The catchy and eclectic “Simple Man” is a classic Nomi track, if there was ever such a thing, and comes dangerously close to flirting with the mainstream pop.

HackMentalHealth 2018: “The Movement Has Begun”

Even as the workforce slowly recovers from the post-pandemic blues, massive layoffs are stressing an already stretched workforce. The sudden and massive layoffs have once again thrust many employees into a state of financial insecurity and uncertainty, further exacerbating the challenges they face. An X-Leap Research report nine out of 10 people are reporting early signs of mental health issues. In addition, titled, “Mental health and well-being in the workplace,” 80% of the Indian workforce has reported mental health issues in the previous year. Research shows that a person’s stress level is five out of ten when employed, but can rise to when healthy coping mechanisms are compromised. says according to Deloitte’s 2022 survey eight or higher Consequently, awareness is one of the latest trends in workplaces after the pandemic revealed its significance. Yesterday, , an Indian mental health platform conducted a mental health awareness camp for students in Kota, Rajasthan to address the escalating mental health concerns among students of engineering and medical preparation. mental health Lissun In March, , an Indian social gaming platform, tied up with , a tech-led omnichannel mental health platform to provide WinZO’s employees with access to mental health consultants and online counselling and therapy services, as well as to organise workshops to improve their understanding of user behaviour and build better products for its users. WinZO Amaha If you are innovating, you need to perceive the environment you operate in as psychologically safe Saumya Singh Rathore, co-founder, WinZO “If you are innovating, you need to perceive the environment you operate in as psychologically safe. A startup in itself is challenging because you are swimming against current. Lastly, we want our teams to understand this for themselves and for the consumer – an insight into feelings can be hugely enabling,” says Saumya Singh Rathore, co-founder, WinZO and a Masters in psychology. “The world post covid era has been very challenging to most. The world outside had survival threats to self and loved ones. The norms of society changed every few weeks and many of us were isolated, a way of life we are not used to. This only followed with many businesses going through an unstable cycle and layoffs everywhere,” she adds. Employers Must Step Up The state of the Indian employee has room for improvement. According to a from , an employee health insurance platform, Indian employers are falling short in offering comprehensive benefits; only 5% of Indian organisations offer comprehensive insurance coverage. report Plum Also, only 56% of Indian organisations offer maternity benefits to their female employees, with just 14% of them having a maternity limit greater than INR 50,000. Moreover, less than 2% of Indian companies offer OPD coverage with insurance. The uptick is telehealth consultation, which is the most popular at a 42% adoption rate. Employers are beginning to recognize the importance of mental health in the , and initiatives such as mental health awareness camps and access to mental health consultants are becoming more common. workplace As we move forward, it is crucial that employers prioritize the mental health and well-being of their workforce to help them cope with the ongoing challenges and build a healthier, more resilient workforce for the future.

We just cannot seem to catch a break. As we learn to live with one pandemic, it is becoming increasingly clear there is another pandemic looming. Many people endured once-in-a-lifetime changes in the last two years, and it has taken a toll on our mental health and collective psyche. For some, work has only exacerbated problems. About three out of five professionals in the U.S. (59%) do not believe their employer supports their mental health, according to a survey of 3,269 professionals on the Blind. Despite many employers’ recent investments in employee mental health, only 41% felt supported by their company. professional social network “Over the past two years, we’ve experienced a massive shift in how we work,” said , the director of people and culture at , a membership-based network for mental health care providers. “It’s no longer enough to say that workplace culture happens in the four walls and hundreds of desks of an office location.” Danielle Poonoosamy Alma Perhaps unsurprisingly, some companies that fared the worst in mental health have suffered everything from recent layoffs to employees upset with return-to-office plans or a lack of work-life balance. Nearly all of the professionals at T-Mobile (97%) said their employer does not support their mental health. Employees at , Goldman Sachs, and fared no better. Amazon Robinhood Tesla See full chart here. “Organizations have to be flexible, and they have to give their people flexibility in order to support their workforce,” advised Poonoosamy. What employers can do to support employee mental health Most large employers offer generous perks or robust employee benefits, many of which provide mental health support. However, Blind’s analysis found that the company benefits go unused by a majority of professionals. Employers could do a better job of educating their employees about the benefits available. Some 13% of employees at some of the largest and most well-resourced companies, including , DoorDash, JPMorgan Chase, PayPal and more, claim their companies do not offer any mental health benefits, even though many of these companies offer employee assistance programs or similar plans. Apple “I’m sure the U.S. employee benefits include an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) that offers free counseling/therapy sessions a few times a year to employees,” a verified Amazon professional shared with a struggling coworker on Blind. “I recommend it highly for those who need someone to talk to but aren’t sure if therapy is right for them.” A verified Goldman Sachs professional agreed on Blind, noting the availability of a similar program at the investment bank, which offers up to six free sessions with a therapist. “Talking to someone really, really helps in the period of time when you feel mentally overwhelmed even when you know what your problems are,” reflected the banker. Employee assistance programs provide assistance, check-ins, evaluations and referrals for personal situations ranging from adoption and family life to legal or wellness matters. Support is typically accessible at no cost to employees and select family or household members, according to the , a professional association for professionals. Society for Human Resource Management human resources Other companies redesigned employee benefits programs to give mental health and employee flexibility top billing. Alma gives its employees a monthly therapy stipend worth more than $1,400 a year to choose a personal therapist. The allowance is in addition to a monthly wellness stipend, which employees can use toward things like massages, workout classes or spa treatments. “We cannot define what mental health and wellness look like for our employees. Rather, we have to give them resources,” noted Poonoosamy, referring to the open-ended nature of the company’s employee benefits. Employees don’t use mental health benefits at work A majority of professionals surveyed by Blind (55%) have not used any mental health benefits offered by their employer in the last year. Some experts believe the stigmatization of mental health may be to blame. “As leaders, we need to normalize mental health and create an environment where people feel comfortable talking about it. At Alma, you’ll find employees across all levels block off an hour for therapy on their work calendar,” explained Poonoosamy. “When you see a vice president block off therapy on their calendar, you feel like you can do that too. It’s not only accepted; it’s also encouraged and celebrated.” Similarly, an overhaul or addition of new employee benefits may not be necessary. Companies might also want to consider making mental health part of everyday workplace conversations or take the time to better educate employees about existing policies, such as paid time-off, flexible work schedules or allowances for remote work. The result may reduce and better mental health. employee burnout “Mental health care is a basic human right,” said Poonoosamy. “When our employees are supported, everything else will fall into place. We’ll see they’re more engaged, more productive and more fulfilled at work.” The bottom line While many employers offer mental health benefits, often for no or low cost, most professionals have not used them in the last year, according to a new analysis from Blind. Employers could do more to educate their employees about the resources and policies in place to promote better mental health in the workplace. Methodology Blind conducted an online survey of 3,269 verified professionals in the U.S. on its platform from April 26 to 29, 2022, to understand employer support for mental health. Percentages reported may not add up to 100 due to rounding. Originally published on Teamblind's blog.

A simple and straightforward question like any other, except for the fact that any answer you give, apart from the most generic one, is bound to create ripples in every pond, digital or otherwise. For the sake of time and efficiency, we will define NFT shortly and link you to a dissident source. Generically, NFTs are , which is a term that, , describes “a cryptographic token that defines an asset uniquely”; in other words, it is a to a unique, often digital, asset. This asset, in turn, can represent a one-of-a-kind artwork (or multiple editions thereof), song, or video, or whenever you decide to attach to that individual reference. non-fungible tokens according to NFT News Today reference Due to that unique reference, it is possible to prove the authenticity of the asset attached to it. Dan Olson, the creator of the channel , brings in-depth analysis of what constitutes an NFT and what are, in his opinion, the downsides of the tech. He discusses the contradictions and criticism-averse side of NFT creators and self-proclaimed gurus, comparing the NFT fever to the financial crisis of 2008 surrounding mortgage-backed securities, “financial instruments that could be traded or collected based on a bundle of thousands of individual mortgages”. Folding Ideas Feeling ready? So now buckle up and let’s talk about the latest developments as of July 2022! What’s hot right now in the NFT fam? Every couple of months, especially following market price drops of cryptocurrencies (namely Bitcoin and Ethereum), people on Twitter, the extra-official communication platform for everything NFT-related, prophesize the end of Web3 and the death of the NFT community. That cycle has already happened at least at three different moments in 2022, and the market has survived and flourished after each. As of, and perhaps especially, today, we are experiencing the newest flourishing phase. New NFT projects continue to appear every day. In the wake of the recent Supreme Court of the United States decision to overturn Row v. Wade, at least in order to fund reproductive rights in the United States, all of them with different premises, from music and FoxNews screenshots to collage artworks. 5 projects stepped up On the social and educational side of NFTs, Division Street, a sports venture company that assists in the creation of marketing programs aiming to maximize revenue opportunities for the University of Oregon student-athletes, in partnership with Sedona Prince, Oregon Ducks basketball player, Lili Tae, graphic designer, and other fellow student-athletes, announced the named that aims to support the equitable futures of women student-athletes at the University of Oregon. upcoming launch of an NFT collection Visions of Flight Croix Soto’s 1 of 1 NFT Credit: Division Street The project, which consists of 12 unique NFTs based on the personalities of the partner athletes, claims that 75 percent of the proceeds from the sales will be split equally among the participating athletes, while the remaining 25 percent will be retained by Division Street in order to offset expenses, so don’t forget to check that out! Another exciting and yet dystopian novelty is Vitalik Buterin’s new Web3 pet project: (SBTs). Essentially, these SBTs are non-transferable tokens that store identity and reputation data, thus allowing an individual to verify their information (such as education, work history, credit score, medical history, etc) using blockchain technology. Although SBTs share most NFT characteristics, it differs in the fact that they are transferable. Also, unlike NFTs, institutions (by means of their private wallets) would be able to grant individuals (more accurately private wallets) achievements, such as the completion of a degree. There are, however, a myriad of obstacles currently hindering the effective implementation of SBTs. Two of the main issues to solve are the need to differentiate this from the Chinese social credit system, and a feature that would allow a user to hide or destroy/discard their SBT. Soulbound tokens not their On the entertainment front, following the initiative of other luxury car brands like Ferrari and Mercedes, the car manufacturer with hopes to better connect with its customers and occupy a share of the market already explored by its competitors. If you’re a fan, you can sign up for updates from Bentley ! Bentley is set to release a genesis NFT here This image was taken from the project's main page “But cars aren’t really my thing!” I hear you say - and not to worry, here is another long-expected project: Tomorrowland, a Belgian electronic dance music festival, has released more information regarding its new NFT collection, TBR July 15th! It consists of 6,500 collectibles minted in Solana, with about 1,500 NFTs on sale onsite at Tomorrowland Belgium for 3 SOL, . according to NFT News Today This image was taken from the original video teaser Notwithstanding, the rapper French Montana has also announced interesting details about his project called the , according to which each owner thereof will have associated rights to Montana’s album “Montega” - an alleged music album with unique digital and physical experiences that unlock through the collection of its exclusive NFT. French Family Membership NFTs collection What’s going on in the market One of the main factors concerning the European NFT market is the (EU) discussion of a new batch of regulations that would help combat money laundering activities tied to crypto assets, as well as establishing an authorization regime for crypto service providers. This new piece of regulation aims to set “legal jurisdiction over NFT creation and trading”, thus allowing legal bodies to prosecute individuals and entities attempting to scam investors and clients with “pump and dump”, “ ”, or any other types of schemes. European Union rug pull That movement in Europe, however, has not discouraged the market from continuing to do its own thing. A quick check at the latest shows that while the total volume of NFT sales has seen a decline in comparison to mid-January, the NFT sales volume was still able to reach what NFT News Today as a “healthy” $3.7 billion, which is in accordance with the whole of crypto assets decline and was nothing but expected. Chainalysis report characterizes Sure, your Bored Ape Yacht Club might have seen a recent decline in value, but with other collectibles around the corner, the market is sure to recover and possibly even renew its interest in the unenthusiastic primates. Two of the collections that pulled a lot of weight this year are and , though it would be foolish to not include and a project by Bored Ape Yacht Club called , a metaverse game that aims to include Apes, CryptoPunks, Meebits, Cool Cats and other NFTs. Moonbirds Okay Bears Goblintown Otherside ’s original art Goblintown The advent of P2E ( ) NFT games is yet another factor that is increasingly pushing the market forward, in fact, according to data collected by , “metaverse/gaming NFTs are the most common type of NFTs owned”, which corresponds to 35.8% of the NFT owners that took their survey (opposite to 27.% of owners that use NFT as profile pictures, 25.3% that acquire it as artwork, and 11.5% that listed other reasons). play-to-earn Coingecko Conclusion From that overview, it seems fair to affirm that NFTs, like it or not, are here to stay, and for what it’s worth, they do try to appeal to every taste: from social, political, and humanitarian causes, to art, music, gaming, and entertainment as a whole. And here is a final reminder, whether you use it to collect or flip art, variable collectibles, or gaming assets, you will also (likely) need to use a reliable wallet to keep your assets safe. While there are literally hundreds of options available to you, I like things that make my life easier, so my choice is . Its clean UI provides a better experience than most other options out there, and it allows me to not only quickly access my NFT collection but also to connect to any dApps on the main blockchains simply by scanning a QR code, which really comes in handy in a world of NFT game assets, for example.

Hey Hackers! I’m DoubleX and I’m currently a contract staff in the customer service industry. First of all, a huge thank you to the HackerNoon community and staff for nominating me for a 2021 Noonies award! I’ve been nominated in the following categories please do check out these award pages and vote: HackerNoon Contributor of the Year - architecture As someone currently outside of the IT industry but still interested in game development, I believe that one of the technologies that’ll change the future of gaming is because it can redefine the game industry once it becomes the trend. Learn more about my thoughts and opinions on game development and my journey in the tech industry via the interview below. my hybrid model of multiplayer games 1. What do you do and why do you do it? Before I go outside of the IT industry, I was an android, iOS, web, and sometimes, database programmer(I touched both front-end and back-end and even some driver codes), focusing on making apps and sites for my company’s own use and its customers’ projects, and those customers are mainly in the retail industry. As one of my main interests has been programming since I was a teenager, I thought I could be well-adapted and even love at least some programming jobs, so I worked as a full-time professional programmers in 2 different companies for around 2.5 years in total. But the reality taught me that, even as an entry-level programmer working for entry-level jobs, I’m still far from ready to work effectively and efficiently enough in the real world as my competence can only manifest in ideal environments, so I decided to work outside the IT industry and keep programming as my most passionate hobby, all after I failed to properly sustain myself in those 2 programming jobs. 2. Tell us more about the things you create / write / manage / build! Most of my programming works are and scripts/plugins, but I also have some pet projects like , , and , which are all just little toys for me to experiment with ways of organizing and structuring codes that are new to me. My most complicated and convoluted project until now is plugin of RPG Maker MV, and it aims to be the most advanced and sophisticated ATB system ever, even though it’s still far from being finished. I haven’t personally built any commercial projects on a professional level yet, but I’m content with those projects I’ve already made for my learning progress, and maybe one day I’ll build something that can solve some important real world problems 😃 RPG Maker VX Ace, RPG Maker MV RPG Maker MZ HTML5 Chess HTML5 Minesweeper HTML5 Sudoku HTML5 Tic-Tac-Toe an ATB system 3. How did you end up on your current career path? Do you like it? I ended up being outside of the IT industry to ensure I won’t become hating programming altogether by keeping programming as a hobby rather than a profession, so I explored some other industries and I’m fortunate enough for my current employer, whose company is about front-line customer services, to employ me as an officer. I not only never regretted my choice, but actually still like it because it opened my eyes by broadening my horizons, and more importantly, by forcing me to develop some parts of myself that are almost dormant for nearly 30 years, so now I felt like a much more complete person than before. 4. What tech are you most excited or passionate about right now and why? So far, the only tech(if it can be called so) that I’ve researched deep enough to be truly passionate about is in games, even though I don’t think I’m an expert in this yet(and I wonder if it needs an expert at all). I’m so interested in this not only because I find this system exciting and fun, but also because it has so much potential that aren’t realized by perhaps all ATB systems implemented in published games around the world. So I want to push the limits of this system by , and that implementation(which is far from being finished) aims to have all the features, freedom and control that can be provided by such a system. ATB systems implementing it myself 5. What tech are you most worried about right now and why? Fortunately, I’m not really worried about any particular tech right now, maybe because I don’t have a thorough comprehension of any of them yet. But sometimes I do have some very far-fetched dark fantasies about AI due to my lack of mastery in this field, as I feel that after several decades, it’s possible for AI to become advanced and sophisticated enough to replace just about all people in the job market, especially when AI can have genuine emotions, rewrite itself and even produce some other new AIs(meaning that AI becomes capable of reproduction all by itself). While I believe that AI itself is good for the humanity and will never be intended to do any evil to humans by itself, those 1% of the population who can control the AI will have great incentives to use it to eliminate the other 99%, because to the former the latter are no longer useful assets, but just mere liabilities that must be disposed as soon as possible. On the flip side, those remaining 1% will feel like living in the heaven, because they don’t have to do most jobs in the world anymore, due to those AI doing all these for them, so maybe my dark fantasies about AI, even if they were to be realized, isn’t really 100% bad(but still very bad) for the mankind, especially when the world is obviously so over-populated. However, I still think that it’s better not to have such dark fantasies realized, because the sacrifices of those 99% would be far too great just to benefit those 1%, and I do sincerely hope that those of my dark fantasies are all but impossible. 6. If we gave you 10 million dollars to invest in something today, what would you invest in and why? I think I’m going to invest it(at least partially) into the professional e-Sports in my city, because I believe that it had quite some talents that could have been shone in the world, but the lack of consistent financial supports and reliable future after retirement were what primarily drove them off from the e-Sport stages. While there are already quite some companies investing millions on that, I think some extra money can further help developing e-Sports in my city, because it just has so much potential that it’s better not to be just wasted. Also, one of my past dreams was to become a professional e-Sport athlete myself(in my case it was Counter-Strike 1.6), and although I didn’t pursue that dream mainly due to my serious lack of aptitude, it was also partially due to the sheer risk of abandoning my academics, which would almost take all my time if I were to have good academic results, so I’d be glad if those millions I invested can help some talents to have enough courage to pursue their e-Sports dreams. 7. What are you currently learning? Currently my interest is psychology used on my personal growth, and I learn such knowledge not only from books and internet articles, but also from my personal real world experience, mainly through my daily front-end customer service jobs. For instance, I’ve learnt personality systems like and for years, and combined with the wisdom I learnt through my life first hand, they helped me a lot on finding my own blind spots and ways to foster my personal growth. Other than that, I’ve no specific focus on learning, and that means I’ll sometimes learn something useful from some random internet articles, sometimes learn some others through my personal observations of events around me, and sometimes learn some new stuffs from those I interact directly with. Enneagram MBTI 8. What’s the best advice you’ve ever given someone? As I don’t recall giving advice to anyone(I prefer helping the others to find their own advice rather than giving mine to them directly), and it seems to me that I’ve been the one who’s constantly receiving advice, I’m afraid that I don’t have much to talk about on this one 😃 9. What’s the best advice you’ve ever received? I think it’s that, I should be more aware of my thought process, bodily feelings and the states of my emotions(and thus be more present on the moment), with ways to increase such awareness, because to me it’s the foundation to apply many other good advice on myself. If those other good advice are like very useful apps on an OS, then the increased awareness is like a much needed upgrade of the OS itself from the faulty, outdated counterpart that is waiting to collapse. Since I’m a teenager, I’ve been exposed to psychology with the advice of increasing awareness, and thorough the years I felt that I’ve become much, much healthier psychologically than before, mainly thanks to this advice and my persistence on practicing it myself.
