University administration announced several policy changes Tuesday afternoon, including a hiring freeze, salary freeze and senior leadership pay cuts, in response to significant financial losses in the academic and health departments amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Specific details of these changes were emailed to employees in a statement co-written by University President Jim Ryan, Provost Liz Magill, Chief Operating Officer J.J. Davis and Dr. K. Craig Kent, executive vice president for Health Affairs.
"The global economic and public health impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has the potential to have the most disruptive consequences of any downturn any of us has experienced in our lifetimes, reshaping how the University undertakes its missions of teaching, research, service, and patient care," the statement read.
As a result, the University's executive leadership team — including Ryan, Magill, Davis and Kent — will take a 10 percent salary reduction to help compensate for University financial losses. The statement also announced a salary freeze for all University employees through the 2021 fiscal year, meaning there will be no merit increases for employee salaries. According to the University's Coronavirus Updates website, employee compensation will remain stagnant for the next year.
"Due to current and expected financial conditions, all faculty, staff and team member salaries will be frozen at the current levels through at least June 30, 2021," the website read. "There will be a limited process for granting exceptions for retention, promotion and tenure managed by the Executive Vice Presidents."
The University has ensured that it will continue to cover tuition costs for low-income students whose families make less and $80,000 a year and tuition costs and fees for those whose families make less than $30,000 a year.
"One of our highest priorities is making U.Va. accessible and affordable for our students and we will continue to meet 100% of their financial need," states the University's Novel Coronavirus frequently asked questions page.
The University also announced a pause in hiring for all faculty, staff and team member positions. Departments with pre-approved faculty recruitment plans have been asked to meet with Magill and Kent to decide which positions are necessary exceptions to the hiring freeze.
Additionally, all capital projects have been suspended unless they are fully funded and already undergoing construction. All departments are asked to limit all non-essential expenses — such as services, supplies, technology and other costs that are not immediately necessary for operation. The initiation of any new programs is also suspended unless specifically approved by the Executive Vice President.
The statement released by the executive team noted decreases in tuition funding, state funding, clinical care, research grants, endowment returns and philanthropy that are expected to continue over the next few months.
"While the full costs are not yet known, they are large and will grow over the next few months, especially in the health system," the statement read. "At the same time, the economy and financial markets remain volatile, and there is a good chance of a sustained economic downturn."
The University's $9.6 billion endowment has raised questions over whether or not funds may be used to supplement financial losses. However, the endowment's restrictions prevent it from being applied to the University's current financial situation.
"First, it is made up overwhelmingly of gifts to the University for specific purposes, like funding professorships and scholarships," states the Novel Coronavirus updates page. "The University can't legally spend these restricted gifts on anything other than their intended purpose. Second, the gifts are required to be kept in the endowment in perpetuity, with only the interest earned on the gift available for use."
The Board of Visitors has set a 4.8 percent rate of use — which is equivalent to over $460 million per year — on the University's endowment that has been followed strictly for the past five years. During the 2018-2019 fiscal year, this money was spent on the Biocomplexity Institute, the Memorial to Enslaved Laborers and the Bicentennial Scholars Fund. Spending more than this rate would prevent the endowment from providing regular investment returns and violate previously determined restrictions on what purposes the money may be used for.
Plans for the University to resume on a regular operational schedule in fall of 2020 are still unknown. However, if needed, the statement expressed that the University is prepared to take on additional financial losses should the shut-down continue. A separate memo released to University leaders expressed hope for the University's future success.
"As further implications come into focus, we may need to take additional steps," the memo read. "The challenges ahead are daunting, but we are confident that if we act quickly and responsibly, and in accordance with our principles and strategic aspirations, our University — and the shared mission that gives us our collective purpose — will flourish."
Correction: A previous version of this article stated the announcement was made Thursday, and has been updated. Additionally, this article has been updated to accurately identify members of the University's executive leadership team.

Esri Malaysia launches COVID-19 GIS Hub website to collate official information from government authorities to stop misinformation and fake news.
The outbreak of the Coronavirus (2019-nCov), or COVID-19 which first hit China at the end of 2019 has resulted in what the World Health Organisation (WHO) has called a pandemic since 11 March. Fast spreading the world over, the number of infections and deaths as a result of it, have been on the increase. Despite this grave situation, there is still hope through the help of geospatial technology.
Leveraging on its location intelligence platform and pool of geospatial experts, Esri Malaysia Sdn. Bhd. launched a COVID-19 GIS hub which features maps and practical applications from authoritative sources that monitors the virus outbreak both globally and locally in real-time.
The initiative comes as part of Esri's larger Global Disaster Response program that support organisations such as WHO, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention in the United States and other similar authorities who monitor the spread of the virus and play a role in the preventive, surveillance and critical control measures.
"Maps have been instrumental in determining the mysteries behind the cause and spread of diseases such as cholera, yellow fever and Ebola – COVID-19 is no different," said C.S. Tan, Chief Executive Officer of Esri Malaysia said.
"During this time, the availability of authoritative data and information to all parties is crucial in responding to a pandemic. It's important for everyone to be on the same page when it comes to addressing such a large-scale emergency," he said.
Mr Tan explained that the COVID-19 GIS hub works as public health information tool that collates information from the relevant government agencies and visualises it on a dynamic web application.
Currently, the GIS Hub maps confirmed and active cases, deaths and recoveries to identify where COVID-19 infections have been recorded.
It also provides information on the spread of infections over time and where authorities can target interventions through time-enabled maps. The GIS hub can also map vulnerable populations. Since the virus impacts the elderly and those with underlying health conditions, mapping demographics through age, region social vulnerability and other facts can help too.
"Through this effort, we're hoping it will provide communities and local authorities with a clearer picture of the situation as it unfolds. Most importantly, it will support efforts to curb the spread of misinformation and fake news that is aggravating this public health crisis," Mr Tan said.
Mr Tan also highlighted the efforts of Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu's approach to pro-actively engage their constituents with the State's very own COVID-19 Hub.
"Through these efforts, we can empower citizens to make well-informed decisions on how they can keep themselves safe and prevent local transmission of the virus," he said.
As part of the company's corporate citizenship, Mr Tan said Esri Malaysia has a dedicated team of geospatial experts on standby to pro-actively update information on the GIS Hub.

Township Memories
I grew up in Olive Green, which is the biggest town in Porter Township. My great uncle Fred McKay was the township clerk for many years. According to him and the records I viewed, Olive Green was surveyed in1803. While the surveyors were doing their work a young girl rode to them on horseback. She was on, what is called, Plantation Road. They asked her her name and she said "Olive Green." So they named the town Olive Green.
Olive Green in the 1940's had 2 grocery stories and a feed mill. At various times there was an automotive garage and in the early 40' s another gas station.
Farmers around the area were largely sustenance farmers; they usually had 160 acres or so and had a small dairy herd, 50 to 100 chickens, sometimes some hogs, and hay fields as well as grain fields. It was general, not specialty farming on a very small scale. The main cash source was selling the milk to a local creamery.
Olive Green was where they did their shopping and had their grains ground for cow feed.
In the fall of the year the Olive Green Street Festival was held. Store owners, Frank Roberts and Gerald Crowl, and the manager of the feed mill hosted the festival. Walter Phillips was the owner of the feed mill for some time. There was a game played called "Chuck a Luck." It was played with bingo cards and kernels of corn. Usually Francis Ulery was the announcer for the game. He had a cage-like affair with a crank on it. There were several dice in the cage. As I recall, he'd crank it a couple of times and call out some numbers. When some player had completed a row or column, there was a minor prize. Since it was late fall, there was cider,-pumpkins, and other produce displayed.-A-small band-would play as they sat on a hay wagon. The fiddler was a man with the last name of Bennett. He was from Marengo, Ohio. My grandfather, Frank McKay, called him by his nickname which was Toad Bennett. A woman with a usually severe expression played the piano. They would have square dances and, as a small boy, I enjoyed watching the steam from the people's breaths as they danced and spoke to each other.
The most important point of this account is that there was a sense of community and many times neighbors would help one another. There were.times when a farmer was disabled by accident or illness and other neighboring farmers would.help him with the cows or harvesting crops.
An important historical feature of Olive Green and East Liberty was that prior to the Civil War slaves fled from their masters and were kindly treated via what was called The Underground Railroad. Time and time again I had elderly men point out to me a house in East Liberty that was a primary station in The Underground Roilrocd. Also in East Liberty was a Reverend Brown who helped with this movement. His daughter, Stella, married the local store keeper, Clayton VanSickle, in East Liberty. He and his wife Stella were my great grandparents. Stella was also known by the name Estella. They were staunch abolitionists.

I can't say enough about this service. Our 6 month old puppy got out. The site contacted local shelters and vets for our convenience (I followed up with our regular vet and they indeed were faxed our dogs info). The lost dog flyer that was created for us was what brought her home. We printed them out and posted them in our neighborhood. As soon as we got home from hanging them we got 3 tips which allowed us to narrow down the streets where she was last seen and because of that we were able to find her. I can't say enough about lostmydoggie.com for providing the free services we used and bringing our sweet girl home to us!

My puppie, 7 month old Mackenzie, a sweet, adorable cream colored Golden Doodle, was returned to me within 24 hours of registering with LostMyDoggie.com. The woman who found her was at a veterinarian clinic the next morning to find out if she was registered with a chip, which she was. As the woman was standing at the clinic, a fax came into the veterinarian's office with Mackenzie's photo & chip information. She was a match. It was a miracle she was returned to me.

With the first day of spring just around the corner, the Vaqueros bats have gone into hibernation.
The men have struggled to put runs on the board this past week, being out scored 18- 4 in their last three games.
The Vaqs managed only one run in Saturday's away game versus Hancock College, extending the team's losing streak to six straight.
The road does not get any easier this upcoming week as they play conference leading Cuesta and rival Oxnard.
Coach Teddy Warrecker is confident that the offense can get going by "instilling more aggressive attitude at the plate." City College has just passed the mid-point of the season, and still has a lot of baseball to play.
"The great thing about sports is that it can turn around at any time," Warrecker said.
The Vaqueros next home game is at 1 p.m. Saturday March 21, as they play host to Oxnard at Pershing Park.

"Inhabit the Future: a Series". It is the title of a series of monthly conversations in which the directors of AD, Vanity Fair and Fashion Italia will each time host a protagonist of the world of design. Theme: the way in which the Covid-19 emergency, by creating a new and closer relationship between people and their home, has given new centrality to the values of living, and changed the way we think about the home environment and working.AD and Vanity Fair meet
The initiative underlines the closeness of the Condé Nast brands to this founding industry of Made in Italy, especially at a time when, after the forced blackout, companies need the visibility and storytelling that even a strong editorial partner can guarantee. It starts, not surprisingly, with Claudio Luti, who heads a company like Kartell but who above all, as president of the Salone del Mobile, is the voice of the whole industry. His conversation with Luca Dini, Emanuele Farneti and Simone Marchetti, respectively directors of AD, Fashion Italia and Vanity Fair, takes place on Thursday 28 May at 12 noon in a direct video that will be broadcast live on the Facebook pages and YouTube channels of all three brands.
«The proximity to the Salone and its companies, which is physiological for a magazine like AD», says Luca Dini – CEO of AD, «Has strengthened considerably in this time of difficulty. Starting from April, in what would normally have been our "Salone number", we dedicated a special to Italian-made design entrepreneurs, starting with Lombard companies and then moving on to the big names in the rest of the May issue. Country. And starting from June, in the issue that would accompany the postponed edition of the event, we show readers and users the news that the companies would present at the Salone, with a cover titled #ADLovesSalone. That is, the hashtag of the joint editorial project in which the 10 CEOs of the world, for the first time together in the centenary history of the editorial brand, share editorial content and put their platforms and their audience at the service of the institution that represents the best of the Made in Italy design ».
"In addition to becoming the symbol of the city, the Salone del Mobile has also been an essential moment of encounter between the world of design and that of fashion in recent years: all the most important Italian and international fashion houses have participated in bringing ideas, as well as significant investments. ", says Emanuele Farneti – Director of Fashion Italia, «And also Fashion Italia, with its Life in Fashion project, has played a leading role in the last two editions. In a moment of radical rethinking (also) of the fashion system, this conversation will be an important moment to discuss the role that the Salone, and Milan with it, will have in the international creative panorama ».
"Culture, inclusion, sustainability, protection of craftsmanship: the Salone del Mobile and the design chain remain the most important stage to make these values even more real and programmatic. The virus emergency did not stop this process, it only made it faster and more necessary. Our task, as a system, will be to actively contribute to change. Without ifs and buts." says Simone Marchetti – Director of Vanity Fair.
AD, Vanity Fair and Fashion Italia consolidate their presence on the web with their sites and social platforms with a total of fan followers equal to 10.8 MIO and over 13.7 MIO of users.

Montgomery, AL – Rollover Injury Accident on North Blvd
Montgomery, AL (February 06, 2021) – Local law enforcement officers responded to calls concerning a major car accident involving an overturned vehicle on Saturday, February 6th in Montgomery.
Reports show that the collision took place at about 3:40 p.m. on North Boulevard near Jackson Ferry Road State.
At least one of the people involved sustained serious injuries.
The names and current medical statuses of the injured have not yet been revealed.
This accident is under investigation by local law enforcement.
Our thoughts are with the injured victims and their families at this time. We hope for their full recovery.
Car Accidents in Montgomery
Injury collision data for Alabama in 2018 indicates that roughly two serious car crashes occur every five minutes with some extent of injury taking place once every 11 minutes. More than half of the vehicular fatalities that happened throughout the state during that year were vehicle occupants who were not wearing their seat belts.
Tens of thousands of people are hospitalized each year in our state for debilitating injuries like broken bones, spinal cord injuries, neck injuries, and traumatic brain injuries. In many cases, victims require emergency medical assistance and have to spend weeks in area hospitals to recover. After being released from hospitals, victims have to continue going to therapy for months.
Even though we would like to believe that every person is able to recover from their injuries, thousands of people sustain injuries that leave them permanently disabled. The mental, physical, and financial consequences of accidents are often overwhelming for victims and their families.

SGS is pleased to announce approval by The Detox Project for its laboratories across three continents to offer testing for their Glyphosate Residue Free certification program.
This approval comes at a time of increasing global demand for glyphosate testing and aims to make it easier for farmers, suppliers and manufacturers around the globe to access testing services against The Detox Project's standard.
SGS's state-of-the-art, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories in Germany (Berlin), Turkey (Istanbul), Portugal (Lisbon), Ukraine (Odessa), USA (Brookings/SD), Canada (Vancouver), India (Chennai), South Korea (Uiwang) and Vietnam (Ho Chi Minh) are now approved to provide testing against The Detox Project's standard; with laboratories in Asia (Colombo and Taipei) and South America (Lima) expected to secure approval soon.
Glyphosate Residue Free certification verifies that ingredients or final food and supplement products do not contain the world's most used herbicide, down to the European Union's default Maximum Residue Limit for pesticides of 0.01 mg/kg (10 ppb).
Henry Rowlands, Director of The Detox Project, stated: "We welcome SGS on board as an approved testing provider. At a time of increasing global demand for glyphosate testing we want to support farmers, ingredient suppliers and brands around the world to gain Glyphosate Residue Free certification, especially in locations where it is currently difficult to find testing services accredited against our standard."
Glyphosate is the most used herbicide in the world; its use has increased sharply over the last two decades with the introduction of GMO crops and pre-harvest spraying (desiccation) on some conventional crops. However, the World Health Organization's International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified glyphosate as "probably carcinogenic to humans" and linked it to Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, whilst the California Environmental Protection Agency has added glyphosate to the Prop 65 list of carcinogenic chemicals. A growing number of countries are banning its use.
Anna Theil-Gangl, SGS Vice-President for Global Food Compliance & Analytics, said: "Through our worldwide network of laboratories, our skilled technicians are best placed to develop and deliver the highest standards of food testing and certification services. The Detox Project is working hard to protect consumers by encouraging transparency in the food and supplement industries about toxic chemicals and we look forward to supporting them in their ambitions."

The design and energy efficiency analysis of the building meets the principles of the standard "Passivhaus"
The article describes the basic ideas that meet the concept of energy efficiency standard "Passivhaus". The main task was to design and analysis of low-rise residential building using Autodesk Revit Energy Analysis and Green Building Studio software. The main criteria for comparison: energy use intensity, CO2 emission level, the use of non-renewable energy sources, the potential use of alternative energy sources. This objective was realized through the following tasks: 1. Authors described various architectural-planning, spatial solutions and made the analysis of their impact on the energy consumption of the building. 2. The most rational building envelopes were selected. 3. The rational scheme of natural ventilation and heating, as well as using renewable sources of energy were considered. 4. Authors analyzed the building's heat consumption and compared to the result with the standard "Passivhaus". As a result of the design, authors received indicators of energy use intensity corresponding to the standard of "Passivhaus" which can be improved through more detailed design and the use of special equipment.

Somali pirates want $15 million in ransom money for the Sirius Star, a Saudi tanker carrying $100 million worth of crude oil that they took earlier this month. This morning, there's news that a Yemeni cargo freighter has been captured. That brings the total of ships now being held by pirates to seventeen. There've been more than 200 incidents this year, with a doubling of attacks off the Somali coast. That's bad news for a world in which eighty percent of international goods travel by sea. Why has the coast of east Africa became such a dangerous place for shipping? What has caused the resurgence in piracy on the world's oceans? Who are the pirates targeting? Why can't they be stopped? How is the international community responding to the problem?

Bingo is a game based on chance, which is considered to be a fun, social, and low-cost game that can be enjoyed by a large number of players. Originally bingo was a game played in a physical setting, with a bingo ball machine, but as time progressed, playing bingo online became the new norm.
Variations of bingo can be found in many other games. A lot of the time, these games are played because they have the aspect of gambling in them. For example, slot games are now a game that people play while in casinos. However, even slot games have their own online variation, such as the starburst slot.
Types of Bingo Games
There are several different types of online bingo options. The game can differ from site to site. The network site that the bingo website belongs to can also be the reason why the online bingo that you play may differ from the others. But the most common types of games available are:
- 30 ball bingo
- 75 ball bingo
- 80 ball bingo
- 90 ball bingo
Nearly every bingo site has the same rules, but the name of the games, as well as their themes, may defer from each other.
This bingo game is fast-paced and features a grid of 3×3, which has nine numbers on it. The aim of this game is to be the first one to mark all of the nine numbers. Only the first prize winner gets something in this game.
75 Ball Bingo
The 75-ball bingo is known as the pattern bingo. This game of bingo features a grid of 5×5 and contains numbers that range from 1 to 75. There is sometimes a game offer known as coverall game, but usually, the person who is able to mark off the pattern before anyone else wins. The patterns can be marked horizontally, vertically, or even diagonally.
80 Ball Bingo
This 80-ball bingo game is known as the coverall bingo. You will be given a grid of 4×4, and the numbers will range from 1 to 80. The first person who is able to mark off 16 numbers will be the winner. There will only one winner in this game.
90 Ball Bingo
The 90-ball bingo game is known as the traditional game. The game is played on a grid of 9×3, and the numbers available on the grid will be up to 15, ranging from 1 to 90. Normally there are up to three prizes available for this game, two lines and then a full house.
The prizes will increase as the game goes on. The two-line prizes are any line of the grid unless some other rule is stated. Someone is considered a full house winner once they have off all the 15 numbers on the grid.
Bingo is a fun game enjoyed by the youth and adults. While cartoons have given the young generation the false idea of bingo only being played by old people, online exposure to it has allowed a more diverse group of people to become a part of it.

UFC Fight Night 14 won't be the only free mixed martial arts action available for free on July 19.
The UFC struck a hard blow to Affliction MMA in the battle over who can get more viewers on July 19 when the promotion announced its surprise plans to air a free "Ultimate Fight Night" in almost two weeks that will feature perhaps the best pound for pound fighters in the world, Anderson Silva.
Affliction MMA, which is rolling the dice and possibly letting the entire future of its young organization ride on the success of its inaugural event, today reaffirmed that several fights would air on Fox Sports Net in the United States and on The Fight Network in Canada prior to the pay-per-view (PPV) telecast on July 19.
Clearly, the upstart promotion needs to pull in as many PPV buys as possible, and having Anderson Silva fighting for free on another organization's event at the same time could be disastrous.
This will be the first time ever that an event will start its broadcast on a basic cable channel and move immediately to PPV. The hour-long basic cable portion of the event will begin at 8 p.m. ET (5 p.m. PT).
Here's a quote from Executive Vice President of Programming and Production for FSN, George Greenburg, on the news:
"FSN has long been at the forefront of televised Mixed Martial Arts action. Our viewers are loyal, informed and passionate about the sport. This is a great opportunity to deliver a major MMA event to them featuring world-class fighters."
As of right now, Affliction is guaranteeing two fights for FSN and The Fight Network.
In particular, the main event for the free broadcast will feature the U.S. debut of Aleksander Emelianenko (13-3) -- the younger brother of the man who many believe to be the best pound for pound fighter in the world, Fedor Emelianenko. He will take on Paul Buentello (23-10) in what looks to be a good old fashioned, heavyweight slugfest. Prior to that, there will be a light heavyweight bout featured that pits Vitor Belfort (16-8) against the hard-hitting Terry Martin (16-4).
Not a bad couple of fights for free to lead into what looks to be a great PPV.
Time will tell if this will have any affect on the UFC's ability to pull viewers away from purchasing Affliction's show ($39.95), but it certainly adds more options for fans to an already full plate of mixed martial arts action on July 19.
Get those DVRs ready boys and girls.

Italy on Monday adopted a new package of economic measures including the strengthening of anti-takeover rules, and public guarantees for €400 billion-worth of loans and investments to help business.
"With the decree we just approved, we give immediate liquidity for €400 billion to our businesses, whether they are small, medium or big," Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said in a press conference Monday evening.
Rome will guarantee up to 90 percent of loans to businesses for €200 billion via the public owned export credit agency SACE, Finance Minister Roberto Gualtieri explained. An additional €200 billion have been earmarked to guarantee investments to support exports.
Companies benefitting from state guaranteed loans won't be allowed to distribute dividends to shareholders, the minister added.
Gualtieri said the new guarantee system would become operational "in the coming days."
The decree also extends the scope of existing investment screening tools to protect strategic companies from foreign takeovers.
The power to monitor foreign takeovers will be extended to sectors including banking, insurance, energy, transport, water, health, food safety, artificial intelligence and robotics, Conte said.
Last week, the European Commission encouraged member countries to strengthen domestic investment screening tools.
The decree also delays several tax deadlines which expired in April and May.

Meet the metaversers: Sonya Seddarasan
Sonya Seddarasan used her background in art and design in order to create the daring and creative new tech venture, UPWorlds. A portfolio marketplace for web3 and metaverse creators, UPWorlds was created by Sonya and her co-founder Jai in 2020. We chat to Sonya about the benefits of unique metaverse tech, why she never saw a traditional career in her future, and exactly how she sees the future of UPWorlds panning out.
Tell us about your work with UPWorlds.
UPWorlds is a portfolio marketplace for virtual worlds and metaverse creators. I launched it in early 2020 after doing a series of workshops on UX 3D virtual world through Patreon back in 2019. The idea for UPWorlds came from the many people I met during a session on how underprivileged creators are in the web3 space, and how there was no dedicated space for the creators to showcase themselves and their creations in this new-found industry. Based on these pain points, me and my co-founder Jai started building the product. Today, UPWorlds is an infant product, made by creators for creators (we call them builders), to be able to showcase themselves in this space.
What has been the most rewarding part of founding UPWorlds?
Definitely community building and seeing builders grow from newbie builders to professional builders to eventually being able to kick start creators' economies based on their credibility. I love meeting different people and talking about the new things in the industry, but mostly I love diving into different virtual worlds with these builders. Back in the day, a doctor could only be a doctor but today's dynamic world, our builders come from a range of backgrounds. They are doctors, designers, architects, IT workers and pianists. There's an unconventional thing that is happening here and passionate people are making groundbreaking worlds every day. It excites me every time they walk me through their thought process.
How would you like to see the company grow in the future?
With more people on the server every day, we hear more about people's needs and we try to match those up with forthcoming industry trends. Currently, we are building UPWorlds 2.0 to meet some of those needs. One of our plans is to create an ecosystem for our early users to build the platform with us through the power of blockchain. Just like how UPWorlds started, I believe people with the same mission have great ideas when put together. Now is a good time to join us as users and commission builders to take advantage of what we are building early on. The other thing that excites us is using peer-to-peer power to support builders to build each other's credibility and the creator's economy. This is something we learn as we go, but we truly believe that social currency is one of the most powerful currencies today and we really would like to be able to integrate it into the product experience.
What was your career experience before UPWorlds?
I graduated with a degree in Art and Design in 2012. Art and design have always been close to my heart since I was a child. I wanted to fight what's seen as the stereotypical career route for people from an Indian background, which often involves becoming a doctor or an engineer. When the tech period started, I grew my career from being an HCI designer to working in product design, working with various startup industries from smart cities, in fin-tech and marketplaces. Marketplaces have always been an exciting business model to me, but as a designer there were many business sides of it that I did not understand and wanted to learn about. Being an entrepreneur has always been my dream, so I took an extra course from Harvard on Disruptive Innovation and a Master's Degree in Virtual Reality from IED Barcelona.
Do you have a personal career highlight?
I've had lots of career highlights! Each of the products I have worked on is like a baby to me and I continuously nurture them until I have to move on to different products. Everything that I do with UPWorlds is trial and error for me. I learn as I build them together with my co-founders and community. It can be very tough, but I'm learning to appreciate that trial and error is part of my strength.
What does the average day look like for you?
Being online for almost 18 hours in UPWorlds Discord would be an accurate expression of what my day-to-day looks like. You can find me within those hours in Discord – talking to builders, on-boarding builders, doing sprint planning with designers, researching for product needs, and talking to different communities for collaborations. That's as well as exploring virtual worlds with builders and being their consultant to help deliver better worlds. We are a small team of a couple of people, and most of the work is being shared by everyone together.
What's the one piece of career advice you'd give to your younger self?
No matter how difficult things get, always invent your way out of that box! Remember, that's what makes you you. I grew up in an environment where I never fit in and it was very easy to second guess myself. But when I follow my heart, the goal is to live life by design, not by default.

Danny Lyon was born in Brooklyn in March 1942 and was brought up in Kew Gardens, Queens. He studied history and philosophy at the University of Chicago where he graduated in 1963. That year he published his first photographs working for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee where they appeared in The Movement, a book about the Southern Civil Rights Movement.
During the 1970s, he contributed to DOCUMERICA a project sponsored by the United States Environmental Protection Agency to "photographically document subjects of environmental concern" in the USA from about 1972 to 1977. Many of the photographs, including those of Lyon's, are the only distinct visual record of the time and place.

The slideshow includes the 16 trending Pantone colors for Spring 2018, including the color of the year: Ultra Violet. This season we saw a combination of brights, pastels, neutrals, and deep hues; the runway was highly eclectic and experimental, which is quite exciting for outfit creations for spring and summer. Take a closer look at the Coconut Milk swatch below and how this trending color can be transformed from the runway to the streets.
Coconut Milk
Coconut Milk resembles a milky white, as the name suggests, and is one of the trending neutrals in the Spring and Summer 2018 Pantone collection. Since it is a neutral, it complements every color from the collection and can be used as the grounding color in an outfit. It also pairs well with denim for a fail-proof summer look. For a sophisticated look, try a monochromatic outfit using this flattering color.

Guest opinion
"Why are you still torturing yourself?" a friend asked on Friday, April 23. I'd confessed that I'd listened to the legislative assembly again. I've been listening from "away" whenever I can manage because I care about what happens to and on the Island.
To be clear: I may not know as much as people who went to school to study housing specifically and who've worked that specialization their whole careers. Nonetheless, I hope the generalist thoughts that follow – about the recent community-led effort at creating a rental registry, the shortage of housing that's been acknowledged since 2017, and the notion of inclusionary "zoning" as a panacea of sorts – help other people articulate theirs.
My Old Apartment
When you're a lifelong renter for ethical reasons, and you've lived without experiencing a rent increase for seven years on Prince Edward Island, including through a housing crisis, you know your landlord like most Islanders know the people they've grown up around their whole lives. The person from whom I rented my apartment changed the blinds to colours I liked without charging me anything; considered the effect that a rent increase would have on me when I left my job; and never failed to address the tiniest discomforts I'd experienced in my Island home as soon as I hesitantly voiced them.
I'm not the only person who'll choose being a decent human being to someone who's been kind to me when asking myself where my priorities lie and it's not right that rent increases be monitored at the expense of personal relationships. I don't know what the route to an effective rental registry is, but I have a sense it's can't just be by pitting renters against owners in a close-knit community.
The housing shortage
Across North America and for a few years now, generalist and specialist land use planners have been trying to explain to (mostly municipal) elected officials that housing markets will continue to be distorted and housing supply will continue to be inadequate as long as the maps in legally-binding planning documents (official plans and their implementing bylaws on the Island) outlaw anything but single-detached residences in many parts of most places where it's safe for development to occur because piped infrastructure and transportation networks already exist. Unless the words in these documents and the maps that reflect them start saying that other forms of housing – like tiny homes, apartments and row houses – can also be built de-facto in all the parts of a place that people think are nice and like to live in, it's fallacy to think that the "market" can meet demand. The rules block it.
The path to a market that can possibly support shifting housing needs is to open them up. Not through a change each time an exception is sought. Not by elected officials deciding if they'd like to grant that concession or not. In a bigger way: by changing the bits that say "only this is allowed" to saying that "all these are allowed". I don't know who is trying to explain this to whom on Prince Edward Island, given that Charlottetown, Summerside, Stratford and Three Rivers are the only municipalities that (last I knew) have planners on staff. I assume those people might be spread a bit thin, but we don't do group hugs or anything even outside of pandemics so that's just a guess.
Inclusionary zoning/"housing"
Bit of a misnomer. It's a somewhat novel experiment in Canada, the success of which hinges on a delicate and dedicated management regime for relationships and processes. In other words, it's about being able to do the math that developers do and consequently coming up with the proportions and/or numbers of residential units that should be offered at market rates and affordable rates at a point in time. It's about doing this while knowing (and often talking to developers about) how much money developers will continue to make in a regulatory regime of legal requirements for them to include affordable units in development of specific types and/or scales in any particular location. It doesn't work unless there's an accurate understanding of "affordability" and clear methods (read: written down) through which it's determined for the location in which the inclusion is intended. There's plenty of room for mismanagement too. And unless there's room to build the different forms of housing that there's need for and math around how much of which, inclusionary housing isn't likely to solve much.

I graduated from the Master of Arts in Island Studies program at UPEI in 2020 and the Master of Urban and Regional Planning program (M.Pl.) at Queen's University in 2008. I lived in Charlottetown till March 2021

New Improved D'Addario Helicore Bass Strings are now available for all three Types of Play, Arco, Pizzicato, and Hybrid. Orchestra players, jazz pros, students, and their teachers like the even tone across all four strings, as well as the easy 'start' that are the hallmarks of Helicore Bass.
Helicore Arco has been reformulated to have a richer, more complex tone. A bit of added mass creates more volume and makes the string more lively for larger orchestra basses. Overall the tone is more robust and more complex. Arco comes in three gauges, Light, Medium, and Heavy. Color wrap in the tailpiece is blue silk with a golden spiral.
Helicore Light Gauge Bass Strings are suitable for lighter weight double basses with more delicate top plates that just do not need higher tension strings. They're also a good choice for players with hands that are just not as strong. A solid gold band at the end of the color silk denotes Light Tension.

Quality ammunition determines smooth loading and shooting experiences, and when you are handling a revolver that has the capacity of a Taurus Judge, you definitely want the best. This handgun option is a powerful choice and is popular as a protective trail gun, and in some cases, as a self-defense carry choice.
With the ability to chamber both a .45 Colt and .410 shotshell, this is a fun option for quite a few shooting experiences. Take a look at our ammunition selection for this unique weapon to explore all its capabilities.
Table of Contents
Here's A Quick Look of Our 6 Best .410 and .45 Ammos For Taurus Judge
Best .410 Shotshell Picks
- Remington – STS 410 Bore 2-1/2″ Ammo
- Winchester – Super X High Brass 410 Gauge Ammo
- Federal – Premium Personal Defense Ammo 410 Bore 2-1/2″ #000 Shot
Best .45 Colt Picks
- Hornady – Critical Defense Ammo 45 Long Colt 185GR FTX
- Winchester – Silvertip Ammo 45 Long Colt 225GR HP
- Remington – High Terminal Performance Ammo 45 Long Colt 230GR JHP
The Taurus Judge Series
The Judge revolver was designed with close range, novel self-defense design in mind. It was originally called the 4510, but acquired the new name after rumors painted a picture of Miami county judges carrying them as protection in the courtroom. Whether that is true or not, the story provided an excellent marketing opportunity, and the revolver has become a popular choice for a variety of reasons.
Available in 3 and 6 inch barrel lengths, it is bored at a 2.5 cylinder length to handle 5 rounds of a .45 Colt or .410 shotshell. There is also a model designed with a 6.5 inch field barrel and bored at 3 inches to handle the .410-bore shotgun shell.
Despite the fact it can handle a shotgun load, it is not considered a short-barreled shotgun under the National Firearms Act due to the rifling in the barrel. This compromise helps keep the payload from spreading out to the point they are worthless. This rifling is defined by 6 shallow grooves and a 1:12-inch twist.
Although designed with self-defense in mind, there are a lot better choices for that particular need- especially when conceal carrying. However, that doesn't mean they aren't effective for that purpose if you choose to carry in such a manner. Just be aware for a CCW the .45 cal is the highest revolver option you can qualify with and concealing with a .410 chambered will be illegal (although not for open carry).
What the gun has become popular with is the protective ability it provides as a trail gun, and for fun shooting opportunities. Loaded with a shotshell it is great for shooting snakes, clay pigeons, popping balloon targets, or really anything else you might zero in on with a traditional shotgun. Loaded with a .45, it can take down small game with no problem, and make something threatening, such as a bear, take pause.
.45 Colt vs .410 Shotshell
What truly makes the Judge such a novel revolver is its ammunition capabilities. A .45 Colt caliber load is heavy, dependable, and provides a more powerful and higher velocity shot for both close range and longer target acquisition. It comes in various weight options to meet the velocity and energy needs of your target.
But what makes the Judge as popular as it is surrounds the .410 load options. These are low pressure loading for close range targets, and as mentioned can ruin a snake's day with no problem. Up close, you can do a human quite a bit or damage as well, but the pressure is such to provide a peppering of penetration that may not be much deeper than a few inches.
Shotgun shells are either filled with birdshot as a 2.5 inch size with various weights, or most buckshot as a 3 inch shell. Most Taurus Judges handle a variety of 2.5 inch shells, but as mentioned, the 6.5 inch barrel model does have 3 inch shell capabilities.
.45 Colt Particulars
The weight of your .45 Colt load will determine the velocity and energy of your round. In a 2.5 inch shell the heavier the load the slower the velocity, but the more energy it lends to the shot.
These plain lead bullets with no casings. They are slow and not very powerful, but they are excellent for training and practice.
Jacketed Hollow Point (JHP)
Lead with hollow points expand upon impact, making them great for self-defense.
Full Metal Jacket (FMJ)
Popular and very common, these are lead bullets with a copper or hard metal jacket. Great for training and target practice, they also are great for day to day carrying.
Open Tip Match (OTM)
These are highly accurate and consistent. They are similar to a hollow point but are specifically for target and competition shooting.
Ballistic Tips
Ballistic tips have amazing stopping power and are excellent for distance accuracy.
Bonded Ammunition
Great for self-defense, these rounds have a bonded jacket to the core. Great for self-defense, they are not great for target practice due to their higher price point.
.410 Shotshell Particulars
As mentioned, the majority of the .410 is a 2.5 inch birdshot. Birdshot comes in various sizes, but each shell more or less contains a half ounce of shot. A #6 shot, for example, is smaller than a #9 despite them weighing the same. A #6 might be good for dove hunting, while a #9 may be a choice for skeet shooting. They also will have various scatter patterns, although the length of the Judge will keep them in closer proximity than if you fired them out of a larger barrel.
For the Judge, you may want to stick to the #6 to #8 range if you are shooting a 2.5 inch shell.
On that note, #00 and #000 weight options are available in a 2.5 inch shell. These are defined by 3 or 4 larger pellet loads and are considered the best close range defense option.
Top 6 of the .410 and .45 Ammo For Taurus Judge Reviews
There is a lot of ammo available for the Judge models, and you can definitely pick and choose from a wide variety of weights and sizes to determine which is your favorite for various shooting scenarios. We've provided some top picks based on dependable brand manufacturing and load popularity.
Best .410 Shotshell Picks
The .410 shell capabilities is truly what puts this revolver on the map. It is a great defensive, if not necessarily lethal round, and is seriously fun to shoot.
1. Remington – STS 410 Bore 2-1/2″ Ammo
- Weight: #8.5 shot size, ½ ounce
- Rounds: 25
The Remington STS .410 Bore has ½ ounce of #8.5 birdshot to provide an excellent close range target scatter pattern. It provides a muzzle velocity of 1200 feet per second and is excellent for trail protection as well. Designed as a target load for consistent shooting of skeet and similar type practice opportunities, it provides unmatched reloading ease and hull longevity.
Best .410 Target Loads
When you want to have some serious fun with your Judge model, this is a great round to play with. Affordable and fun, you can have a great time exploring what it can do.
2. Winchester – Super X High Brass 410 Gauge Ammo
- Weight: #8.5 shot size, ½ ounce
- Rounds: 25
Available in both the 2.5 inch and 3 inch shell, they take advantage of both ½ ounces of #6 shot, or 11/16th of #7.5 shot respectively. Winchester is a leading manufacturer of dependable ammo, and these two options are no exception. Great for target shooting, small game, and basic protection as well.
Best .410 Target Loads
Great for target shooting, it also is a bit heavier overall for basic protection purposes. It might not stop large threats, but can do some damage, and will definitely take care of snakes, rodents, and birds without issue.
3. Federal – Premium Personal Defense Ammo 410 Bore 2-1/2″ #000 Shot
- Weight: #6 shot size, ½ ounce; #7.5 shot size, 11/16th ounce
- Rounds: 25
This #000 shot includes a 4 pellet payload that provides an 850 feet per second velocity for incredibly disruptive close range shooting scenarios. Created specifically for handgun self-defense, if you prefer to use a shotshell in this capacity, the larger buckshot option has dependable threat stopping power.
Best .410 Target Loads
Buckshot has some serious stopping power, especially at close range. Get rid of threatening animals on the trail, or stop significant t threats in their tracks to give you time to get to safety.
Best .45 Colt Picks
A .45 Colt load is a lethal option that in no way can be mistaken for anything less. It is the ultimate self-defense option for the Judge series, and is what diversifies the gun to be used in multiple scenarios. These options are some of the best brands you can buy, and reflect weights for both differences in velocity and energy so you can get exactly what you need. As mentioned, the .45 is what allows the Judge to become a conceal carry option since it is the heaviest caliber you can qualify with.
4. Hornady – Critical Defense Ammo 45 Long Colt 185GR FTX
- Weight: 185 grain, Flex Tip Expanding
- Rounds: 20
Hornady is one of the best when it comes to ammunition creation and manufacturing. Their Critical Defense .45 Long Colt provides a lighter 185 grain for an incredible velocity, and powerful energy delivery. With enhanced controlled expansion and reduced recoil in lightweight handgun designs, this is a reliable round you will be happy to have on the ready when needed.
Best .410 Target Loads
This is a lighter .45 Colt option for targets that might be a more of a distance. The weight allows a higher velocity and accuracy, and with practice you don't have to wait for your target to move closer.
5. Winchester – Silvertip Ammo 45 Long Colt 225GR HP
- Weight: 225 grain, Silvertip JHP
- Rounds: 20
Winchester is another name you can't go wrong with, and their Silvertip .45 Long Colt is specifically designed for maximum stopping power and personal defense scenarios. With a velocity of 920 fps, and a 423 energy load, nothing that gets within range is going to get much closer against this powerhouse. Perfect for personal carry and field protection, the precise accuracy of this load is with having on hand.
Best .410 Target Loads
When you are unsure of which .45 round to buy, this is a great choice to feel out. It is light enough for a dependable velocity, but also heavy enough for improved damage.
6. Remington – High Terminal Performance Ammo 45 Long Colt 230GR JHP
- Weight: 230 grain, JHP
- Rounds: 50
With a name like High Terminal Performance Ammo, you know the round has to have some serious energy and expansion design behind it's making. Created by Remington, this is a serious caliber option packaged in a 230 grain weight casing and a jacketed hollow point for incredible expansion and damage upon impact. With a 850 fps velocity and 369 energy load, you are working with a seriously deadly load.
Best .410 Target Loads
If self-defense is your main reason for owning a Judge, this is the round you cannot go wrong with. Heavy, yet with an incredible energy load and velocity that makes you think again, keep this one on hand.
These ammo picks are favored choices by those who own the Taurus Judge. For the most part the .410 shells are not your best self-defense options if you are looking for a terminal load, although the #000 options can be quite damaging (as can the others in close range). They are a great overall protective load, however, and actually are a ton of fun to shoot.
The .45 Colt options are a pretty lethal load that has some pretty incredible energy and velocity. They are a heavier weight but provide some great accuracy and power. Whichever you choose (or both), be sure to always practice with your choices to become familiar with what each can do.

Whether you want to burn fat, boost energy, improve your daily outlook, or just be a bit more toned, walking can help. Here are some tips.
1. Nature can boost your mood and energize you in just 5 minutes. Head to a park or the woods. If the ground is uneven, you might want to pick up some trekking poles for support.
2. Walking uphill activates 25% more muscle fibers for faster firming than strolling on flat terrain
3. Simply Changing the direction you walk—forward, backward, or sideways—keeps your mind alert, increases your calorie burn, and activates underused muscles, such as your inner and outer thighs.
4. As we surround ourselves with technology, we have become less active, set timers to get up, stretch, go for a walk or simply step away from the screen.
5. Kids are also less active and since Covid-19, they find themselves in front of screens even more. There are great kid's fitness trackers from Fitbit and Garmin that motivate, track fitness activity and sleep patterns.
What Is the Stress Level Feature on My Garmin Watch?
Stress level is a feature found on many Garmin watches allowing a user to determine their current level of stress based on their heart-rate variability. When using the stress level feature, the watch uses heart rate data to determine the interval between each heartbeat. The variable length of time in between each heartbeat is regulated by the body's autonomic nervous system. The less variability between beats equals higher stress levels, whereas the increase in variability indicates less stress. Some watches will prompt you when it detects a high level of stress offering you the option to reduce it through a breathing exercise. Some watches also provide all-day stress tracking so you can see your trends throughout the day and over time.
Training, physical activity, sleep, nutrition, and general life stress all impact your stress level. Wearing your device both day and night will return the most consistent, accurate results. If you are too active to determine stress level (such as during a workout), a stress level will not be recorded.
