Welcome to virtual events one oh one. Hi everyone. My name is Alisa Worley and I'm the global marketing director for hyper ledger sorry for Accenture and the the marketing chair for the marketing committee at hyper ledger. And I want to welcome you all and thank you for joining the session. Accenture and hyper ledger the two hats I wear and the entire community really have been aligned in a mission to create a more diverse and inclusive community. And we have made great strides since we hosted our first event I think it was about four maybe five years ago, and particularly in areas like gender. I Brian mentioned in his his opening remarks today that there's 20% gender diversity 20% women attending this event. I think that's an enormous leap from, I think it was roughly 5% at the hyper ledger member summit in Montreal, maybe just three years ago, two or three years ago. So we're making great strides, but there's still work to do. And the best way to do that in my opinion is to build awareness to make it human to make it real to really understand the human element the human at the heart of the issues that we're talking about here. So today I want to open the aperture. I want to recognize the less visible attributes that impact the everyday lives of people with disabilities. Public service announcement as I've just said that closed captioning in the language of your choice is available via worldly which is sponsored by our good friends at DTCC. And you can view the description below the video player in each session for access. So public service announcement over. I'm so proud to have three colleagues with me today to tell their stories and to share their insights. I could go the entire session just talking about their accomplishments, but I will try to be brief. First is my dear Frank Christine Leong who credits her remarkable memory for detail and trust me it is remarkable to having a form of autism. She's a managing director and Accenture's decentralized identity and biometrics group lead globally. And she's also part of Accenture's global blockchain leadership team. She's many inventions to her to her credit driven in many respects by her passion for for animals and humanity. So happy to have her here. She was actually the person that that taught full idea of the structure of identity architecture. She's brilliant. Next, track and field long jumper, NCAA college cheerleader, club gymnast, Olympic bodybuilder, Olympic bodybuilder and born completely blind. While it may not seem like these all fit together for Ike Tellerene, it's just the start for his achievements. And he's modest. I had to look this up in order to get all of these accolades because I had seen a video about Ike on Accenture's internal website. Because he's currently an analyst working in client financial management and guiding financial performance for leading clients. And with experience in a variety of technologies, he looks for opportunities to drive innovation and help create process efficiencies and as a master of finding solutions and more diverse solutions and inclusive solutions. Welcome Ike. And last but not least is Lori Heneborn. She is contagiously passionate about advancing equality, diversity and inclusion for people with disabilities, having lived her own experience with multiple sclerosis since being diagnosed in 2004. She has been putting past this passion to work driving Accenture's disability inclusion research. We lost her on the blockchain team. She was actually responsible for leading that team and still is that created the research function for Accenture blockchain. And she leads thought leadership for several years now in this space as well. She is also on our Global Disability Inclusion Advisory Council and sits on boards for committees for some nonprofits in this area, like Disability IN and the American Association for People with Disabilities. I have braces you guys and I'm so sorry. I'm tripping over them as I'm trying to speak fast. Lori, over to you to present on the accessibility advantage. Great. Let me share my screen. Hopefully you can all see this. And let's get it moving. Okay. So thanks, Alyssa. And it is so wonderful to be joining you and really everyone at this event again. And in particular, your IND session. Hello to all participants. Thank you for joining. As we focus on this important area of disability inclusion in the workplace, I'm a white woman with blonde hair, hazel eyes and wearing glasses. And I have to admit that I was so good when Alyssa first approached me about this session as it is incredibly timely. We just celebrated the 10th anniversary of Global Accessibility Awareness Day. And so before we begin, two things. First, due to the continued diversity and freezing, I'm going to be using, we'll be using person first, identity first language throughout the session interchangeably. Right. And second, I'll be drawing from a few studies that you see here on the slide, on this slide, that extension with our IND organization. We've launched these over the past several years. And this, again, includes the ones you see on the slide, available through Accenture.com. So, you know, it's important with conversations like this to get some grounding, right, in terms of the scale of disability and how employment is trending around the world. This is not a niche issue. Persons with disabilities represent about 15% of the world's population. That's about one billion people with $8 trillion in disposable income, making us the third largest economic that's above Japan, Germany and the UK. And it's important not to forget, roughly 80% of disabilities emerge when people are of working age, like me. As Lisa mentioned, I was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2004. That was five years after starting here at Accenture. And I'm in my 21st year. It means any of us could acquire a disability at any time. This is not a matter of them, but a matter of all of us. It's not a participation in the workforce is disproportionately low. It's estimated that across the world, close to 80% of persons with disabilities are unemployed. In most developed countries, the official unemployment rate for persons with disabilities of working age is at least twice that of those who have no disability. So, we can all agree that creating a diverse and inclusive workplace is the right thing to do, yes. But that's no longer enough. We need to shift the mindset and dialogue from one that's philanthropic to one that I like to say it's foundational, right. And that's what we set out to do in 2018. It meant tackling an important fundamental question, especially among the C-suite in corporate America. Is there a correlation between how inclusive a company is of persons with disabilities and its financial performance? Can we get close to our quantifying the case for why it's also good for business? And that's the question that we discussed with our partners of disability in and AAPD, who have their annual disability equality index study. You have not heard of it. I strongly encourage your organization to take a look at it. It's really one way, you know, you only manage what you can measure, and this is one way to do that. At the time of this research, we were able to analyze the nearly 140 companies who were participating in that index. That was over the past few years of the study leading up to our project. And we were able to identify five of them who were really raising the bar for disability inclusion across areas like employment, like culture and leadership, like accessibility and accommodations to name just a few areas. And we called these companies the Disability Inclusion Champions. And ultimately, what we found was that these champions performed better financially across measures related to value creation and profitability, and that other companies performed better than other companies in that index. On average, they achieved 28% higher revenue, two times higher net income, and 30% higher economic profit margin. But that's not all, right? We needed this to also resonate with investors and the investment community. This is truly a multi-stakeholder situation here, right, in terms of finding solutions and advancing. So we took a look at correlations to shareholder value, both for the champions, but also for those who had improved their actions and scores over time. And again, we were pleasantly surprised. For example, we found that improvements on average were four times more likely to have total shareholder returns that outperformed those of their peer group compared to other companies. And so, of course, in true Accenture fashion, we needed to land at the key actions. And here were the four that surfaced for attracting, retaining, advancing diverse talent. Employee, which we just covered in terms of that quote-unquote business case, engage power. And in the next few minutes, we'll talk about the area of engagement. So, as discussed, persons with disabilities continue to be less likely in paid employment than their peers. What of those of us who are employed? The harsh reality, as our enabling change study showed in 2020 is that we are, as a community, less likely to feel included and thrive than our peers. What we found from our global survey, and this was a global survey of nearly 6,000 employees with disabilities from almost 30 companies, is that employees with disabilities are 27% less likely to feel included in the workplace compared with the average. And by included, we mean they feel like a key component of their team with real influence over decisions. And they're 60% more likely to feel excluded. And by excluded, we mean ignored or with, you know, no voice in their team. So, less likely to feel included, more likely to feel excluded. The next question, of course, is why, right? Why do we feel excluded or undervalued, perhaps? One issue we uncovered was that there's this lack of transparency and trust in workplaces. A sense that employees don't feel safe about opening up about disabilities that they may have or they have. From employee interviews we conducted around the globe, we found that there are fears around things like retaliation, slower progression, less meaningful roles. What we find from the survey is that some of these challenges, that there are some of these challenges or barriers that surface. For example, 77 employees say it's important for them to have the freedom to be the same person at work as they are at home. But just 24% are fully open with their colleagues about their disability. And so there's that clash there. If you want to be the same person at work, then surely you should be able to bring your whole self to work and tell others about who you are as an individual, even about your disability. 71% of employees say that seeing role models are important for them to thrive. Only 20% of executives are fully transparent about their disabilities. So executives are even less open about their disabilities, denying employees those role models that allow them to thrive and feel confident in the workplace. And through the same survey we asked executives and employees about whether they feel the workplace they operate in enables to thrive in terms of having the right technology, environment and support. 67% of executives say, yeah, yeah, we do this, right? But that drops to just 41% of employees who agree. That's a significant gap. One way executives must have top of mind for when the technology is not compliant with accessibility guidelines and when accessibility features are added too late in the design process, businesses find themselves exposed to legal and financial risk. However, by providing increased access, accommodations, assistive technologies, etc., that meet the needs of their employees with disabilities, the organization that foundation for inclusive work cultures that enable all employees to thrive, presenting tremendous opportunities. And in addition to that fundamental role that accessibility plays in fostering that inclusive culture, these are those eight less obvious factors that our model showed has a positive and significant impact on the likelihood of employee with a disability to thrive in the workplace role models working, employee resource groups, fair pay, parental leave, caregiving leave, freedom to innovate, mental wellbeing policies and accessible training that is relevant. Let's move on to now the final piece which is around what employees with disabilities stand to gain when the organization has these eight factors in place. And we see that in workplaces and that's the top 10% where these eight factors are most common. Compared to the worst workplaces, the bottom 10%, big increases in engagement levels are possible to the point where we found 50% higher in the most disability inclusive workplaces comparing again those top to the bottom. And then we see similar gains such as stronger career satisfaction and aspirations and that higher sense of confidence and belonging. So the area that I think is near and dear to many of us, right? So let's take a few minutes, right, just to focus on the accessibility aspect and you'll recall the earlier slide where we outlined the four key actions that surfaced through that 2018 study. Accessibility is embedded, of course, across all of these actions. We've talked about the importance of employing among a diverse talent pool and the role that accessibility plays. We talked about what it means to, you know, advance engagement among our employees with disabilities. So let's turn to the role that accessibility plays when it comes to enabling a culture of equality and inclusion. And, you know, the simple reality is this, if blockchain, I will turn it to blockchain, if blockchain is to become adopted by the masses, accessibility is a must have. Beyond being the right thing to do, we have a commitment, all of us technologists, researchers, developers, to ensure that no one is left behind. And to keep in mind that there will be backlash due to any lack of inclusion or compliance. You know, things as simple as adding alternative text to images can go a very long way. And, you know, an external example I was just reading about that's worth noting is this coming Boolean news accuracy platform on the Ethereum blockchain, which emphasizes the meeting of industry standards regarding accessibility, and they pledge to meet this promise. So I won't drown this slide, but I thought, you know, Accenture offers an excellent example of what we've been doing as we're on our journey to inclusion accessibility for several years now. Constantly striving to ensure that our employees, our teams with disabilities, those of us with disabilities are thriving. You can see a list of related initiatives here and the outcomes as well, including I'm very excited about these new accessibility centers of excellence, which serve to provide a safe space where clients can explore the latest and test the latest technology. Lori, thank you. Yes. Go ahead. I have an echo going. Sorry, guys. I wanted to take an opportunity to ask to open this up for a couple of questions if you don't mind. So thank you for all of the great detail and and Lori slides are actually part of this session's invite.  So I can Christine I wanted to open up some questions for you. And I'm stealing liberally from pieces that you've both written so please forgive me. And again, for both of you but I'm going to start with you like you see life through a lens of opportunities, not obstacles. Can you talk about that. Why is that. Yeah, I think that when you have a disability, you're presented with a obstacle that nor in normal everyday person's life they don't really deal with so it kind of like you feel excluded from a lot of things. But it's all perspective. When I started to realize that this is something I can't change that I've visually impaired, then I started to realize that in order to be successful in this world I have to accept the situation I have and then be I have to see the opportunities I can from the situation. And I think it's something that's very important to me disability inclusion because it's something I've faced in my life, and every day the world gets a lot more inclusive and so much better. So to me I see so many more opportunities on a daily basis that's opening the doors for people across the board. And Christine, you've talked about this in the context of your superhuman memory and the way you use you problem solve. And I think actually you both mentioned those attributes. How has this played a role in how you see opportunities in in everything that you do. What I think is for me at least is that is is just the way that's my normality. That's what every day is for me. But it is also difficult sometimes to understand that not everyone is the same as me. My normal that I can remember most things and I can switch from one sort of I don't really ever take notes. And most of the time I remember the conversations very very well. I don't need to sort of write things down. But you have to learn that actually other people aren't the same as you because what I know as my normal is my normal, but not everybody else is normal is the same as mine. So, whilst I can, and sometimes it's frustrating but it's also a good opportunity to know that because I have this different normal than everyone else. That is okay. Everybody else also have their normal and it can be different. That's you reminded me of a Margaret Mead quote I love her she's an anthropologist and she said, everyone, you're incredibly unique, just like everyone else. So, what's really important, because I think sometimes, you know, me included, you know, what's really important for people to understand about disability inclusion and why this is so important. Like I'm going back to you. Yeah, it's important because, you know, I was thinking about this the other day space exploration. In the 1960s when they decided to go to space, it seemed like it seemed like a waste of resources like we're going to go to the moon there's nothing there. What are we getting out of this, and a lot of inventions from space helping a very a few people that were in a sense disabled, because in space you can't breathe oxygen there's all these things that do accommodate for. And all these inventions come from that you have memory foam that we all love and use every every night when we go to sleep we there's so many, you know, water filters were invented. There's a lot of things that came from that and I think solving the bigger problem the harder problem and making things accessible opens up innovation and for everyone. Christine, any anything to add to that. That's incredibly insightful. Don't think anyone can sort of. I think that's that's a phenomenal way of thinking and I think we all think differently right so in my case is is a neuro diversity aspects of it and the different ways of thinking about something in a team is is powerful. And having different it means different skills, different way of approaching a problem, which means that you might have different outcomes might come to different conclusions. Everything is is it brings this type of innovation by having a different way of thinking about something. And I think that's that's that can only be a good thing to bring to a team in terms of ability to think differently. And there are studies right there are studies that show this that working alongside employees with disabilities helps to make non disabled individuals just you know more aware of how to involve right to be more inclusive and better for everyone at the end of the day. That's so true Lori and and honestly, this is the thing that and again after that session that really has has sat at the forefront of my mind when you think about all of the potential that emerging technologies in particular technology in general but certainly I have a bias towards the emerging ones. They play a role in opening up even more opportunities for people with disabilities so how do you see that potentially playing out. And I'm now, how can we as a community start to think about how we can apply technologies to help solve some problems and make life a little bit easier for all of us, but particularly for individuals with disabilities. Is that a question for me. It's for all of you. So I can I can start I can start I could be the resident geek here right because you know this is this is we just launched our AI for inclusion research and the study.  Right, like blockchain like our like artificial intelligence to simply address barriers to including persons with disabilities and particularly in the area of accessibility by the way. Yet the same study showed that 7% have used inclusive design or that some of us may call universal design but inclusive design principles to support that development. And this is this is something we need to be thinking about right we need to and this goes back to the conversation we just had about why it's so important to be inclusive. Right, right to have a seat at the table right from the start. And Christine I know if technology could save every animal on the planet you would be you would be have more even more patents. But in a different in a different perspective how do you see this potentially playing out. I think it's, I think there is about thinking differently. And we have many of us with different abilities and disabilities can think differently. And I, I have Asperger syndrome, as many of you know, and I'm supposed to have. Well, it's people often say that people with autism have issues with empathy. It's not that I don't have empathy. It's that I have more empathy with the four-legged. So I can acquire that empathy in a different manner and be able to see what I can think of how I can use some of the technology that the sort of emerging tech capability in things that I can view differently. And think about, well, how can the pain that I feel with, because I can't express myself as well as others, or I have issues processing some of the information, maybe the dogs, the elephants feel the same way. So how can it be applied to them? How can their way of, how can my way of processing information by using technology be more relevant to them? Because I might be processing information similar to them or otherwise, seeing it from a different perspective that may benefit, for example, livestock. And being able to transport things like livestock, pets, pet health, ability to share information differently, ability to change their lives for the better. And also, our lives are the better. Well, for example, as a dog owner, how would that benefit myself, others like yourself, at least at that? How can you share your information about your dogs to your vet, for example, easier? Because it's easier, quicker, you know, and better by looking at how technology can change some of that. And it's not just one type of technology, as Laurie said, it could be many types of different technology. And it's all about showing different ways of thinking and bringing a different perspective. So I think what I'm hearing is you're saying, and I think I'm stealing from you because I think you've said this too, that we all have things, right? We all have things that make us different or things that maybe present challenges or opportunities to us every single day. And it's just being able to take on that perspective. So just to kind of, I'm very cognizant of the time. What tips would you offer about working with colleagues and collaborators with disabilities? How can we be more effective in how we all work together? Like, can I do that first? Yeah, sure. I think it's important to realize that we all have something that we're dealing with, regardless if it's a physical or mental disability. We all have things. And during COVID, we saw that more than ever. You have parents watching and homeschooling their kids while they're working. And that's something you need to consider on your team when you're working with them. Okay, they have something they're dealing with that I'm not dealing with. So even though I have a disability, I need to be cognizant that other people have situations in their life that could be impacting their life or their work. So it's always important to consider that people have something going on at all times in their life. And another thing that's probably not a fun thing to bring up is that we all are, as we get older, become more disabled. Like, we lose our seven sensory systems start declining. So we're all at one point inevitable that we will have some sort of a disability. And being younger and working on improving the workplace, I think it's important for me to also consider that we need to make this an inclusive world. Because some point in time, maybe I lost my vision early on, but maybe someone will lose it later on, but they'll still experience similar things that I am. So I think it's important to realize we're all kind of in the same boat, but we're just at a different cadence. So I think it's important to just consider that. I love that. I love the idea of kind of all of us in this together. And I'm so sorry that we, this was so short, and we are out of time. So I want to, and I want to do a clean close for the Hyperledger team. So I'm going to close with just a couple of thoughts and make it quick. I mentioned Margaret Mead earlier. I love her. And she has a quote that says, never doubt that a small group of thoughtful committed citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. And we as a community of thoughtful committed individuals, each of us has the power to make the change. That we want to see in this space. So I hope you'll take this perspective forward to create the most diverse and inclusive ecosystem and the best technologies as we're still in this development stage possible. So thank you to all of the speakers for sharing the data and sharing your stories and to all of you for attending. I look forward to continuing this conversation. Thanks so much. Thanks everyone. Hi everyone.


Hi everyone, Joe for Jaspy's casebreaks.com coming at you with 2019 Panini Contenders Football. Some nice players to chase in the 2019 class and even better, the biggest hit. So there's five autographs in here, right? The sixth and biggest hit is who's gonna get that Super Bowl Mixer spot. 60 bucks could get you a spot in that. That should be pretty nice. So big thanks to this group right here for getting in on it, appreciated. There are the teams right there so that'll be our first dice roll. Second dice roll will be the giveaway part. But first let's do the break. Snake eyes for names and teams. One, two, all sides are good on the face, Mike Tower. And I keep my hair kind of short so I don't need that, I'm not Trevor Lawrence.  We were talking about how the NFL experience in LA when the Super Bowl was here last year had a Bengals cheerleaders along the side of the 40 yard dash and all of them saying in the chat. Now I was wondering in the chat, I was just like, how much faster would my 40 time be if Bengals cheerleaders cheering me on? Would my nine, five, 40 turn into an eight, five, 40? Does that shave a second off the time? There's the first half of the list and here's the second half of the list. Don't know. I missed it. So I'll have to wait until the next time, next time the Super Bowl rotates back to LA. Oliver, did you run the 40? Did you time yourself? What was your time? If you did. All right, there's the final printout, hot off the presses. I don't know, Mike Tower, cheerleaders, the spirit team is usually around football players. I don't think they're gonna be impressed with a Tesla. You did a five, eight. I don't know if I had said this already, but we did pop this box from a fresh case. I don't think there's cases or anything like that, but we did post another box, same promo, giving away that Super Bowl mixer spot. Or the big game mixer spot. Sorry, Roger. Commissioner Goodell, five, eight, but hammies intact. How much boost do you think those Bengals cheerleaders gave you, Oliver? You think no cheerleaders, it's like six, four? Six, four, 40? Oliver is a Steelers guy. Oliver, what if like Mike Tomlin was there?  Oh, you would have been slower. Gotcha, you don't run well when you're distracted. What if Mike Tomlin was there? Mike Tomlin, master motivator. Oh, are those points? Ooh, that usually takes a place a lot. We'll randomize that to somewhere in the booth. All right, so those should be four autographs than the points. Mike Tomlin, master motivator, Mike Tomlin. You might get five, two, five, two, 40. They shaved half a second off that. All right, Darius Leonard. Ah, they usually flip with the autographs. Is that a variation? No, I don't think. Where's Ben Rothsberger to 175? I feel like we should see autos by now. Oh, okay, there we go. We got Bruce Anderson. Sal with the buccaneers. Rothsberger will go to Nico and the Steelers. We got return of the Mac. Cleveland, this is for you. Mac Wilson. Browns, James with the Browns. And we got playoff ticket autograph. Darwin Thompson, 27th out of 99. And Meikle Harbin. So Darwin Thompson for the Chiefs. That's gonna be for Tristan. And Tristan also gets Meikle Harbin. Rookie on card autograph, not too bad. We'll see him in the Super Bowl. Probably, right? He's on the injury report, but it should be fine in a couple of weeks. All right, there you go. Not too bad. Now, let's flip back to the list over here. Who's gonna win that Super Bowl Mixer spot? Let's gather all the names. And spot two, you'll get the consolation prize, the 250 points. That's how we'll do that. All right, good luck everybody. Fingers crossed, deep breath. Let's see what happens. Two and a two for the hard way. Name on top after four gets the Super Bowl Mixer spot. One, two, three, and four. The suspense, a lot of sad faces here. But I appreciate everybody giving this a shot. Spot two, points, but that's just the consolation. Jason, you get the points. I appreciate you giving it a shot. Sad times, two through 32. But happy times for Lee, Lee Wolfgram. Hungry like the Wolf, hungry for a Super Bowl Mixer spot.  We'll see you for that Mixer the Saturday before the Super Bowl. More opportunities like this to win a spot for a fraction of the price, ladies and gentlemen. Jaspeyscasebrakes.com. I'm Joe, I'll see you next time for the, yeah, that's right. Lee only had once, that's why I encourage everybody buy one spot, all it takes is one. So there you go, you could be the next Lee getting that spot. All it takes is one, buy one spot and the next one. Jaspeyscasebrakes.com, thanks everybody.


So confirmed by Gearbox, we need money for the next event of Revenge of the Cartels. What we need that money for, I ain't sure. How much we need, I ain't sure. But today, I bring you a method in making millions in minutes. Billions in minutes. Has it gone guys? My name is DPJ and today I bring you another BR3 video. If you don't enjoy it, leaving a like really helps out and subscribe if you do want to see more. Also guys, for all your gaming needs, no matter the platform you play on, with amazing weekly deals, check out G2A, the links within that video description. So making money really isn't hard. Making quick money really isn't hard. And now making millions, even billions in minutes. Today, after you watch this, won't be hard either. Now we all know about the money barrels you can shoot with that level 1 infinity pistol which generate a ton of money. But what quicker way is there to actually get money? This one is for sure. It does require you to have a few things though, but nothing too hard to get at all. So firstly, you need a Crayol weapon. It doesn't really matter what it is, just make sure it's Crayol and only Crayol. Next up you need a grenade of this type. Now it doesn't have to be the exact one, it just needs to have similar prefixes. The ones you really want though are homing, bouncy and money. This one does have Merv though which is nice, but here you could have two money prefixes instead. But homing I'd say although it's not really needed, it's still amazing to have. Bouncy means that money prefix comes into play three times as with each detonation, the grenade makes more money. And in this instance, tracking an enemy is just a cherry on a cake. Now get anything like this and you are good to go. This variant was sent to me by my pal, 10 Tolls Down on Xbox. The variant is also a level 12 meaning it doesn't actually kill enemies as it's too weak, but it still generates just as much cash.  This although isn't a must, it just obviously helps. Now me doing this on Zane and a grenade making that money, grenades and regen in them is very useful obviously. So pocket for the grenades is a useful option to have on guys. Now I know a lot of all hunters out there have similar benefits too, these are the all hunters you want to be doing this on. Also guys you want to be doing this on mayhem 3 as it's this mayhem mode where you generate the most money. From here guys you want to head to Eden 6 and load into the voracious canopy. Then follow the route I will take you on and show you at the end of the video. Once here they'll approach this platform and you will bear witness to something much like something you'd see out of an 80s movie. Because here we have the Jabba Magua and what these do is when hit with anything Croyol they duplicate. When in the water hit with Croyol they duplicate even more. The more you shoot them with their Croyol weapon they more they duplicate.  Spawning unlimited amounts for sure and you will earn it like northern method I have come across in this game so far. It is that crazy. Crazy to a point of earning millions in minutes. Even billions in minutes. Now what I did was add my ulti cant in on the action 2 for the most part just standing there racking up that money also and within 30 minutes people I easily had over a billion. Easily. I then which I suggest you guys do the same transfer it to an ulti character because if you die those stacks are going to drop faster than you can say phenomenal microscopic silicon vulcanosis. So yeah guys for those that need that money quick I do hope this helps you out. Now as for the grenade which is the main point of this you can easily farm vending machines which is your best bet in getting anything like this. I posted a great farm a while back where you can do this on a split screen. This means you can do this at any vending machine across the game as long as your first character your main character has unlocked the area where that vending machine is. You can then create a level one character a level one vault hunter and farm with that. This means all those grenades will be at that level. Farm away once you find that one you want transfer the money off your main buy it and you are good to go. That vending machine method though you'll find a link to within that video description if you do want to check it out. But yes people we have come to the end of this video and this is how you farm infinite amounts of money in a short time as possible. If you guys enjoyed the video leaving a like really helps out.

So next up we have Neil, our previous DPL. The DPL is a very opaque role to some people because the problem is you can only know what it is to be a DPL if you were actually a DPL. So what Neil is going to do this morning is share some experiences that he had while being DPL and what that all entailed. So please thank Neil for taking the time to prepare that. Can anyone hear? There we go. So thanks very much, Annie. It's good to see so many people here after a, apparently less microphone now, after a rather good evening in the pub with lots of food and lots of good beer. So that's good to see. So I wanted to give an overview as to what happened over the last year and the sort of things that a DPL has to deal with. Now it should be worth bearing in mind that every DPL term is different. You all have different challenges to deal with and different sort of things you need to do. Now I knew that when I took over, that it'd be a lot of work and lots of talking to people. But not quite how I imagined. There's a lot more of talking to other people. So generally to the bits of media but also lots of other groups, lots of other people within the free software community. So I wake up and I found I was elected to the post of DPL. My first thoughts would break the code of conduct. So I'm not going to say what exactly those were. But it was quite exciting. So that was certainly an interesting time. Now the main things you sort of get in the first sort of, well, before you officially take office, there's lots of media requests.  And it's a really good opportunity to promote Debian and the sort of things that we're able to do. Additionally, you get a lot of spam. Now I had some of this from being a media over there. Current DPL is nodding furiously. I had a bit of experience of this with being on the press at contact and a couple of others. But you not only get all the spam from your leader at mail which is a fairly well distributed email at the moment but you also get all the press at spam and all the auditor spam as well. And donations and trademarks and the rest. You get spam, you get a lot of spam and if anyone really, really wants to train their spam filtering software with some really good data run for DPL, it's an excellent, excellent plan. So you have to wait through all of that. There's also an archive of the previous DPL mails which is really useful so you can run through that and find out even more spam which is great. So that was kind of the first day we was waiting through that. Day one, I have a lot of days to go through so I'm hoping everyone is feeling sitting very comfortably at the moment. So day one, no, let's sort of speed up a little bit. So month one. Within a month, I personally released Jesse. I'm claiming that, I'm claiming that. No one is going to take that away from me. It's all my work. But hey, we released Jesse. Now that was an absolutely fantastic experience to have. Loads of fantastic press, loads of coverage from everywhere. I appeared in a video conference call to Debian India. They had a huge cake. Unfortunately, they didn't think they could ship any to me and it would still be in an edible state but that was a great fun thing to do. More interviews again. Lots of this sort of happens. And yeah, so there's certainly quite a bit of a press around there. Then you have sort of three kind of issues which should come over from Lucas's term. Sort of legal issues which you have to deal with. Once around the PHP license. Essentially the PHP license says it only applies to PHP and derived works now. If you create a program using this license there's then confusion because the license can't actually apply to the software that you've written. Be all or an end all of that is essentially we are going to publish a statement on the Debian website somewhere saying we're going to ignore that bit because it doesn't make any sense.  We can't do anything about it so things are fine. So hopefully that will move forward soon. LibDVDCSS is a more interesting one. We got very close to being able to accept this. Certainly in the form that we'd worked out and then Japan came along and it appears that in Japanese copyright law. So it's Japanese copyright law around DMCA is fantastic. So they've taken DMCA and then added bits on to make it even more complicated even if it wasn't before. So this was there's some language in there around machines which well apparatus which facilitate the making of apparatus which facilitate copyright infringement. So this is to stop people making machines which clone cards for cable TV or something. Now that then becomes a problem for Debian because Debian is that mechanism which then distributes LibDVDCSS which then can be used to potentially view movies which you have legally bought on whatever computer equipment we have legally bought and obviously this is a terrible thing and we should block this apparently. But that's where we are so that is as yet unresolved and I really don't want to advocate going down the path of creating a non-Japan.debian.org because non-US.debian.org was so easy to deal with. And then ZFS, I'll get on to more of that in a minute. So spending money was also a useful thing. When I came into term I said we need to spend some money so lots of requests came in. So I approved all those and pretty much without I think without exception. I think I'll mention more money in a minute. And the other one which probably people don't know is around DD certificates. I don't know if Mehdi's had any of these yet but yeah. So as a, without wanting to add too much more to Mehdi's workload, as a Debian developer you can email the DPL and they will sign you a special certificate to say you're a Debian developer. This can take some time just with the volume that certainly I got. Each one individually doesn't take too long but just the processing of those when you have various other bits to deal with is interesting. It'd be great to automate that some way. So that was kind of month one. Month two until the end of my term. I'm working out how hard to rant about this. I'll be good. I'll give a bit of background as to where we are with this and how this came about. So four days in to my term I receive an email from John Sullivan saying ha. So I've read that Debian are interested in have worked out a way of distributing ZFS. And there's major concerns with this. To the state that depending on exactly how we do it this could create major problems for Debian and could essentially send huge ripples through the community. There is no doubt I think that the license that ZFS is distributed under CDDL is a free license but in my mind and quite a few others these licenses are not compatible with the GPL. So there's a lot of back and forth lots of twos and pros. Essentially we'd received some legal advice from the Software Freedom Law Center. I think Luke has originally sent in the request around what can we do with this? Does this compatible? How does this work? What do the licenses say? And we got back quite a lot of texts. I'm not entirely sure it was the exact question we asked because for those who have dealt with lawyers I'm sure you may recognize some of this but we asked about how is these license compatible? Can we distribute it? And the answers we got back I will summarize as saying you're not going to get sued. Which isn't exactly what I wanted to know but fine. So not only if we did get sued then it's unlikely that there'd be any damages because Debian doesn't have any money. I'll get onto that in a moment as to exactly how much money Debian does have. But it's unlikely that anyone would want to sue Debian it would be bad publicity, et cetera. But that wasn't the question that I wanted to know. I wanted to know how compatible these licenses were. So we received that advice. I then had lots of meetings with John from Free Software Foundation, Bradley from Conservancy and FTP Masters and the maintainers and everything. And eventually we get to this truth shall we say where we work out we shall distribute it using DKMS in the Contrib repository. Now Contrib is an interesting place for those who don't know what Contrib is. We have three main suites in Debian. One of those is main. Main consists of programs that you're fully free and can be distributed and essentially uphold our Debian Free Software guidelines. Non-free is for things we're allowed to distribute but don't meet those guidelines. In between there you have some a bit of a gray area things that are free but depend on non-free stuff or somehow the licensing doesn't meet a self-inclusive main an example of this. So this doesn't just have to be licensing either. This is also around functionality because remember many years ago early in the Debian days we had SCUM VM which is free but only existed to run what at the time was non-free games. Then beyond a steel sky came along as free game and excellent it could go into main. So the point of Contrib is not just a licensing thing it's around usefulness itself. We talked to, I talked to FTP masters, big thanks to Noodles as well who helped with some of this as a, I'm not gonna call him a lawyer in training but he has been doing a law degree recently so make of that what you will. And essentially we worked out the point that there is a promise we make to our users when they use main. You can take main. You can apply DFSG to that. You can modify it and as long as you essentially send the source on, et cetera, you're gonna be okay. And you can send this to your friends. It is entirely unclear. That's probably the political way of putting it but it is very unclear as to what happens if you take ZFS on Linux, combine it with a Linux kernel and then distribute it to your friends because it has a binary format. So no one entirely knows exactly what that means. So we would be breaking that promise to our users hence this is why it's going to end up in Contrib. So excellent. So we have a wonderful position that works. Conservancy are okay with it. Free Software Foundation are okay with it. FTP Masters are okay with it and the maintainer's okay with it. Fantastic. It goes into new and then Ubuntu publish a statement. Ubuntu publish a statement saying they're shipping the binary on advice from a senior free software lawyer. This starts to make me quite annoyed. For those who don't understand Britishness quite annoyed is well, well, go look it up. Yeah, it put me off my tee. I was mildly miffed because we'd worked really hard to reach this point where I mean the original positions I think of Free Software Foundation and shout at me, John if I'm wrong is don't chip this at all. And the important point is here is not around CDDL being a free license or even being a proprietary license. If we allow a GPL incompatible license to be linked like this in the Linux kernel and distributed as binary that is exactly the same legal preset as binary non-free modules as proprietary modules. What we're talking about here isn't around is it a free license or not? It's an incompatible license. If we allow an incompatible license no matter how wonderful we may or may not find the CDDL that is our defense to stop binary proprietary modules being loaded with the kernel and distributed with the kernel. It's the thing that we use to stop essentially proprietary software appearing and not being able to be used on our devices. So going back there was this wonderful announcement. I was then asked by SFLC if they could publish the advice that they had sent Debian saying we won't be sued. I thought this was quite odd. So I asked why and a lot of the commentary was around. Well, if we publish this then Oracle won't sue Debian. I can't see Oracle suing Debian to be honest at all ever but so that was quite odd and I thought but why would you do this? This goes against the position that your client the Debian project has taken which is no it's not just about the legality it's about the morality of combining these two things and Debian has always been keen to remain a free software distribution and keep it that way. So then an opinion piece comes out from the SFLC which looks very similar to the advice would receive to accept with Debian's name filed off. This saga is continuing. It hasn't finished yet. It will continue for a long time. I just hope that us as Debian recognize our role within the wider community and work not just as Debian, not just as Debian versus Fedora, not just as SPI versus SFLC versus Conservancy or Free Software Foundation. This is an issue which is important to all of us who care about software freedom and the ability to use our devices together. Enough of a rant about CFS. Delegations, I could be wrong. I believe I'm probably the first DPL who ended with fewer delegates than they started with. So press publicity bits got combined into one. This is now just the fantastic I have to say publicity team. I don't know if anyone's dealt with them recently but they're incredibly active and the amount of stuff we're getting now is absolutely wonderful. Yeah, thank you very much. Especially if you're listening to the stream at home. I think Laura is probably there. Hello. Auditor got changed into the treasurer delegation. This was a slight confusion with the role. They started getting emails saying can you please audit our programs and make sure they're secure or something. For people who are handling monetary books this was a little bit confusing for them so just to highlight the sort of differences here this is now the treasurer. Front desk got de-delegated. I spoke to Dam I think at a mini dev company in Cambridge. They wanted me to update the delegation because they were changing people or moving people around. I asked what they wanted actually delegating and then we realized there wasn't anything to delegate. It was just running a process and looking at applications and not making any decisions. Then dev conf chairs. Now this one was fairly contentious and I'm particularly sad that I wasn't able to help deal with this during my term. Essentially it's a the role of dev conf chairs is a very difficult job and so is organizing all of dev conf. How do you ensure that there is accountability to the project for what you're spending project money on but at the same time allow the local organizers of the event to actually get on and run it and create a great event that we've all come to expect. Sorry Mehdi a fun one for you dealing with dev conf chairs. So I've handed it over to him so we'll see where it comes from there. Easy subject apparently, excellent. Then in my final bits of the mail I delegated for four hours the Debian trolling team. This was given to Paul Tag and it had one power only which was to declare what color t-shirt the DPL show wear. Now I was clever enough to time limit it because over those four hours, well there was a few changes of shirts shall we say and you can probably see sort of the lateness of the hour throughout the evening at first all happy, excellent, great. Then getting very tired and by the end of it what the hell I'm running out of t-shirts. Oh punch someone, well possibly Paul Tag. Money, in my platform I said we have too much money and we should spend it. Now every request that came in I replied and said spend the money already. People said can I have 2,000 euros for a sprint? I said let's go up to 2,500 euros because I don't want people coming back again and saying oh we went over the budget by 100 euros or so. Did a lot of work with Debian system administrators as well to get things like new disks, improve hardware, things like this. So this is just the money at SPI in the various earmarks that we have and so very prized to say that with this great amount of spending that I authorised and told everyone to do we ended up with more money than we started with the game. Oh dear. April doesn't have a 31st date. So Margot was saying Margot spotted the deliberate mistake I put in my slides to make sure everyone was awake. End of April, which I don't call it the week. It's a special day. It's a very special day in this case but so anyway we ended up with once again more money than we started the year with. So I'd certainly encourage people to... Donate more. Donating more is good. Fundraising went through the SPI account. So a lot of that money is already earmarked for Debcon, right? Yes, but it was also earmarked for the previous Debcon. Okay. So it's... Overture also gets more money during that year. Is there another problem with your dates since each one year off? Both? Because you started in 2015? No? That was my term. No? That's mad. 14, 15. 15, 15, 16. No, that works, yeah, OK. But the numbers are right anyway, so. It was very late last night and very early this morning, hence the coffee. But yeah, so we still have quite a lot of money. We should probably spend some of that. That'd be a good idea. Yes? Stand up. Stand up. So Deb Conf in Hawaii? Deb Conf Hawaii, apparently. That certainly helps. Yeah, so anyone who's interested, the thing was the presentations for Deb Conf 18 are on Friday. If you want to propose Deb Conf Hawaii, that would be fantastic. Especially as it's summer back at home and winter now in Cape Town, although it's been reasonable, a little bit cold and raining a lot, so a lot like a British summer anyway. So I feel quite at home. Other bits which I wanted to do, bike sheds, the new name for PPAs as FTP masters decided to call them. I think it came from original joke, which I made in one of my talks. And they kindly decided that apparently my humor is so bad that it can be termed into a code name for something we do technically. As I understand it, the bits that are left here is stuff to do with want to build and how that integrates. And hopefully, at some point, maybe by 2020, we will get bike sheds. I'd encourage anyone who is particularly interested in this go talk to Andreas Barth, Abba. He's not here. Excellent. So I can volunteer him to be the point person here. Go talk to him. Try and work out what if you want this. Yes. Mehdi. Does it work? Yeah. I suggest anyone interested to go talk to Aurelien Gernot, who is the maintainer of the want to build and the built-in network today. Excellent. Aurelien Gernot, Aurel 32. Good. That's the next stage for that. I think that did work quite well is outreach. So certainly with the outreach team, I think I said Devin will guarantee a minimum of four slots per session. And so that's gone really well. It's something that I was keen of and trying to increase the amount of outreach we do and making sure that we can do that. Excellent. I do have some time for questions as well. So there's lots of people to thank, particularly like to thank at this point, Lucas. I know that when I think Steve took over his DPL, it's like, ah, your DPL. Congratulations. See you. But I got a fantastic handover from Lucas. Lots of detail about and introductions to various people as well, which was really, really handy. A huge thanks to everyone who's helped me during my term. A particular thanks to these three organizations, Free Software Foundation and the Free Software Conservancy, Software Freedom Conservancy, even. Trying to, who were able to support my role, not only with just questions and interacting with the rest of the community, but a good amount of moral support as well.  So particularly John, Karen, and Bradley from the Free Software Foundation and Conservancy particularly, like to thank them particularly much on this speech. Yeah, thank you. And you know I said Debian has money. Well, these sort of people are ones who also help uphold software freedom within the things. And quite frankly, they also need money to do it. So go join these people if you haven't already. Conservancy, for example, this week, if you join this week, then there is a generous donor who's going to match your funds. So I encourage everyone here to sign up for them. Also, if you're at a conference and Conservancy are there, they throw an awesome cocktail party as well for people with some rather low budget. But you will get the exact director of the Conservancy, cooking you chili. Also like to thank my employer, Collabra, who were absolutely fantastic during the year. They're actually, I think for the first year this time, a gold sponsor of DevConf, which was really handy. So unfortunately, due to South Africa customs, we didn't have our usual bump at the jobs fair and stuff like that, which has now arrived. So thanks very much for the auditing for like driving down to the depot and picking it up and the rest of it. So there's loads of stickers and things like that. And is there anyone from the org team in the audience? Cover your ears. Because we've also got these flyers. And on the back of the flyers, they get made into paper aeroplanes. Absolutely fantastic. It says AirDebcom, apparently. So yeah. Everyone has permission to have a flyer. Everyone has permission for a flyer and then to turn it into paper aeroplanes. So that's fantastic. So I'll shove those out and think. Yeah, the responsible person says that we can all make paper aeroplanes. So that's great. So yeah. I guess that's it for me. We have time for questions, I believe. I'm not seeing a yellow or red sign. Oh, 10 minutes. Excellent. So one at the back. Thanks for the summary. While seeing these FSF software conservancy logos over there, did you make any progress with the, well, interpretation or stubbornness? Sorry. Did you make any progress about the, well, interpretation of the GFDL? That seems to be some kind of stubbornness on the, well, maybe FSF side, maybe on the Debian side. But it's not in the interest of, I think, our users not to ship documentation, to ship free documentation just because licenses say, well, there are invariant sections about back and front cover texts. And maybe we can keep this up going again while all involved people are here at Debian. Yeah, so the, yeah, thanks very much. So this is one of the, I mean, the FSF and Debian have some, let's just say, actually minor disagreements about what we think is free and what we're trying to produce. I think this is, oddly, the one area where Debian is trying to be more free than the free software foundation in this particular case. Now, the wonderful thing about this talk is that we have people here who can answer that. So, John. You know, personally, I want to see everybody on the, like Debian and FSF on the same page, particularly about definitions of what constitutes free and not free software documentation material. I think that we've had a good several years in a row, actually, of just good conversations and figuring out how to move forward. So that's obviously one of the more complicated things that we're trying to do. So I think that's one of the things so that's obviously one of the more complicated areas that's been an issue for quite a while. But, you know, we're interested in talking about it. I've gotten very good responsiveness out of Lucas and Neil and Zach and had a chance to meet Medi here too. So I think that we'll continue to have very frank conversations about everything and hopefully make some progress. Great. Ah. So it seems that you spend a fair amount of time working on the FS. I was wondering if you... One idea I've had for a long time is that we might be useful to have some kind of Debian legal advisory team, people who are from inside Debian and that could collect the advice from all organizations that provide advice to Debian and just build up the various proposals and dig this up to let the DPL decide. I don't think it makes sense to delegate or to decide on this. Yeah. So one thing that I think would be particularly interesting is increasing Debian's options for who we can get legal advice from. Certainly as, in my term, we had a new pro bono legal advice around trademarks, which is Marie who's been helping us with trademarks. There's various options I think we have because I think the traditional saying is if you put three lawyers in a room you'll get seven different opinions. So certainly that's certainly useful and that kind of interestingly touches on a question that I think the project needs to think about which is what does the project want from the DPL? The DPL is an interesting position where it's not entirely clear what's expected there. I mean, is this an administrator who checks all the finances and improves things like that? Or is it a spokesperson who goes and does a lot of press events and turns up who to events? Talks to various different organizations or is it a mediator who goes and deals with conflict within teams? Sometimes even within packages I've received some of those which is tricky. I'm not convinced that this is a role that one person can take on especially if they're not working full-time on the job and be able to achieve everything that they want to. I don't have the answer to this but it's certainly something that people should think about when it comes to the DPL role and what's expected of them. I think we have time for one, maybe two short questions. If anyone else has any of those? We've got five minutes. Oh, yes.  What was the most and the least rewarding interactions I had? Probably I think the most rewarding I mentioned already which was that video call with Debian India they actually had I think eight or nine release parties all at the same time all which were equally packed so being able to appear and represent the project over there was by a eventually once we tried seven different video streaming systems and ended up with I think I used a G streamer pipeline over a socket to a web thing but eventually we got there that was absolutely fantastic and seeing this massive cake which they baked for the Debian release. The, not necessarily the worst but the most annoying I think interaction was from a least rewarding least rewarding is a member someone who used to interact with the project quite a bit and doesn't have access to the BTS or various list servers for the moment emailed me and said what's happening to the team survey for the ITS? So that is a bit of a what eventually I managed to script that this is actually talking about the bug tracking system but the team survey is something that was about 10 years ago when Steve did it someone believes that it's entirely dysfunctional and the BTS is a team all rubbish and aren't doing any jobs and are annoyed at being banned still so I received a number of emails from this person I wrote back I was going to write back eventually I decided that this is not going to stop anything so I ignored it very very quick what's the most bizarre interaction you have had? What's the most bizarre interaction I've had? The most bizarre interaction I had was before I took office I walked into my local running club which meets in a pub obviously because we're British and turned up and then six or seven people I know said hey congratulations let me buy you a pint for being DPL which was great but it sort of emphasised to me actually what a big deal Debian is and how much it actually has influenced beyond just the free software people we know people rely on it they really use it and they love what we do and wanted to carry on doing that and I am out of time now so I'll just say thank you very much for a fantastic year it's been a hell of an experience please if you think about running do so you won't regret it


if that's what you're asking college greens just took off nice I'm gonna have another if if you're when you're smoking cigars advice when you're smoking cigars when your cigar goes out before you light it again have a snack of something I was looking at the camera looking at the chat trying to read something in the chat check it out right oh here's a fish bone I do munch on fish bones every now and then he's laughing so check it out super good super good delicious so good fish bones are you talking about the sour cream a little right total smear I don't know what that means I'm laughing oh smear from lower crunchy asked asparagus William can I ask you why you think that I bet you explained that hundreds of times before but think what crunchy if you let me know I'll reply but I forget sometimes I go off on tangels left and right right NF civic productions on rumble okay I just jumped on what was that and that was colored greens in my garden patio that survived the winter a leaf salmon salmon sour cream capers dill cilantro lemon salt all mixed together super good


What's up everybody I'm TheMangoose, you are awesome and today we're going to talk about the current state of overprime.  They now have a launcher, they have servers with matchmaking, and the game is a bit more optimized than it used to be. It of course isn't perfect, there are still problems that I think hold this title back, but they have listened to the community and implemented many of the things we asked for. Before I go on, I just want to say that despite what many overprime fans may think, I'm not trying to intentionally sabotage this game. I wish the absolute best for all of these projects, even if I know that not all of them will make it.  In this video and in all of my content I offer praise and criticism where I think they are due regardless of who is making the game.  I truly believe that overprime offering their game to everyone for no cost at all is spectacular and I really want to bring this game to people's attention as it may be either a better option or maybe just a great alternative to the other pair of zombies, if you enjoyed the faster paced playstyle of late stage paragon.  Two of the biggest roadblocks holding people back from playing overprime was the painfully complicated installation process and the lack of servers forcing people to play peer-to-peer. SoulLeave has added a bonafide launcher that will run all on its own now both installing and updating your client automatically. However, it's very slow for most people. I'm not sure why, but if I actually used this launcher to do a fresh install it would take me 24 hours on a one gig internet connection. It was much faster to manually install. I encourage you to try to run the launcher yourself, maybe you won't encounter the same problems that I did, but for me it was faster to go the old route and download a bunch of folders and unzip them a certain way into a certain folder under the first moon of autumn while holding a possum's asshole.  The other things holding people back was peer-to-peer only play. They do have servers now, North American, Asian, and European servers. You can queue into a game through a matchmaking process just like any other game. You can also choose which map you want to play on, legacy or monolith. Something we've been asking for since Paragon servers were live. Another hitch here, depending on when you queue, you may have to wait a while. The European servers are fairly active so that may be your best bet. However, the North American servers don't seem to have many people playing until the afternoon Eastern time. This can of course be solved by more people picking up the game and trying it out, solely provided the servers, but they can't force people to play. The gameplay I experienced was much smoother than it used to be.  They have a multitude of heroes to pick from, and even though some of the abilities have changed, they still functioned well with good hit detection and responsiveness. Minions did get stuck on terrain at times, but they acted like they should for the most part. Same with towers. They only locked onto you if you attacked an enemy hero while you were in tower range, or if you just jumped under there without minions. The jungle is quite nice with all the old favorite paragon buffs, including the river bugs and the gold buff. They even added a gold buff to the offlane jungle. Fangtooth is back, as well as or prime. They also have the prime dunk mechanic in the game. Taking or prime gives a little ball on your side much like when you take a jungle buff, and you can dunk that on the side lanes for either defensive or offensive support depending on where you dunked it. The offensive dunk will actually cause the or prime guardian to push your mid lane, which is a little overpowered, but kinda cool all the same. The item system was pretty standard and used the old card points from Paragon for purchasing items, but all heroes had access to all items, which is nice. The items did function more like standard MOBA items with one tier upgrading into another. The overall game is very fast. You gain levels and card points quickly. Movement and attack speed are also souped up. As I mentioned before, if you like the later iterations of Paragon, you'll probably like over prime. As far as the bad things I've noticed, there were a few areas in the map where I would get stuck or it just seemed like I was getting caught on invisible outcroppings. The targeting reticle seems to be way too offset as well. Aiming took some getting used to. Also don't like some of the ability indicators, like for Shibby's line beat. The AoE indicators are also a little odd and can be hard to maneuver around when trying to place an ability uphill. Animations can be very awkward. This really seems like you're running on a picture of the map instead of the actual map. I think this is due to the speed at which they add new heroes. Over prime has a massive roster, but it seems to have come at the cost of polish. I've seen many people describe over prime as janky and I tend to agree. It all feels like it's almost there, but not quite. The sound effects are straight garbage. No sugar coating that one.  So there you have it. Over prime today isn't perfect, but it's 1,000 times better than it was a few months ago. If you tried this one and didn't find it to your liking, I suggest you pick it up again and give it a go. Soul Leave are offering a Paragon-like experience to anyone who wants to play, and they are giving it to you for free. Even if you have Fault or you just got lucky enough to pick up a predecessor key, I urge you to give it a try for yourself. If you don't like it, just move on.

in this world is home you're thinking of best you know and in hand let's celebrate our country the best we have to give we feel so proud to be st. lusion in paradise we live and we all have to work together to serve the land we love wherever you may roam in good morning my name is Rihanny Isidore i'll be your moderator for the next half an hour as we officially declare open the nomination period for the national awards uh investor ceremony scheduled for next year this discussion joining me will be members of the national awards committee and of course this committee is chaired by mrs morisia tomas francis also joining us are mrs malika compton and of course miss charan e-frame so the media launch is now it is live and let's discuss mrs morisia tomas francis the national awards committee what are some of the functions of this committee yes good morning viewers good morning Rihanny good morning fellow panelists and members of the media good morning i'd like to especially recognize the permanent secretary in the prime minister's office mrs ester um rigobert and of course miss louis imam louis secretary of the national awards committee thank you very much yes the national awards committee is nominated by the governor general and the committee is charged with the responsibility of participating in such an event the launch and also to sensitize the public as to how to go about nominating persons in the community who've gone over and above the call of duty to serve their fellow citizens persons who have served meritoriously and with a clean the committee has a very important role because quite apart from launching and quite apart from sensitizing we are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that we receive nominations and that the nominations are at the quality the requisite quality and when i say quality i mean that they meet the criteria for the various categories of award and that the forms the nomination forms are complete in the manner that is required such that we can adjudicate and select the best we as a committee we we were specifically selected to ensure that there is fairness in the process we have a team of illustrious individuals on the committee and if you permit me i will just let you know who the members are right away please of course as you know you've mentioned i'm chair of the committee we have a representative from the public service commission so chair of the public service commission mr cyrus reynolds is the one serving in that capacity we also have a member representing the opposition and this is in the person of miss malika compton notice she's wearing yellow this morning yes in her role of course um sharon e frame is representing the government side we also have the commissioner of police who also serves on the committee and mr wilbert king former deputy chair and also former public service commissioner so he's serving on the committee but this time around because he's not the chair of the public service commission he's representing the general public so in a sense it's a seven-member committee and i'm sorry i am i forgot my madam secretary imam louis she's secretary of the committee and it's very diverse a healthy mix of individuals from various backgrounds all in the pursuit of ensuring that there is fairness with the selectivity fairness and objectivity yes so now that the nomination process is open and this this this process is not new it's it's on an annual basis that is correct but um we can still discuss perhaps the eligibility factor so to speak what kinds of saint lucians or who are eligible to be nominated is there is there any special category of persons yes at this point in time i will invite my miss compton to go through that process sorry miss compton yes sorry okay so we're seeking all citizens of st lucia they can seek out persons who have born above and beyond throughout their communities unsung heroes to select them for those awards we first of all we have the st lucia cross it's only awarded in gold a person who has rendered distinguished and outstanding service of national importance to st lucia we have the st lucia medal of honor which may be awarded in gold and silver a person who has rendered eminent service of national importance to st lucia a person who has performed an outstanding brave a human act a person who acts of who has performed acts of bravery and hazardous circumstance we have the st lucia medal of merit which can also be awarded in gold and silver a person who has performed long and meritorious services in the arts literature science or other such fields in st lucia we have the st lucia lepeton medal which may be awarded in gold silver or bronze persons who have performed long and meritorious services to st lucia tending to promote loyal public service national welfare to inculcate and strengthen community spirit we have the national service cross and the national service medals the national service cross of the order of st lucia is called the national service cross sorry may be awarded in connection with the order only to an officer of the royal st lucia police force not below the rank of assistant superintendent an officer of the fire service not below the rank of deputy fire chief or an officer of the prison service not below the rank of deputy chief prisons officer who has rendered lawyer and devoted service beneficial to st lucia the national service medal of the order of st lucia heron called the national service medal may be awarded for outstanding and meritorious service to members of the royal st lucia police the st lucia fire services the st lucia prison services and commissioned officers or a cadet okay so those categories pretty much cover the entire society of various disciplines and you use the word that i i like the unsung heroes right so this process this nomination process does not discriminate so whether it's an individual and you can intervene and and clarify further an individual who perhaps served in a community as a gardener and and their job and their duties they've conducted themselves in a in a in a meritorious manner that person may be eligible to be nominated absolutely all right and of course including members of the services and etc okay so where can the general public access those forms okay so thank you riani for that question also i would like to say good morning to st lucia no nomination forms can be accessed on the following http governor general dot gov t dot lc slash owners dash a and d dash awards let me say that again http governor general dot gov t dot lc slash owners h o n or s dash a and d dash a w a r d s owners also we have them at accountant general's department and sub offices they can also be collected at central library and district libraries they are the general post office and district post offices also you can find them at the office of the prime minister fifth floor grayham louisie administrative building forms have been submitted as well we have already submitted those forms to the diaspora embassies and consulate offices service clubs statutory boards members of parliament and the senate ministers and constituency councils throughout st lucia so now the diaspora is also entitled to be nominated so this is not exclusive to st lucia's living in st lucia miss tomson it's not not at all not at all so every year we invite nominations not only from persons who live in st lucia but nominations from people from the diaspora and over the years we have received a number of nominations from across st lucia as well as the diaspora and the number of solutions have been so honored so today we are asking for nominations to be submitted in the usual fashion and i must tell you that we are very heartened with the increased number of nominations that we have received in recent years last year we received an unprecedented number of nominations and we took a lot of sleepless nights to go through and adjudicate on those nominations and to select we had so many we wish we could have honored everybody we had a lot of good ones however we have quotas and i think you i don't know if in her submission i don't think she mentioned the quotas but we do have some quotas that we are guided by so we can get back to the quotas but we can get back to those quotas just out of curiosity i think it's important that the general public know what the quotas are yes and before we get to the quotas so in the event that someone is nominated for example this year yes perhaps it's they were not awarded in the subsequent year is it still possible to nominate this individual again certainly and that's a very very good question um person because of the quota system that we have to comply with sometimes you have very good nominations but we are not able to fulfill all of them so we always ask the public to ensure that if the nominations do not win in one year they can resubmit the following year um some people believe that the committee will just keep the forms and adjudicate on them again in the new season but it doesn't happen that we reapply we inviting them to reapply and then mrs ifrim you mentioned that these forms can be obtained not just on the internet because not everyone is internet savvy so to speak so the average person if they so chooses a tool they can visit a library where else were some of the other locations the other locations are constituency council offices as well as um the service clubs say example the rotary club the lions club the kiwanis club all of those clubs they would have forms as well um the general the central library um well i said that already the counter general's department office of the prime minister which is at the fifth floor grayham louisie administrative building let me also say rehani that completed nomination forms must be sent in a sealed envelope addressed to the secretary national awards committee care of office of the prime minister grayham louisie administrative building waterfront castries and i also want to add that or they can also be submitted online at recognition dot gov t dot lc all nomination forms must be made on the prescribed form and all submissions must provide justification for the award proposed and must bear the name and signature of the individual making the submission now for the in the past we have received forms that they forget to put the name or they forget to sign yeah what happens then those forms will not be um accepted will be disqualified because we need all information possible both name and signature must be legible legible sorry nomination forms must be completed in the entirety okay don't leave anything out on the form remember deadline for submission of nomination forms is i think that was yeah that may be sometime in december sometime in december so the date will be the night of december around the night from december yes nominations received after the deadline will not be considered okay so we will be informing persons throughout the various media houses we will be going on and remind persons of the deadline for nomination forms etc okay now let's talk a little bit more about what's what's on those forms what sort of information if you were to nominate someone uh what sort of information will be required to be filled out on those forms okay so maybe the details of nominee you have the name of the person um surname in capital capital letters mr mr smith etc the full name in capital letters the date of birth nationality address the phone number and the email address okay and then you also have a word recommended you must tick the box of the award that you are um nominating the person for such as the senator cross senator middle of honor senator middle of merit senator little peter middle whether it's gold whether it's silver or whether it's bronze i want to jump in here and uh go to you chairperson how does the average person know which category or which which which middle category the candidate should be chosen for good question um we painstakingly go through a process to make sure we educate and sensitize the public so quite apart from this laundry we are sharing all this information we also do um road shows we go to the various media houses we go to the different communities to make sure we educate and sensitize so i want the public to know that over the coming weeks we are going to be on the various the talk show programs right talk show programs radio programs will be visiting the communities and what have you and of course uh to provide that kind of guidance absolutely if you need if you're not sure as to what what category a particular candidate may be eligible or maybe have an opportunity to to uh to be nominated in so miss comes and you the quarter sorry excuse me just to add the nomination form itself on the back of it provides the categories the classes and the the criteria for each so it's on the back of the form so the general public is so guided in addition to the information that we will be sharing you mentioned quarters earlier how many persons or how many uh nominations are acceptable per category okay so we have the st lusia cross the governor general may award the st lusia cross to no more than three persons in one year we have the medal of honor the governor general may award the st lusia medal of honor to no more than three persons in any one class we have the medal of merit and it's the same as the medal of honor there's no more than three persons in that class then we have the le pito medal it's no more than three person in each one class because we have three classes in that set up here we have the national service cross no more than one person in any one year and we have the national service medal no more than four persons in any one year okay that's all right that that put shed some clarity but that has nothing to do with the volume of applications or nominations you have to absolutely so you recall i mentioned earlier on that we we've been receiving trim i think last year we received almost a hundred if not more than that yes and of course you heard the quote it's not a lot it's not a lot and persons sometimes who nominate they get disappointed when they do not win but um the quota is strict and we have no choice but to abide by that but again i remind citizens that they can resubmit you can resubmit in the subsequent years and it's interesting because um once there are these these various categories very broad um what what another frequent question that comes to mind is uh i have like i have a candidate in mind um and perhaps the form doesn't allow me to really detail why i think this candidate is eligible our is the public allowed to include additional information about the particular candidate this this is a very good question and i'm glad you are raising it um there's supposed to be an element of surprise in the submission of the nomination so in other words the person nominating should not alert the individual being nominated that they have been nominated but of course they need to get information right to submit and um in the submission we do not expect to have just a CV of the individual um because the CV might be easy to get but at the same time we prefer you know give us some kind of of narrative on what the person has accomplished in so it's about getting interviews done asking around in the communities to find out what exactly the person has done um you so so public knowledge is very important community knowledge community engagement to to get the information to ensure that the individual doesn't know that it's so people like that element of surprise must be there and i was gonna ask what people like miss Compton and miss e-frame would be going out into the communities to conduct those interviews or how would that happen how would that gathering no we don't get involved as a committee we have a hands-off approach okay our role is to receive nominations review them make sure they ask they are within the criteria and make a determination as to who qualifies and who doesn't qualify that's our role we do not go in the community and suggest who should get a nomination now i want to make another point on on on on nominations some persons in the community after the investiture you have comments that so and so got an award so and so doesn't deserve what about so and so and so and so at the end of the day like i said the committee don't nominate anybody and if somebody who is more deserving not the public believes is more deserving did not submit a nomination there's no way we can determine well mr x in the community should have gotten it over mr y because we just don't get involved in that aspect of things so we are saying to the public if you know they are deserving persons who have rendered meritorious service and deserve a nomination and deserve honor please take the time and nominate them what happens for example if it has ever happened before when a particular candidate or nominate a nominee there it gets to a point where it's there's there's a conflict on the committee a certain amount a certain number of a member a certain number of the company would like to award a particular individual as opposed to you know the other side three out of four or three three on three is there how does that work if there is a a type maker is easy for him how does that work when that scenario happens yes if it happens thank you for that question we have actually experienced that already wow and we go back into the the application and we look at it again and see where in that application we can extract some things substantial from the individual to determine which person should get that award and we try our best to screen those applications with a fine to be fine very fine very fine and then we come back everybody come back and then we look at it we discuss it we debate on it and then we come to a conclusion okay so at no point in time yeah essentially if i may say that we we apply a democratic process yes in handling those kinds of situations so at the end of the day um you know we put put the nomination to a vote and you know the the the individual against the most votes end up winning winning and then try to be democratic and it's never been a case so it's not going to be a case where anyone outside of the committee may be required to no to okay no no no all right the role of the committee is to deal with the adjudication of the nominations exclusively and then generally the governor general what is his excellencies well let me just tell you the process of following the receipt of nominations and the adjudication um we submit our recommendations to the prime minister the prime minister then will engage the cabinet to approve our recommendations or their times when the prime minister and cabinet may decide okay um you know maybe there needs to be a little tweaking because at the end of the the prime minister does have the authority because all we are doing is recommending shortlisting shortly well recommending to him so very often we do not have significant changes sometimes you'll have one or two okay but um the prime minister has that right to determine that you know there could be some tweaking so the nominations go to the prime minister cabinet would review and we will get a response from the prime minister's office saying hey this is our position and then from the prime minister's office the submissions are made to the governor general where that is where calls are made to the winners um you know investiture ceremony is organized and of course you know we announcements are made on independence day in terms of who the winners are and usually a week or two after independence the then the investiture ceremony is um takes place where you know the winners are honored they receive the medals and you know they celebrate and blah blah blah yes well that's I mean and the ceremony is often a very uh a very proud occasion very very proud the the winners are usually present family members it's the ceremony the ceremony is something it's something to to admire and appreciate yes yes the best among us you know community leaders community members etc and now we do actually have some highlights from last year's ceremony and the years gone by so I mean we'd like to invite you to take your attention to your screen our screen here the public you can just you know don't change that channel and we invite you to reflect on last year's investiture last year was quite quite the event absolutely at government house um I mean maybe I'm too young to remember but has the ceremony ever been at any or held at any other location other than government house yes indeed um in recent years we hosted the ceremony at at royal time and at sunders but that was strictly because the government house was on the repairs and on the renovations but ideally um that is the home of the national awards investiture ceremony reason being the governor general is a chancellor of the order and I think the opulence of government house makes for a fantastic venue and the most apt venue for such a prestigious event there are some people whom the only time they ever visit government house is when they receive an honor and I think it is a privilege and we need to continue to host these events at government house okay logistically sometimes it's a little difficult because you know you have to you know yeah number changes okay accommodate numbers and so but I believe we believe as a committee that it's it's the ceremony should continue to be house yes I don't I don't know what your thoughts are no I I agree the venue is ideal I think it is it is quite apt for the occasion but um in the event that persons are not not everyone can attend it's also going to be live streamed yes and as it has been the case in years gone by that is correct okay good so I mean we've covered a lot in in the half hour or coming up to a half hour of course there will be more sensitization as the months progress up to the announcement day has it been determined what day the the awardees will be officially notified no we have not determined that but the the prime minister there's a date that we have proposed such that the prime minister can get the nominations or the recommendations to the governor general and that is sometime in January okay okay so we usually give adequate time so that the notifications can go out so people can prepare themselves for what is to come speaking of adequate time and given that the trend in volume of nominations maybe you may need some more time maybe we need to advance this media launch and open the the process a little sooner to accommodate more applications are we heading in that direction yeah well I will say to you that they are members of the community who don't even wait until we launch to submit nominations um we have been receiving nominations throughout the year because some people know it's coming will they carry over into the official day I'm talking about for this season yes yes yes once investiture ends and the new season starts or even before it starts people submit nominations and that is fine we just put them on a file when we're ready to attend if we put all all all during in the park yes so so so that is how we how it is done now you know maybe other than the awardees the what we have some pictures you know maybe the average person there isn't a way of what it looks like the actual medals the medals the various categories so on your screens now in a few few seconds we can get an idea as to what they look like they will be pretty much what will be handed to the the awardees next year when when the ceremony is held and whilst that's being played on the screen there there they are by next in the next in the coming weeks what sort of work will this committee be engaged in next coming weeks what can we expect this e3 well we actually will be going out we have a list of media houses that we will be going out to to be able to inform the general public as to what is expected how they can go about submitting their nominations etc so we will be really busy throughout the coming weeks and yeah and i mean finally as we we wrap up it's clear and we will continue reminding the public where they can access these forms the internet post offices libraries etc constituency councils any phone numbers any any other forms of communication for queries miss thompson or thomas pardon me uh any any office numbers but if they are actually actually um yes the persons who need additional clarity can call the office of the prime minister and ask for the secretary of the national awards committee mrs imam lui and she will be able to provide additional information final question um why should the average solution what do i care about nominating their brother their sister family or community community member for this this particular award it's the right thing to do it's the right thing to do i think um it's both motivation you know it promotes um you know provides role model to other persons in the community to go out and do the same um it gives the nation an opportunity to say thanks to show appreciation and to celebrate persons who are selfless um we spoke about unsung heroes we have lots of them in our communities around the island and i believe we cannot boast about nation building if we do not honor the persons who actually go over and above the call of duty to excel and to serve and to provide the meritorious service in our various communities and um like i said when we talk about communities we're talking about not just sent lucha but our solutions in the diaspora that are doing tremendously good work out there so if i may i think we're coming down to the end yes yes um i want to take this opportunity to thank all those citizens over the years who have taken the time to submit nominations i am thanking those who have already sent nominations for this season and thanking in advance those who are going to be sending us during the course of the next few months i also would like to thank my committee tremendously we have an illustrious group and we work very very well together so i'd like to thank them for their hard work and to tell them how proud i am of the great work they've been doing um for the for the committee and for the nation at large i'd like to thank you as well opportunity on behalf of all three of us for the opportunity to this was fun this was very informative thank you all for for for making yourselves available to to continue to elucidate the public inform the public on this very very positive and nation building endeavor in my humble opinion so in lucha thank you for joining us this morning uh the media launch for the national awards comes to a close however the nomination process is open it extends or goes up until possibly the 9th of december the committee will of course uh provide updates between that time again thank you for tuning into the ntn channel and we look forward the committee looks forward to venting your nomination forms good morning to you and in hand let's celebrate our country the best we have to give we feel so proud
