And it is my great pleasure to welcome everybody for the fifth of a series of annual lectures in honor of and as a result of the generosity in the vision of Sheke Fatima. And we are very focused on the importance of including all voices and in particular, including women at the table. Being at the table means really that you are a part of whatever is happening in a community or society.   Your voice is heard. That is a table that reflects the full diversity of whoever is in that community. But to reach in a piece, we need to understand we are almost all of us the same. The conflict by which we kill each other, in reality, it doesn't exist. Well, it means a lot to bring these great women leaders together, to share thoughts, to inspire each other, and to empower our societies. I think by allowing us to provide our knowledge and our skills and our ability and our experience to our leaders, we're able to help define a little bit better how we approach local citizens and nationals, regardless of what country that we're in. When we first imagined the Sheikah Fatima lecture series, we really wanted to find some kind of metaphor that helped us reflect women's roles in peace building. And we thought the kind of symbolic getting women to the peace tables was really a good way to begin organizing this series of lectures. nun has officially recognized the imperative of integrating women into the peace process, passing a resolution, calling for a women's role in every aspect of peace building, including, so importantly, having women at the table. Women have to be encouraged to be security allies. I think women, particularly mothers, are the most important security allies, building a future peace architecture bottom up, which is very sustainable because it has this broad base. Each of the women you'll meet today are moving the world toward peace. With the final Sheikah Fatima lecture, we wanted to expand the lens of what we mean at the table. If you think of being at the table, it is really being a full participant with the opportunity to be a leader in whatever walk of life you choose. As a woman leader, you like to think that you are contributing in the broadest sense, not just as a woman, but because you have something to offer that particular topic. I come from a background where I did the weightlifting as a sport. It's a very male dominated sports. So first of all, it was not very accepted for a woman, but they don't realize that sports is sport. And it really helps women become more empowered, realize that they have their own inner strength that they can live by. You know, we feel like that same power of sport can bring people together. So sport is bringing peace to communities all over the world. We have invited a number of women who aren't necessarily thinking that they are doing peace building kind of work. And yet in essence, they really are. They're doing it through their work in law, through science, sports, and as a part of military. And we thought this was important to really amplify the fact that to be a peace builder, you don't have to be in the field of peace building. Science simply help people to understand how peaceful we are by nature. We take 22 chromosome from our mother, 22 chromosome from our father. The 44 chromosome will define you as a human. While those other two lift chromosome, they will define you as a male or female. So that's what makes us different. Only one chromosome. I'll talk about a leader from Morocco. Her name is Nawal El-Mudumakil. And she is a fellow Olympic gold medalist in the hurdles. She was the first Moroccan woman ever to win a medal in the Olympic Games. Goes back to Morocco, obviously hailed as a heroine. And now she's on the International Olympic Committee and has made a lot of strides with the IOC with regard to women in leadership. And so if you want to arm a woman with the requisite leadership qualities, the skills and the confidence to lead and be a force, sport is a great way to arm her with those skills. I think from a military perspective, women at the table talks a lot to our ability to go into areas that necessarily the general public would not be able to go to. I had the opportunity to deploy to Afghanistan and allowed us to go out to an orphanage and be able to work with very young children, specifically females, to talk with them and work with them. Their ideas of their future were so amazing and so innovative. They were, I want to be a doctor, I want to be a veterinarian, I want to work in astrophysics. And it was so amazing to hear these little girls say that. But most women, they need to know more about the rights. They need to know how to practice the right. I think I present the woman in my field and as a woman also how to translate all the law and give it so they can use it. I can be a voice for women in sports in the Middle East and what it means to me is opening the door for women to realize that they have a path. Having women in the Air Force and Air Defence actually had a huge impact on opening new doors for ladies, not only in UAE. We have to create new strategies to become more inclusive and smarter than we are now. And imagine if we are all alike externally, it will be so boring. So the difference between us, which is a very minor thing, that's what makes us unique. And I believe the science should play a bigger role nowadays in peace process. Let's make sure that they respect each other difference and draw a line where we can work together. I think it's important in the industry to have diverse voices at the table, but particularly women. I think women come with a certain amount of humanity and a certain amount of insight into kind of personal issues and issues of society that men sometimes might overlook. This building is very much a collective enterprise. It starts at the home front, and the frontrunners are those who educate at home, in the families, in the schools, but at the same time we need this collective approach. I believe that the role of the woman is great, especially that she is the leader of the family and she can raise her kids to be good citizens and also inspire through her work, other women, other young men also around her to follow her lead. So much of what we do every day, certainly here at the U.S. Institute of Peace, is to broaden our scope and understanding about the importance of inclusion. If I look back over my career, that one thing that has made a big difference is the example to girls or other women who may have encountered barriers in their quest to be metaphorically at the table and other women who are there, who are able to have a voice, perhaps even lead the conversation, helps them understand that they can do it. They can be at the table.


hey guys welcome to snow break containment zone and we're here to answer the question if snow break is no longer dying so right now they aren't for now for now but um just want to go back a few months um few months since launch uh july 20th today basically is uh no it's not today but a few days ago was the sixth month period of the game i was wondering if they would turn it around by the sixth month because um up until after the update for um i think for haru for the five star haru things have been kind of stagnant and it kind of was a bit dragging nothing new really um aside from new characters but again it's not really holding the game together and uh one by one players have been leaving players don't think that the game will last but right now they've done a lot of good things that have redeemed themselves they have redeemed themselves really um but this is just for now which is really right after the kacha update and the other updates so again more or less right now they have hit the spot on all of the things that they are supposed to do also guys we do have some you know we do have player engagement with the devs as well um this is recently or recently happened this happened on january 20 or 19 again depending on your you know on the time zone or where you are but again with this new engagement we have more information we'll talk about this in a while so i'm gonna go back to my previous thought in terms of um how they did it they kind of created new characters characters in the forum tests and katya with kind of a cultured cultured thing so um with you know it it really excited the player base some of the players actually came back to those who have stopped some new players were actually sniffing around and seeing and like to see what actually is happening or what is exciting what is the fuss all about which is definitely the kacha update so also they have a new permanent game mode in play which is paradoxial labyrinth also again not perfect at this point um a lot of tweaks here and there um they missed a couple of things which i will not talk about um in this short summary my actually my best guess right now is that will this continue will this wave of new insight new content new new new line of thinking in terms of the devs and how to create content for the game will this be escalated will this be retained that we will have to know for the next few months up leading up to the one year anniversary on july 2024 okay let's go to the news update this one is a news war courtesy of um snowbreak.gg so thank you guys for this earlier today this refers to january 20 there was a kind of a developer live stream most of these live streams take place uh with the cn version or cn market so these are the summary of the stream on the conclusion just gonna highlight more or less what we have here improvements on crossbow this is regarding the alternate fire the miss shot so they still have to repair repair or improve that shot i don't like that shot unique products buffs for katya this is what i mean when they still need to perfect the product it's weird because katya doesn't have buffs for that game so this we will have to look forward to adjustments to enemy spawn rates in that labyrinth as well adding other types of environmental environments for paradox elaborate but would be a welcome you know improvement continual continuous improvements on character models on top of those done in previous updates right now what i see is the characters are not the same the artwork starting from the first one no not the artwork the design from the first one going to the current one is not really does not really make sense it's too different so i think they should optimize optimize and probably clean things up okay so that is what my line of thinking is um especially for me the default the default skins usually don't look much especially for the earlier model except for a few though so again we have a special mail from operatives on their birthdays which also include opal vouchers improve controls for crossbow mode which is actually important as well this one is reopening of global chat after server improvements this is for cn server basically i'm on global server so and also these are small things that we could hope to see in the future if you want to see the whole thing guys the whole news that we're discussing just go to snowbreak.gg you can check out news there on the current updates for snowbreak so these were mentioned but not in the official summary so mail logistics officers will have their art portfolio profiles redone in order to change them into female um my opinion here is i think this is great but it's not really important for me i'd rather they they they optimize the operatives themselves no longer touching the logistics so plans to add a bridal and schoolgirl outfit to um it's in high demand so this is not a qualm this is not a shock to me because this used to be the theme as well in another game that i played a bridal and schoolgirl outfit so again looking forward to that more developer streams in the future to you know probably get more feedback from the players an outfit showcase room these are you know small things that may appeal to some may not appeal to some but would be okay but again i would rather have them focus on more content for the game and probably more tweaks in the operatives themselves more more interactions probably the dorm you know um probably i don't know role playing perhaps if they could have conversations with with different responses i don't know so no current plans for a female adjutant model which i think i like at this point um i don't think they need a female adjutant model um because in terms of um the scenes the cut scenes it's usually the male model and there are a lot of interactions with him so i don't think that's important at this point the one that i am you know looking forward to are game optimizations new content exciting characters great character designs great outfits because i think that's the winning formula at this point so um the next few updates will be crucial it would be hard to top the current one with it which is katia it was actually hard to top the haru update um katia will be tough to top again so it will be it will be interesting on what they put out next month which is february after this update um again a lot of players have come back a lot of new players have come in because they're very curious about katia which who wouldn't be curious about her anyway so so excited what they could what they could cook up and more or less this would be again a lot of pressure for the devs to be on their toes as they try to you know make sure that this game's trend moves upward no longer goes down um i'm glad that at the sixth month they did this and really hoping that this game goes far far long so thank you very much guys again comment in the comment section take care stay safe there's the warden and i'm out of here
