an early warning for global climate impacts. Listed below are a few of the projected changes based on a mid-range emissions scenario.
Temperature: Mean annual surface air temperature over the Arctic region (north of 60° latitude) is projected to increase 3.6°F by 2050 and 8°F by 2100.
Sea ice: Summer average sea ice extent is projected to dramatically decrease by at least 50% by 2100.
Glaciers: Surface air temperatures are projected to warm enough in this century to initiate long-term melting of the Greenland ice sheet.
Vegetation: Forests will expand northward into the current tundra regions. Although forest growth increases carbon dioxide uptake, this beneficial effect will be overwhelmed by the release of large stores of methane and carbon dioxide as tundra regions thaw. The increased absorption of solar radiation by forests, compared to the more reflective tundra they will replace, will also lead to net warming.
Marine Animals: Ringed seals are entirely dependent on sea-ice for their survival and will be the most vulnerable to reduced sea-ice projections. Polar bears are also dependent on sea ice and their preferred diet is almost exclusively Ringed seal. If there is almost complete loss of summer sea-ice polar bears may not survive as a species.
Fisheries: Warming may improve fish stocks of cod and herring but threaten cold water stocks such as northern shrimp.
Indigenous Culture: Caribou and reindeer depend on tundra vegetation, and will be affected as projected vegetation zones shift northward and the tundra area diminishes significantly. The shifts in terrestrial and in particular marine species dependent on sea ice threaten traditional food sources for indigenous people.
Navigation: The Northern Sea Route navigation season is likely to increase from the current 20 to 30 days per year to almost 100 days per year by 2080.
Ozone: Arctic climate shifts are expected to delay recovery of the northern stratospheric ozone layer.
Arctic impact on global sea-level rise
One of the ways a warming Arctic could directly impact the rest of the world is by raising global sea level. The place at which the sea surface intersects with the land depends on many factors such as tides, local atmospheric effects such as storm surges, sinking or uplifting of a land region, the temperature and salinity of ocean layers, and how much of the world's water supply is stored on land in lakes, groundwater, snow, and ice.
Polar regions currently store vast amounts of water on land as frozen ice sheets and glaciers. Fully 3.1 million cubic kilometers of ice is contained in the Arctic glaciers—roughly equivalent to 1.3 times the volume of seawater in the Gulf of Mexico. Scientists are working to better quantify, through measurements and models, the rate at which this ice will melt and be released to the ocean. The ACIA report projects that combined land-based Arctic ice melt will contribute a little over an inch of sea level rise over the next 60 years and nearly 3 inches by 2100.
The IPCC 2001 report, based on the full range of emissions scenarios, projected an overall global sea-level rise of between 4 inches and 3 feet by the end of this century. The bulk of this sea-level rise is based on the thermal expansion of the ocean from warming. In light of the new data presented in the ACIA report, scientists will be able to better project the Arctic contribution to expected global sea-level rise. Although a couple of inches may not sound like a significant increase in sea level, consider that low-lying coastal areas, such as parts of Louisiana or Bangladesh, are very vulnerable to every inch of sea-level rise.

About five years ago, I purchased the "Household Encyclopedia," edited by N.H. and S.K. Mager and printed and reprinted between the early 1950s and 1970s. I was mainly drawn to this book for its historical insights into past housekeeping. As you can see, I paid only $2 for this copy at a used book store.
Really? A strong ammonia inhalant? Try consulting a doctor for noxious fume effects!
Described by various dictionaries as a psychological disorder with symptoms ranging from convulsions to a trance-like demeanor to extreme stress, the word hysteria brings to my mind black-and-white movies in which the (typically) young woman is "slapped" by a close friend, relative, or doctor to bring her back to her senses.
The crazy ammonia treatment aside, this "ailment" of hysteria seems to be a fairly common malady in Romantic and Victorian English literature (even in American Realism). The narrator of "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman comes to mind, as does Mrs. Bennett in Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austin. Hysteria sometimes is referred to a nervous problem.
Before last year, I would have laughed off this entire malady as fiction, a phase, or over-dramatics. However, one of our residents went through a period with many of the symptoms expressed above. He was put on some anti-seizure medication that the doctor later realized was too strong for him, causing many of the symptoms. Before that realization, the symptoms went on for several weeks in a row. Interestingly, some staff were solicitous (overly doting),and it only seemed to cause his symptoms to increase. One or two staff spoke firmly, something to the effect that he needed to get control of himself, and it actually seemed to help. Once the doctor took him off the anti-seizure medications, it all went away.
I believe the memoirs of those who lived long ago (and even the fiction) are of real people with real, not imagined, life situations. I am intrigued by their beliefs and reactions, but believe we have not really changed that much. Just like today, some maladies were physical, some chemical, and some spiritual.
She indicates that the doctor (who is her husband in the story) does not believe she is really sick. This may come across as if I am against doctors, which is far from the truth.
It is just interesting to hear her viewpoint. Was this the viewpoint of the writer as well?

Network science unravels the secrets of the evolution of Salmonella's disease adaptations
Visualisation of SalmoNet
A new resource created by scientists at the Norwich Research Park is helping to uncover what makes certain strains of bacteria more dangerous than others.
There are many different types of Salmonella bacteria, most of which have adapted to live in the guts of different animals, including humans, other mammals and birds. Some of these strains have further evolved extra abilities to evade their hosts' immune defences and escape the gut, causing invasive disease. These types of Salmonella are of most concern as they cause the most severe disease, including typhoid.
To understand what makes certain strains so invasive, researchers have been looking at the genetic differences between these and less invasive strains. However, simply identifying which genes are present in each type of Salmonella isn't enough, we need to know how they deploy these resources, how they are triggered, and the identity of regulated targets.
To address this, Dr Tamás Korcsmáros, a systems biologist from the Quadram Institute (QI) and the Earlham Institute, has led the development of SalmoNet alongside a research group with expertise in Salmonella infection at QI led by Dr Rob Kingsley, and collaborating with the network modelling and food safety scientist, Professor Jozsef Baranyi. SalmoNet uses network biology and bioinformatic techniques to collate molecular interactions within Salmonella, and to link information on how genes and metabolic pathways are regulated in Salmonella, and how proteins interact with each other.
This systems biology approach is crucial to unravelling the complexity of all the interactions that happen in the networks within a cell, and is now being used to answer the question of how bacteria adapt to their environment, and how bacteria associated with disease evolve. This is the first time that this type of approach has been used to investigate Salmonella.
The core of SalmoNet is data derived from ten of the best characterised Salmonella strains, five well-known as gastro-intestinal and five invasive extra-intestinal strains capable of causing systemic infections. This is helping researchers to identify key differences in how genes and pathways are regulated between these two groups, and how different strains have adapted to particular host species. The advantage of looking at global networks as in SalmoNet is that this can identify not only critical protein interactions and metabolic connections corresponding to various processes, but also master regulators of these processes needed for invasive disease. These may be useful as potential drug targets, and will help in the development of new therapies against systemic Salmonella infections.
SalmoNet has been made available online, the first such resource for the global Salmonella research community – http://salmonet.org. The research was supported by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC).
The regulatory nework in SalmoNet
SalmoNet will be widely used as a source of novel predicted interactions for experimental validation, or provide important interaction information to interpret the measurements from experiments performed in labs around the world. The approach is scalable and will be extended beyond the ten core strains, for example to look at novel strains and characterise their unique and common disease characteristics.
The researchers are also interested in using SalmoNet to understand how Salmonella interacts with proteins and signalling molecules in its host organism, especially in humans. Integrating SalmoNet to human signalling networks could uncover connections between the two, and identify new targets for drugs or therapies.
Reference: SalmoNet, an integrated network of ten Salmonella enterica strains reveals common and distinct pathways to host adaptation will be published in npj Systems Biology and Applications at 11:00am London time (BST) on October 18, 2018 doi: 10.1038/s41540-017-0034-z

HANetf lists World's first electric charging infrastructure ETF
HANetf is listing Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Equity UCITS ETF (ticker: ELEC) on the LSE, Deutsche Börse Xetra and Borsa Italiana
The ETF will provide investors a way to access the huge expansion of car charging infrastructure
ELEC is the World's first EV charging infrastructure ETF [1]
ELEC is classified as Article 8 under EU SFDR regulations. In order to achieve net-zero, electric vehicles will have to see widespread adoption – that is only possible if the necessary infrastructure is in place
April 2022. London, UK
HANetf, Europe's first full services 'white label' UCITS ETF issuer, is listing the Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Equity UCITS ETF (ticker: ELEC) on the London Stock Exchange (LSE), Deutsche Börse Xetra and Borsa Italiana. The ETF will be passported for sale across Europe.
With the world waking up to the risks posed by climate change, electric vehicles (EV) sales are soaring. In 2021 alone, global sales of EVs more than doubled. The number of EVs globally is projected to increase from 3% of all cars today to close to 60% by 2040. [2]
In order to sustain 600 million EVs on the road by 2040, todays charging infrastructure will need to see a huge expansion. Market research projects that the global electric vehicle charging station market size is to grow six-fold from 2022 to 2027.[3]
Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Equity UCITS ETF provides exposure to listed firms that have their main field of business in the development and construction of electric vehicle charging infrastructure and will benefit from this projected surge in demand. ELEC will track the Solactive EV Charging Infrastructure Index.
While electric vehicle manufacturing companies have seen significant growth in their valuations, the charging infrastructure market has not yet seen similar returns despite the clear connection to the manufacturer numbers, providing a promising investment opportunity. [4]
The electric vehicle charging theme will be composed of two sub-industries: Battery Charging Equipment Manufacturing and Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. The former will include companies such as Blink Charging (BLNK), Wallbox (WBX) and Beam Global (BEEM). The latter includes firms such as ChargePoint Holdings (CHPT) and EVgo (EVGO).
The companies held by the ETF will support the world's efforts to achieve net zero carbon emissions by boosting the very industry and technologies required to retire fossil fuel based vehicles. The holdings include companies creating battery charging equipment such as Blink Charging (BLNK), Wallbox (WBX) and Beam Global (BEEM).
ELEC tracks an index that incorporates ESG screens in its methodology which seeks to exclude companies that have significant involvement in activities relating to controversial/conventional weapons, tobacco, thermal coal and are in breach of UN Global Compact principles. As a result, ELEC is classified as an Article 8 fund under the SFDR regulations.[5]
Hector McNeil co-CEO and co-Founder of HANetf said: "The future of cars is electric. In a few decades, from Shenzhen to San Francisco, it will become the norm to drive a battery powered vehicle. However, underpinning this revolution will be a huge build out of car charging capacity. Just as the growth of traditional cars in the 20th century required the building of gas and petrol stations, the electric car revolution in the 21st century will require abundant charging stations and home units.
We are thrilled to be providing investors with a new thematic ETF to access this exciting growth area in the form of Electric Vehicle Charging Infrastructure Equity UCITS ETF (ticker: ELEC). At HANetf, we have been at the forefront of providing investors with solutions that tap into the world's transition to net-zero carbon emissions, be it through renewable energy ETFs, including Europe's first Solar ETF, or the world's first physically backed carbon allowance ETC. Our new electric car charging ETF fits perfectly into this wide range of offerings. ELEC further enhances HANetf's position as the provider with the most extensive range of thematic ETFs in Europe."
Timo Pfeiffer, Chief Markets Officer at Solactive, comments: "I still don't have an electric car myself but am sure this will change in the near future. As such, I started looking at the required charging infrastructure already and can see the potential of that sector overall globally. We are delighted to partner once more with HANetf to launch such a cutting-edge product that wraps up the potential to deliver added value to investors for years to come."

Uncanny X-Men #4 Builds-Up The Epic Story Against A Jesus-Like Villain (Review)
By Jake Vyper | More Articles , MTG Writer/Streamer
After the big revelation of the new Horsemen in the previous issue (You can read my review of Uncanny X-Men #3 here), we finally find out the Omega-level villain behind the world's chaos in Uncanny X-Men #4.
The X-Men mansion just exploded and Nate Grey, A.K.A. The X-Man is making big moves, and he's clearly an overpowered mutant who will remind you of Jesus Christ. Artist Pere Perez vividly brings the villain to life in just a few panels, and there's a fantastic full-page look of X-Man projecting his message into every mind on the planet.
Writers Ed Brisson, Matt Rosenberg, and Kelly Thompson continue to balance the various conflicts going on around the world. This is more like a build-up issue with some minor battles between the X-Men and The Horsemen of Salvation (Magneto, Omega Red, Blob, and Angel). Despite being disassembled, every X-Men group seems to serve a purpose in fighting an epic war: Storm's team is in the middle of a conflict between the soldiers and villagers but compared to previous issues, the battles are less chaotic. Beast is clearly up to something and will probably discover something bigger later on but it's too early to tell. Jean Grey's team is dealing with Omega Red, Blob, and a huge shark but I think the most interesting part is with the young mutants and Legion.
The fourth Uncanny X-men issue definitely continues the epic conflict the first three issues developed but it still feels like a beginning of a feature-length film, and there's definitely a cinematic quality to the way the various plots are juggled throughout the story. X-Man and the Horsemen of Salvation put a twist to how we view villains. While the dialogues and characterization portray them as individuals who are fighting for a cause they think is good, their ultimate mission is still unclear. X-Man somewhat reminds me of Madara Uchiha from the Naruto series in a way that he seems to have a vision of what he wants for the future but unlike the anime villain, his objective isn't well-developed yet.
The scene with Glob and Multiple Man in the final page of this issue seems to hint that Multiple Man is still the key to winning the epic war against X-Man and the Horsemen of Salvation (as Legion suggested) so we know that there's still hope.
Final Verdict: Uncanny X-Men #4 may not be as epic as the previous issue but it continues to develop an epic story that raises the question: "How can the X-Men defeat a villain who's essentially like a god?" The talented team of writers and Perez are giving fans what they love about X-Men and possibly building-up to something we haven't seen in any X-Men comic or movie before.

Decentralized POMDPs provide an expressive framework for sequential multi-agent decision making. Despite their high complexity, there has been significant progress in scaling up existing algorithms, largely due to the use of point-based methods. Performing point-based backup is a fundamental operation in state-of-the-art algorithms. We show that even a single backup step in the multi-agent setting is NP-Complete. Despite this negative worst-case result, we present an efficient and scalable optimal algorithm as well as a principled approximation scheme. The optimal algorithm exploits recent advances in the weighted CSP literature to overcome the complexity of the backup operation. The polytime approximation scheme provides a constant factor approximation guarantee based on the number of belief points. In experiments on standard domains, the optimal approach provides significant speedup (up to 2 orders of magnitude) over the previous best optimal algorithm and is able to increase the number of belief points by more than a factor of 3. The approximation scheme also works well in practice, providing near-optimal solutions to the backup problem.

Steven Gerrard's final home game as a Liverpool player – how much would you pay?
Glen Harrington
Liverpool play Crystal in May, in what will likely be Steven Gerrard's final game at Anfield…
A ticket close to the halfway line for the Premier League match between Liverpool and Crystal Palace at Anfield in May is selling for £1,985.56.
Liverpool player ratings v Everton, with Jordon Ibe and Emre Can the stand-out performers
How Twitter reacted to Everton 0-0 Liverpool – Joe Allen questioned again, while Jordon Ibe goes down well
Five things we learned from Liverpool v Everton, including life after Gerrard, the importance of Lucas and more
The increase in significance of the game in question is of course down to the fact that it could well be Steven Gerrard's last as a Liverpool player, as he prepares for his summer switch to LA Galaxy.
While progress to either the FA Cup or Europa League finals could briefly extend his stay, the match against Palace will definitely be his last in a Liverpool shirt at Anfield.
With fans well set for an emotional goodbye to one of our greatest ever players, who recently surpassed 700 games for the club, it appears as if some supporters will do whatever it takes to catch one final glimpse of our No.8.

Q: How to solve optimization problem with matrix constraint? I'm working with the following optimization problem below.
$$\min_{\Pi} \left[
\frac{1}{4 \lambda
   }\left((\Pi\vec{1}-s)^T K(\Pi\vec{1}-s) + \left(\Pi^T \vec{1}-t\right)^T K \left(\Pi^T \vec{1}-t\right)\right)-\text{Tr}[\Pi K]
\right]$$
Here, $\lambda$ is a scalar, $\Pi$ and $K$ are $n\times n$ matrices, and $s,t$ are $n\times 1$ probability vectors (i.e. the components sum up to $1$). Also $K$ is PSD and $\Pi$ has elements summing up to $1$.
I was able to empirically show that the diagonal elements of $\Pi^{*}$, the optimal $\Pi$, correspond to $\frac{s+t}{2}$ regardless of the choice of $\lambda$, but I am having difficulty showing this to be the case theoretically. Does anyone have any advice? I tried for the case when $n=2$ using Lagrange multipliers and even then it gets very messy.
I set up a Lagrange multipier where the matrix constraint $1^T \Pi 1=1$, and I end up getting as my first order conditions
$$2K [(\Pi+\Pi^T) \vec{1}-(s+t)] \vec{1}^T - K - \lambda \vec{1}\vec{1}^T = 0$$
and
$$1-\vec{1}^T \Pi \vec{1}=0.$$
I just don't see where to go from here. I'd like to use these to show $\vec{diag(\Pi^*)} = \frac{1}{2}(\vec{s+t})$. Also, how do I come up with KKT duals when every element of $\Pi$ must be nonnegative?
Anyone have any ideas?

MONDAY, Aug. 10, 2020 (HealthDay News) -- Black and Hispanic Americans are much more likely than white people to avoid going to the hospital for heart attack or stroke symptoms during the COVID-19 pandemic, an online survey reveals.
More than half (55%) of Hispanics, 45% of Black people and 40% of white people said they'd be scared to go to the hospital if they thought they were having a heart attack or stroke, because they might get infected with COVID-19.
Forty-one percent of Hispanics, 33% of Black people and 24% of white people said they would stay at home rather than risk exposure to COVID-19 at the hospital, according to the survey findings released by the American Heart Association (AHA).
To help ease fears about going to the hospital during the coronavirus pandemic, the AHA created a public education campaign in English and in Spanish called "Don't Die of Doubt."
It's designed to remind all Americans that, even during the pandemic, a hospital is the safest place to be if you develop symptoms of a heart attack or a stroke.
The survey findings are yet another challenge for minority Americans who are more likely to have underlying health conditions such as heart disease and diabetes, and who are dying of COVID-19 at disproportionately high rates, said AHA volunteer medical expert Dr. Rafael Ortiz.
He's chief of neuro-endovascular surgery at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City.
"Health care professionals know what to do even when things seem chaotic, and emergency departments have made plans behind the scenes to keep patients and health care workers safe, even during a pandemic," Ortiz said in an AHA news release.
Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, and heart attack and stroke symptoms are always urgent. Don't hesitate to call 911, don't stay home, and don't die of doubt, the AHA urges.
The U.S. National Institutes of Health has more on heart attack and stroke.

North Georgia Mountain Crisis Network Inc opens in new window
Cherokee Family Violence Center opens in new window
Tina survived the unthinkable – seven gunshots from her estranged husband. Now she's working hard so she can enjoy her passions again. October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.
Tina and Marty
Tina Davis takes a moment to pose with her State Farm® Agent Marty Callahan during her 5K run event, Tina's Cat Run, to raise money for the North Georgia Mountain Crisis Network Inc. and the Cherokee Family Violence Center.
Speaking to the Crowd
Tina Davis, far right, shares her story of domestic violence to a crowd of 281 people at her 5K run, Tina's Cat Run. Tina was shot seven times by her estranged husband in February.
Ball Ground, Ga.,
Seven Shots Changed Her Life
Tina Davis loves running, her kids and cats.
But her life changed forever in February. She now loves that she has the opportunity to learn to walk, and run, again.
Tina, a former State Farm® employee, was shot seven times by her estranged husband. At least one of those shots was to the head.
After some marital problems, Tina separated from her husband. He attempted to win her back numerous times. When he realized she was planning to pursue a divorce, he attacked her at her home.
"I was getting ready for work when he kicked the door in and came into my house," Tina says. "He told me no one else could have me, and then he began shooting."
Tina was in the hospital for 19 days, followed by inpatient recovery for six weeks, including reconstructive surgery on her hand. She then completed four weeks of outpatient work, and continues to have intensive physical rehabilitation three hours a day, three days a week.
"When I first woke up, I couldn't feel anything below my waist," says Tina. "Now I'm walking with a walker. I'm hoping in the next six months I'll be back to walking on my own. I want to return to being a fitness instructor and a runner."
The first two years of rehabilitation are when patients experience the most improvements, so Tina is hoping to make the most of her next two years. Tina ran six half-marathons in 2017. "In 2020, my goal is to run 12 half-marathons."
Standing with Sons
Tina Davis used her event to raise money for two local organizations supporting victims of domestic violence and she praised the emergency responders who saved her life. Accompanying her on stage are her two sons, Mark Mullins, left, and Mason Mullins, right.
At the Finish Line
Tina Davis, middle, finishes the 1-mile run/walk by walking across the finish line with assistance from her walker and her sons, Mark Mullins, left, and Mason Mullins, behind her. Running is one of her passions and she hopes to be walking without a walker by the end of her 12-week rehabilitation.
Tina knows she has a lot of recovery ahead of her, but she's celebrating her rehabilitation and the first responders who saved her.
"My niece wanted to do something for me, and she suggested we do a benefit race during October, Domestic Violence Awareness Month," Tina says. "I loved the idea. It benefits the North Georgia Mountain Crisis Network Inc. and the Cherokee Family Violence Center in Canton, Ga."
The event included a 5K run, a 1-mile fun run, games and face painting. Tina shared her story and thanked the paramedic, EMT and police officers who helped save her during her domestic violence attack.
"It went well. We had 281 runners. I participated in the 1-mile run. I did most of it my wheelchair, but I walked across the finish line," Tina says.

One bell was a pivotal part of the migration journey for thousands of LDS pioneers moving from Utah to Arizona in the late 1800s.
A fly fisherman at Lees Ferry, April 13, 2018, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
Tens of thousands of Arizonans trace their roots in the state back to a mass migration of Mormon settlers, who made a harrowing journey from Utah over a century ago.
They walked hundreds of miles, through rugged desert and winding red-rock canyons. The most perilous portion of the journey came when they crossed the Colorado River, then a raging force without dams.
At Lees Ferry, the only safe crossing between Utah and Arizona for hundreds of miles, they ferried or floated countless wagons and livestock across the untamed river.
They made the fraught journey in search of fertile farmland and new opportunity, directed by leader Brigham Young. Many had already fled religious persecution in the midwestern United States.
Today, the legacy of that migration can be seen throughout eastern and southern Arizona, where they established communities like Mesa, Gilbert, Safford and Snowflake.
Their story, often unknown to recent Arizona transplants, could be the focus of a new monument at the Arizona Capitol Mall.
The proposed monument's focal point would be a school bell that once hung at Lees Ferry, the small settlement where the pioneers crossed the river on ferry barges.
Lees Ferry was the most crucial point in their monthslong journey. A bridge wasn't built until 1929.
Now, a group of prominent Arizonans is leading the bell monument campaign, calling it a fitting tribute to those settlers whose perseverance laid a foundation for the state's modern growth.
The idea for the monument started with Fred DuVal, a former Arizona gubernatorial candidate and a member of the Arizona Board of Regents.
DuVal said the bell has been in his family for decades. His stepfather, Jack Whiteman, acquired the bell after he and a group of Phoenix businessman bought the Lees Ferry property in 1964.
"The bell is now a powerful symbol of the migration story, and the hardships faced by the thousands who crossed the river in search of new lives," DuVal said, describing its nostalgia to members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
"I can't tell you how many Mormons I have met who tell of going to Lees Ferry as a kid to walk the trail and touch the calcified oxcart tracks."
The property was later sold to the National Park Service.
Today, the stretch of river known as Lees Ferry is popular for fishing and launching whitewater rafting trips down the Grand Canyon. It's located northwest of the Canyon, about nine miles south of the Utah border.
DuVal's family kept the bell, which he said was stored in his stepfather's backyard. They've offered to donate it to the state for the monument.
But the effort to construct a monument has faced obstacles.
Last spring, a bill to establish the Lees Ferry bell monument at the Wesley Bolin Memorial Plaza at the Arizona Capitol Mall was introduced with bipartisan support and sailed through the Arizona House of Representatives.
But the bill died in the state Senate without a final vote before the Legislature adjourned its session in early May.
DuVal said it was shelved as lawmakers focused on the #RedForEd teacher walkout that captivated the Legislature. Others said that infighting among bill sponsors could have been a factor.
Nevertheless, supporters say next year's legislative session could be their chance. They propose to fund construction entirely with private donations.
State Sen. Sylvia Allen, R-Snowflake, said she plans to reintroduce the monument bill when lawmakers return to work in January.
Like many Arizonans, the crossing at Lees Ferry factors prominently in Allen's family history. Her great-great-grandfather, Mormon explorer Jacob Hamblin, helped discover the crossing in the 1800s.
Another great-great-grandfather, Warren Reed Tenney, came on the ferry and brought the area's first steam-powered sawmill across, she said.
"I think we just owe a lot of gratitude to those who came before us," Allen said. "It's just amazing to me how strong and resilient these pioneer people were. They would take on anything."
Mormon pioneers began traveling from Utah to Arizona in the 1870s, as Young dispatched his followers to establish colonies throughout the West.
Before they came, the church leaders sent a controversial figure, John D. Lee, to create a ferry service at the relatively calm spot on the raging river.
Lee was essentially living in exile for his role in the Mountain Meadows Massacre, when he and other Mormons slaughtered 120 emigrants on their way to California.
At the river, he established what became known as Lees Ferry along with a few of his wives — he was a polygamist, as was common among Mormons in those days — around 1872 and ran it for a handful of years.
They built stone buildings and a nearby community that became known as Lonely Dell. They asked church leaders to send supplies, including a school bell and ferry cable.
DuVal said the bell hung on a wooden arch in the small community and, among several uses, was rung to summon ferry operators when a wagon train approached the river bank.
But Lee's role in the ferry operation was brief (and predated the bell's arrival): He was tried, convicted and executed in 1877 for his role in the massacre.
Still, his dark shadow could be an issue in the effort to create a monument. Supporters, however, said it's important to remember the story is about the migration of thousands of people.
"It's about a place, and not a person," said Kevin DeMenna, a prominent lobbyist who's helped lead the effort.
DeMenna said the monument would speak to the hardships migrants faced as they started new lives — a struggle relevant today as the United States and other countries wrestle with migration.
"This is effectively a metaphor for what's going on around the world," he added.
But the controversy around Lee's name isn't the only potential hurdle.
There's also the question of how the monument addresses the fact that the Mormon migrants came to an already-occupied land, where Native Americans had lived for thousands of years.
Occasionally, the Mormons and native inhabitants engaged in armed conflicts.
At least one state lawmaker, Sen. Juan Mendez, D-Tempe, voted against the monument last session because he said the plan didn't reflect the oppression brought by those pioneers.
"What we are passing doesn't do enough to cover the entire history of it," Mendez said earlier this spring, according to Arizona Sonora News.
But the effort — which passed 59-0 in the Arizona House before it died in the Senate — is likely to enjoy bipartisan support and previously had numerous Democratic sponsors.
The ferry's significance in Arizona history extends long past John D. Lee's death.
His wife, Emma, continued to run the ferry for a few years before selling it to the LDS church. It remained in operation for more than 50 years, before Navajo Bridge opened in 1929.
Many thousands of Mormon pioneers trekked to the state during those years. Other people used the crossing, too — miners, Native Americans, tourists and soldiers.
"It's hard to overestimate how important it was," said Cindy Stafford, an interpretive ranger for the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. "That was the only place you could get wagons across."
There's no shortage of Arizonans with family stories about the monumental crossing at Lees Ferry.
Among them is Maricopa County Supervisor Denny Barney, whose forefathers crossed the river with the Mesa Company in 1877, and played a key role in settling Mesa.
A painting depicting the crossing hangs in his office. It shows more than 100 cattle swimming across the river, led by a horse tied to a canoe. In the distance, a wagon train waits to cross on the ferry — one wagon at a time.
Barney provided The Republic with a family oral history and writings. One account includes his great-grandfather, Charles Innes Robson IV, recalling the story.
"It was an incredible undertaking," Robson wrote. "They swam all of the livestock across the river by driving them up stream then jumping them in so they could swim with the current to the opposite bank.
"Lee's (sic) Ferry seemed to be the point of no return. Now that they were across, there was no thinking of turning back."
Architect Greg Lambright, who designed the LDS Temple in Gilbert and was born in Page, has volunteered to design the moment. He said it will be shaped like the canyon at Lees Ferry, mimicking the area's vibrant vermilion cliffs.
He said visitors will walk through a short section of winding canyon walls before they can see the Lees Ferry bell, symbolizing the struggle of the pioneers' journey.
"When you walk up to the Grand Canyon for the first time, can you imagine how they felt?" Lambright asked. "'How are we going to cross this thing with all the provisions we have?'"
"It wasn't an easy journey to get here. They wanted to obey and find out what God had in store for them."
What was the Mormon Battalion?
What are those little gold trumpet players on top of all those temples?

A new AI CoE on the block: An answer to Indian enterprises' data dilemma?
Read on to know how NetApp's plans for Indian customers to navigate the world of AI to get a better idea of how they can leverage the value of data generated and deploy AI solutions.Vaishnavi J Desai | ETCIO | June 14, 2019, 13:08 IST
With digital transformation taking center stage in the organizations, enterprises are ever so keen on employing AI. To lead the way in the strategy for the technology and future proof the organization and customers, NetApp launched an AI CoE with NVIDIA. Anil Valluri, President, India & SAARC operations, NetApp talks about the need for a CoE at this stage in the business, creating a seamless data pipeline and making AI a reality for mid-sized enterprises.
Edited excerpts:
Why an AI CoE at this stage in the business?
Everybody is talking about AI and its adoption but in reality, Indian enterprises have not adopted AI in a comprehensive way. Skills, infrastructure and tools are still lacking to enable adoption of Artificial Intelligence in a phased manner. India still ranks at 19 in the AI readiness index.
The AI CoE jointly launched with NVIDIA will allow Indian customers to navigate the world of AI to get a better idea of how they can leverage the value of data which they are generating in vast amounts and deploy AI solutions to their advantage in a competitive environment. It will also enable them to experience first-hand the solutions and work with skilled engineers from both NetApp and NVIDIA.
We have invested in NVIDIA's DGX servers to provide the AI infrastructure required for organisations to truly enter the age of automation wherein software creates software which far exceeds the current capabilities of traditional software development life cycle.
According to an IDC report, 40% of digital transformation initiatives will be using AI in 2019 and 75% of enterprise infrastructure will employ AI by 2021. We are looking at the bigger picture in the foreseeable future and keeping ourselves - abreast with the industry developments.
What segment your new customers for AI solutions come from? Can you share specifically which verticals / size of the business?
We see huge potential from customers across government, education, healthcare and BFSI segment.
NetApp is making AI a reality for mid-sized enterprises. Why did you choose to focus on this segment?
India is on an aggressive digital transformation journey across sectors to capitalise on the demographic and talent dividend present in the country. To realise the true potential of the digital transformation wave, mid-sized enterprises along with start-ups and Government bodies need access to computing power to solve the problems of tomorrow.
The NVIDIA and NetApp ONTAP architecture is a step in this regard, which will enable enterprises to bring supercharged computing in the form of GPUs closer to large data-sets; thereby reducing the time to realisation on AI computing models for organisations from an average of three months to as little as one week.
With mid-sized enterprises, spending a large amount of capital is always a concern. The AI CoE is a cost-effective option for them to test their concepts with the help of NVIDIA's DGX workstations.
How do you plan to create a seamless data pipeline that spans from the edge to the core to the cloud, managing access from multiple data sources and formats?
As AI is all about data, the collaboration makes it easier for companies to deploy AI in an environment where the notion is taken into consideration that 'Data is not a monolith'. It is created in different places, is often moved and stored in multiple locations (edge, core, and cloud) while being utilized in another location. Data comes in many forms, structured and unstructured, quantitative or not as videos, images, blocks, and files.
By bringing IT and data science teams together, data and AI can interact seamlessly to fuel business innovation. The motive is to help organizations achieve "edge to core to cloud" control over their data by delivering unprecedented access and performance. This is the ultimate solution to enable not just AI, but a highly functional and efficient foundation.
Enterprises can fully realize the promise of AI and deep learning by simplifying, accelerating, and integrating their data pipeline with the NetApp ONTAP® AI proven architecture, powered by NVIDIA DGX supercomputers and NetApp cloud-connected all-flash storage. ONTAP AI leverages the NetApp Data Fabric to unify data management across the data pipeline. In the deep learning environment, one can rely on ONTAP AI to help troubleshoot and provide guidance with the help of its pre validated architecture. It accelerates AI deployment and detangles design complexity, assuring enterprises on innovation and productivity.
Why did you partner with NVIDIA for the CoE?
The AI CoE is a step further to our already existing partnership part of global NetApp and NVIDIA as part of our global engagement. As data sizes expand, so does the need for more computing power. This requires a data driven algorithm which will help companies get sharper insights into their data. In today's world AI needs unprecedented levels of compute power. NVIDIA's GPU helps accelerate new AI models which were previously not trainable. Accelerated deployment model and an architecture purpose-built to scale easily, organizations can spend more time driving insights and less time building infrastructure.
This partnership is focused on solving problems of today to help enterprises of tomorrow. Infrastructure is a big equation in the whole world of AI. The collaboration will extensively focus on infrastructure, computing and data pipeline required for deployment of AI solutions.
The CoE will allow organisations who currently use a hybrid infrastructure with disparate data sets and computing capability in the cloud to inject supercharged computational capability into their data centres bringing down the time to realisation across vast data sets.
While NVIDIA's GPU architecture will provide the infrastructure on which deep learning can be implemented, NetApp will provide the data fabric layout enabling customers and partners to scale out. To bring out the true value out of AI, solutions needs to be implemented on large data sets and they require data pipelines with deep learning capabilities. The CoE is an investment which will allow customers and partners to access technical capabilities, architectural skill, talents and partnering skills.

Zhang Zongyi -Shao Opera Performing Artist
Zhang Zongyi, born in Shaoxing, Zhejiang on March 16, 1924, is a six-year-old boy with stage name, and is a Shaoxing performance artist.
Wu Sheng, a professional worker, is famous for his role as Sun Wukong and is known as the "Southern Monkey King." " Journey to the West " plays the father of Liu Xiaoling . Zhang Zongyi was obsessed with social dramas when he was young, and stole teachers and learned arts while watching. However, after suffering injuries and "throwing his voice", Zhang Zongyi decided to transform and create the Shaoxi monkey show. He worshipped monkeys as a teacher and ended up in acting, and was praised by Chen Yi , Zhou Enlai, Mao Zedong and others. In 1987, "Zong Wukong Makes a Difference", edited, directed and starred by Zhang Zongyi, won the honorary prize of Zhejiang Province's third post-drama festival. He was a member of the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, and Eighth National Committees of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, the former Dean of Zhejiang Shaoxing Theater, a representative of the Third and Fourth National Cultural Congresses, and an expert on government special allowances of the State Council.
On January 31, 2014 (the first day of the first lunar month) Zhang Zongyi died of illness in Shaoxing, Zhejiang, at the age of 89.
Liu Lingtong was originally named Zhang Zongyi, born in Shaoxing, born in 1924. He is the father of Liu Xiaoling and plays the role of Sun Wukong in The Journey to the West.
Zhang Zongyi (six-year-old boy) started his career at the age of six and performed on stage at the age of twelve. He specializes in martial arts, and is particularly good at monkey opera. He has a good reputation in the opera industry. He is one of the representative figures of Shao opera, and he also created the Southern School of monkey life. The style has the reputation of "Southern Monkey King".
Zhang Zongyi's masterpieces include "Sun Wukong's Pingdingshan", "Sun Wukong's Three Hits of Bone Essence ", "Mountain of Fire", and "Sun Wukong's Hits of Qiankun". Among them, "Sun Wukong's Three Hits of Bone Essence " is the most famous. High praise was given to Mao Zedong and Guo Moruo who wrote poems for him. The "Golden Monkey rises to a great stick" written by Mao Zedong was distributed to 72 countries and regions, and it also had a great impact internationally.
According to media reports, before the illness, Zhang Zongyi "woke up every morning to get down and eat two buns for breakfast. He loves meat and also drinks Shaoxing old wine." Basically all Shaoxue Wusheng actors will still come to Zhang Zongyi for advice. In an interview in 2012, he was almost 90 years old and he played a few monkey shows from time to time, with clever eyes, making everyone laugh.
In addition to Zhang Zongyi and Zhang Jinlai (six young children), the "Monkey King Father and Son", the Zhang family is actually the monkey king family, and has four generations of monkey kings. Zhang Zongyi's grandfather Zhang Tingchun was a "living monkey chapter", and his father Zhang Yisheng was a "living monkey". He and his brother successively entered the stage at the age of 6 and 7 and became "six-year-old children" and "seven-year-old children." Zhang Zongyi had 11 children, and all of them played little monkeys. Among them, the second son " Little Six-year-old Child " played the rhesus monkey, which had been loved by Zhou Enlai, but died prematurely due to leukemia. Because of "Journey to the West", Zhang Jinlai's "six young children" is the youngest son of Zhang Zongyi.
The famous Shaoxing performance artist Liu Lingtong died in Shaoxing at 90:25 on January 31, 2014 at the age of 90.
Zhang Zongyi liked to watch social dramas when he was a child. Even if he took a boat to watch a drama that almost caused the death of the ship, it would not stop him. Because of the fascination of watching a theater, his studies gradually became deserted. When Zhang Zongyi became fascinated with the drama, his elder brother Zhang Zongxin 7-year-old boy has begun to star in the role of Lao Sheng in Shanghai Laozha Theatre, known as "Prodigy Lao Sheng". Because of his brother, Zhang Zongyi also wanted to perform on the stage like his brother. The family didn't want Zhang Zongyi to learn the drama, but in the end he could not beat him, so he took him to Shanghai.
After Zhang Zongyi arrived in Shanghai, he became a special audience at the Laozha Grand Theater. He always arrived first and left last. When watching a show, always stand on the edge of the stage. People and the stage are generally high, so watch carefully there. However, at the time, the status of the actor was low and he was a "drama". The old saying "the actor is meaningless" is a curse. Whenever there are other ways of living, children will not be allowed to learn drama. Because of this, Zhang Zongyi has almost no chance to take office.
But Zhang Zongxin and Zhang Zongyi are better. He very much hopes that there is a companion on the stage, so he continues to lobby his parents. In the end, Zhang Zongyi's parents agreed that Zhang Zongyi would play the role of " Little Overlord " in "The King Is Born". After "The King Was Born", Zhang Zongyi became a child star in Shaoxing's class.
When naming Zhang Zongyi, because Zhang Zongxin 's 7-year-old boy 's nickname (seven-year-old performing on stage) was already very loud, another brother came, and this was very new. A printing worker did not want to, and gave Zhang Zong the spot. Yi took the stage name of "Six-year-old boy".
Learn from one another
Since Zhang Zongyi was not invited by his family at home, he secretly found Wu Yuelou, the famous martial arts student in the theater, and wanted to learn from the teacher. However, because he was the child of the class leader, he did not dare to act rashly without the head nodding, otherwise he would not be able to explain in case of a broken arm and leg, so he did not dare to accept it.
However, Zhang Zongxin specially invited a Shandong martial arts master to teach martial arts, and Zhang Zongxin secretly asked Zhang Zongyi to learn together. Later Zhang Zongyi also made a lot of small ticket friends. The little fanciers often gathered to learn drama. During the discussion with the little fanciers, Zhang Zongyi also gradually learned the traditional opera such as the sword out of the sheath and the fly fork.
In the next six or seven years, Zhang Zongyi used his excellent performance to exchange the brand at the gate of Laozha Grand Theater— "Six-year-old boy" with only a few chances on the stage. A "culture and martial arts sing as two sides", the second side is the second ugly (a character with a higher identity than a clown but a worse character than a clown).
Monkey play Xiaocheng
There was an accident while playing "The Lion House", which caused a comminuted fracture. Not long after the injury, in 1940 Zhang Zongyi suddenly encountered a "lost voice" ("lost voice" refers to a drama actor's voice changing during adolescence). Although his throat was "down", Zhang Zongyi had his own idea: if you can't do what you want, you can fight. So Zhang Zongyi often watched Gai's performance called Father and Son. In addition to feasting on his eyes, Zhang Zongyi decided to play Sun Wukong and start a monkey drama in Shaoxing!
At that time, as part of the Peking Opera repertoire, the monkey drama Wukong opera was already familiar to a large audience. At the same time, the Northern and Southern factions with very different styles were formed. The representative of the North faction is Yang Xiaolou , and others include Hao Zhenji, Li Wanchun, Li Shaochun, etc. The representative of the Southern faction is Zheng Faxiang, Gai Jiaotian, and Zhang Yipeng. In addition to Peking Opera, he also watched many kinds of monkey plays such as Kun Opera, Nuo Opera and Shanghai Opera. Bringing together a hundred schools in this way to gain insights from others, he gradually got his own opinion on Sun Wukong.
In order to perform a good monkey show and practice the basic skills, Zhang Zongyi gradually learned the famous traditional martial arts such as "Night Run", "Flower Butterfly", "Fu Zidu", "Pick the Pulley", "War Horse Super " and " Zhou Yu Return to Heaven" Laid the foundation for his future monkey play.
When Zhang Zongyi asked his fans for their opinions after the first performance, the fans said, "Six-year-old boy's Sun Wukong is like a little wool monkey." So Zhang Zongyi soon raised a little monkey and lived with him all day long. Acting in this way, learning now, selling now, from "Monkey King Born", "Piaohai Xueyi" all the way to " Big Trouble in Heaven ", the more and more fierce, he played Sun Wukong finally became a family, with The title of "Southern Monkey King".
After liberation, after a series of literary and artistic reforms, the Tongchun stage also changed to Zhejiang Shaoxing Opera Troupe, and the address also moved from Shanghai to Zhejiang. Zhang Zongyi served as the head of Zhejiang Shaoxing Opera Troupe. They participated in various opera performances and won awards and honors.
In August 1956, Vice Premier Chen Yi accompanied Indonesian President Sukarno to watch "Sun Wukong Makes a Big Deal" starring Zhang Zongyi. Chen Yi watched the show and greatly appreciated it.
On December 17, 1957, Premier Zhou Enlai watched for the first time in the Sino-Soviet Friendship Building in Shanghai, "Sun Wukong's Havoc in Heaven". After reading, the Prime Minister met Zhang Zongyi and said that the foreign guests were very satisfied.
Cultural Revolution Experience
In 1966, the "Cultural Revolution" Zhang Zongyi was divided into capitalist, rightist, big drama, reactionary academic authority and counter-revolutionary revisionists. The Red Guards quarantined him and deprived him of his right to the stage. Zhang Zongyi suffered beatings, fights, and toured the streets. He was finally dispatched to the countryside to undergo labor reform. After the labor reform, he underwent supervision and reform at the regiment headquarters. The task was to load trucks and get out of the cooking room.
In the autumn of 1971, Mao Zedong visited South Hangzhou and instructed to end Zhang Zongyi's transformation. But they also gave him a hoop spell-in the theater can only pull the curtain as a prop. This tight curse was not officially lifted until the end of the Cultural Revolution.
In 1974, Zhejiang Shaoxing Opera Troupe went to the army to perform a sympathy. In the face of the cordial invitation of officers and soldiers of Zhoushan Army, Zhang Zongyi suffered from pleurisy and performed the martial arts of "White Water Beach" in Shaoxing. This is the first time he has appeared on the stage since the start of the Cultural Revolution at the age of 52. After re-entering the stage of the opera, Zhang Zongyi's most important repertoire was the Shaoxi monkey play "Flame Mountain" ("Three Borrowing Banana Fans"). This play was originally adapted and performed by Zhang Zongyi and his brother Zhang Zongxin. Beginning in 1979, the Zhejiang Shaoxing Opera Troupe, headed by Zhang Zongyi, put it back on the stage and won the first drama festival in Zhejiang Province in 1983. Outstanding Performance Award. Later, director of Shanghai Film Studio Yu Zhongying intended to bring this stage play to the screen, but it failed for various reasons in the end. This was a great regret for Zhang Zongyi's life.
On July 20, 2012, Qianjiang Evening News interviewed an elderly man, Zhang Zongyi, who was nearly ninety years old.
During the interview, the six-year-old played a few monkey plays from time to time, tickling and looking around, cheeks and noses twitched together when he was sad, his eyes lighted up when he was happy, and the sound of monkeys "giggle".
Six-year-old Tong introduced that when he was over, his body was not as good as before, and he worked hard in performing. Although he was 88 years old in 2012, he did not forget everything about the "monkey". Zhang Zongyi also hopes to set up a "Six-year-old Children's Art Museum" so that the spirit of the Monkey King family can be passed on. If given the opportunity, he would like to perform on stage again. Some people can't come down as soon as they come to power, but Zhang Zongyi knows he can act.

Law enforcement officials in San Bernardino and Los Angeles may have investigated Syed Farook one week before the shooting on the community development center on December 2, 2015, that left 14 dead and 17 injured, according to a review of police communications immediately following the attacks. Federal and local authorities have insisted that neither of the attackers had aroused suspicion before the assault earlier this month and that both Syed Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, were unknown to law enforcement and US intelligence. But conversations between law enforcement officials in the hours after the shootings leave a different impression. Farook is first identified by name at approximately 11:40am local time, just a half hour after the shooting began. The information came from a county worker, who noted that Farook had been acting nervous and left the holiday party twenty minutes before the shooting began.
