Last week I said don't encrypt your passwords hash them and add a bit of soul And this was really good because I started to get a lot of feedback a lot of people said oh That was really cool the way you explain it. Of course. It was I explained it a lot of people suggested alternative techniques such as quantum cryptography and zero knowledge encryption and this is all great stuff One of the most common comments I got was what happens when a user forgets their password because it's hashed and so You can't send them their password And that's the whole point of it. You're not meant to send the user their password So what do you do when a user forgets their password normally I prefer approach a bit like this Okay, now if your company policy prohibits something like that which I have no idea why they would not want to go with it But you know HRR sometimes people resort to their Asking secret questions secret questions as such to answer things so they'll say oh you've forgotten your password What's your email address you put in your email address and say okay?  That's really secret isn't it all mothers made a name or day of birth And this is all things that anyone who's your friend on Facebook or not even your friend on Facebook Can find out so so there's not really a lot of value in that Gaining access back to an account which you've forgotten a password There are lots of different ways you can do this and I don't know why end up talking about passwords every time because there are so many different ways and schools of thoughts It's it's a raises a lot of controversy a lot of times, but this is the last time I'm going to be talking about passwords So if I ever make another video about passwords You know feel free to buy me a lemon cake. That's my weakness Lemon cakes. Yeah, I they're like torture to me Or crispy cream donuts. So what you could do this is Get a user to enter the email address and say I've forgotten my password and then email them a tokenized URL now Don't display anything on the screen saying that this is valid or not valid Even if it's a wrong password because you don't want someone going through and harvesting and finding out what? legitimate emails and user IDs so always send a response even if the response is like You're wrong and Then said it so that it expires within a set period of time one hour to three hours or something like that And make it so that it's only one time only so I want to use a clicks on it You go to it and just reset your password using the standard reset function that's built into your application which should be secure as opposed to a new function and then Allow the user to change the password that way and then log in using the new password and once they've done this Email them a confirmation saying you asked for a password reset and here you've successfully changed your password And if it was not you that requested this password reset, then call up the help desk and we'll go Medieval on somebody well, no, they're probably just suspend the account and Let you reset it again just to end up and like I said, this is probably going to hopefully the last time I'm going to be talking about passwords because I get shot down a lot every time I talk about passwords And security is more than just passwords by it's that big element from a user perspective is Passwords are dead. Yeah, you shouldn't be talking about passwords. Anyway, two-factor authentication is the way to go now that's an interesting theory because passwords really aren't dead and they're not going to be dead why because From a security perspective, yes, we might say yet they're weak Users are prone to forgetting them.  They're a relic. They're thing of the past. They're the mummies. They're the goons They're like the dodo. They gain the way of the dinosaur and we can say all of that and security I think no one who's really keen about security will disagree with it. However Passwords are used to secure applications that are run by a business and these are generally a business decision Businesses aren't interested in making their apps 100% secure They just want to make it secure enough and convenient enough so that their customers can log in and Conduct the business and generate their money If they started implementing 2FA or biometrics and everything into everything, okay They might be more secure, but they're probably going to alienate a lot of customers to start off with okay You could argue okay. They'll be a learning curve and eventually everyone will come to But the other big thing is that it costs a lot of money Passwords are really cheap to maintain you can have a web app and a database and something built into it that handles your Password securely or insecurely, but it's very quick and simple and you can get it up and running you implement 2FA Even if it's not a totally you either have to buy a tokens to configure it Send it out to the user make sure the user doesn't lose it manage it like that or You even if it's like a soft token, so they it's a software they install of their Mobile phone or something it's still another layer of cost and licensing and administration And if that if you run a website that that you know use log user sign up to and then never bother coming back to That's a lot of tokens you've issued and set up that no one's ever going to use again So until there's a strong business case Businesses aren't going to be away from there And that's how They're going to stay secure my friends


busy morning. If you didn't know, I am filming on November 18th Friday. I'm pre-filming a little bit my what I eat in a day because my friend is flying in from Australia on Monday and will be here for Thanksgiving and then I'm actually meeting her in New York the beginning of December. So I'm doing a little bit of pre-filming so that I can really just spend quality time with her when she's here. So I'm filming on November 18th Friday my birthday. So I went to the gym this morning as you saw. I had an incredible, incredible workout, came home, finished my protein coffee and now I'm ready for some breakfast because I'm hungry. However, I've been getting asked a lot about what collagen I put in my coffee. I do put a scoop of collagen and two tablespoons of just better fiber in my coffee every single morning and for the last, I would say maybe two years or longer, I've actually been using the collagen for her brand and I've actually shared this quite a bit on my channel. I know not everybody watches every video, so I've been getting a lot of questions about this particular collagen, why I choose this collagen.  Where if I buy vital proteins at Costco, not only is that collagen made for everybody and it's not a small business, I can buy a collagen made specifically for me for women and support an amazing, amazing small business in the process. So this has been my go-to as you know for the last couple of years and then within the last, I don't know, two months or so, I've also incorporated the Marine Collagen Beauty Gummies. You can see my bottle is just about empty and this is actually my third bottle of gummies. So in the morning, I put a scoop of the collagen in my coffee and I take two of the Marine Collagen Gummies. These are great for hair, skin, nails, skin elasticity as we lose weight helps our skin bounce back so we can avoid as much loose skin as possible.  This is just the regular collagen for her collagen. Same collagen that's in the big tub but these are individual to go packets.  It's one measure out serving. I love these. These are going in my suitcase when I go to New York at the beginning of December and this is another collagen for her product I always have stocked in my house. Now of course they have a lot of amazing products on their website. I've used some of their skincare products. I also use their Beauty Marine Collagen sometimes I'll flip-flop between this collagen and the Beauty Collagen. They just have such a wide array of quality collagen products and good news is I just got an email that they're having an amazing amazing black Friday sale. So on the collagen for her website you get 20% off all products using the code Black Friday 20 plus you're gonna get a free bottle of the Marine Collagen Beauty gummies with any purchase over $70. So that's these gummies. You're gonna get these for free and like I said I take these every day so you can stock up on your collagen, you can grab the little to-go packs, you can try the Beauty Collagen. They also sell collagen for her on Amazon and for the Amazon deal Wednesday through Cyber Monday the Unflavored Collagen which is the one that I use is going to be 20% off so it's 29.58 and the Marine Collagen is also 20% off making it 29.58. So depending on how much you want to purchase if you go to their website directly if you spend $70 you get the free gummy. So that may be a better deal than Amazon but I will go ahead and link their website and Amazon down below for you. This is the Unflavored Collagen the one that's 20% off telling you this is the best collagen I've ever had. It's the only collagen I will ever use.  It's collagen and it's so easy just to throw in your morning cup of coffee, your morning smoothie, a protein shake highly highly recommend. So I'll link everything for collagen for her down below for you. Okay so here is my breakfast set up. So for the avocado toast I'm gonna use the Dave's Killer bread thin sliced I really really love this bread 70 calories it also has three grams of protein and two grams of fiber so I'm gonna do one slice. I pulled out a couple avocados mine are really really ripe they've been in my fridge for a while so I don't know which one or how much good avocado I'm gonna get out of those and then the star of the show apparently is this Philadelphia whipped chive cream cheese we're definitely gonna add some of that to the avocado toast and then I'm going to have a baby bell for some extra protein and then I have some fresh blueberries so that'll give me a fruit healthy carb and some fiber. So here's my breakfast doesn't this look amazing I'm so excited to try it it could be my new favorite avocado toast I have my blueberries which I have 80 grams and my baby bell cheese so I'll go ahead and put points calories protein here on the screen and let's taste test the avocado toast that's delicious I definitely taste the chive cream cheese it makes it nice and creamy and then adds a ton of flavor and then all the avocado with the everything but the bagel this is probably the best avocado toast I've ever had heading to Starbucks for my birthday Starbucks I actually I have the Starbucks credit card so apparently I get a free coffee on my birthday so I'm actually just gonna go to fries which is our Kroger store and I'm gonna get a coffee there and then I'm gonna get a single piece of cake to share with Troy for our birthdays if you didn't know Troy's birthday is yesterday November 17th my birthday's the 18th so we didn't have cake yesterday so we're gonna do cake tonight we'll just share a single piece of cake and then I have to make a quick run to the post office so that I can mail off of a couple of things you can't complain about a free Starbucks drink for your birthday so like I mentioned today is my birthday so I decided to dress up a little bit today in my grocery haul last Saturday I shared with you guys this super cute dress that I found at Walmart it's a Steve Madden dress it was $21 I love it I got a size large and I could have sized down to a medium I mean it fits me it's a little bit loose so I think if I throw it in the washer on hot and dry it'll shrink it down to the perfect size but this dress is so cute so comfortable so I'll link it down below for you guys I always get asked what dress I'm wearing I get asked a lot about my makeup I'll even link the eyeshadow palette and the lippy that I have on today this is one of my very favorite lip combinations I wear this all the time so I'll put all that down below for you as well and tonight for dinner we're actually going to a local restaurant here in our community it's called pub 1922 or the pub and it's kind of a bar restaurant vibe super cool of course I'll take you guys along with me I'll even see if my neighbors would be in my video today if they want to say hello to you guys but we're going there for dinner there's another little something that I have that's going to spice up my look for my birthday and that's this little beauty white right here I'm so excited about this these are the Dora's hair extensions I have always wanted hair extensions but I don't want them sewn in I don't want to have to go to the salon and sit there for hours upon hours to get hair extensions so when I discovered this brand for the price point for the quality I was blown away and I immediately ordered a set of clip in hair extensions so here is what they look like I'm so excited about these so I think what we're gonna do is we're gonna try these out we're gonna put these in so that I can wear these out for dinner tonight I really really really love these hair extensions the quality of these is impeccable hair extensions can be really really expensive these are really affordable and the quality like I said is so amazing so they actually have several different hair extensions on their website they have some classic clip-ins they have the ultra seamless clip-ins that's what I have they have the Dora's band which is like a halo extension and then they also have some tape-in extensions as well so like I said I picked up the ultra seamless clip-ins they're made with a hundred percent human hair and they feature 0.5 millimeter thin silicone cone wefts that lay flatter against your sculpt for ultimate comfort they provide the best clip-in hair extension experience for those with fine or thin hair they're super lightweight and you can actually wear them all day they show all of the different colored extension options on their website you can also take advantage of their service called color match where you can speak with someone directly via chat or you can color match your hair with the photos that they have on the website I have the chocolate brown caramel blonde balayage so I do have a balayage coloring in my hair so I knew that these would be the perfect extensions for me I did speak with someone on the website they walked me through choosing the right shade for the extensions and this is what we came to and they are absolute perfection they blend in with my natural hair so beautifully you have options of length of 16 inch 18 inch 20 inch and 22 inch I did decide to go ahead and get the 22 inch so that I would have the longest extensions that they had again they're premium a hundred percent remi human hair extensions double-drawn hair thick from roots to ends 70 percent thinner at the top than classic clip ins heat safe and easy to style and there's nine tooth clips which is an upgrade from most hair extensions on their website they also have a frequently asked question section which is great it will answer a lot of the questions you may have on your order of hair extensions what hair extensions you should pick up why these hair extensions are different shipping and refunds the different types of extensions it's really a wealth of information so you can see that I didn't even use all of the clip-in options so there's a whole nother wealth here plus this additional type of ponytail wealth and it just added a lot of volume if they're really really long I do need to definitely curl them so that it matches with the rest of the curl in my hair but it literally took me five minutes to put them in they feel so luxurious and silky and like real hair and the color meshes really well with my lighter hair color I really like these how fun for us for a special occasion or a night out or just when you want to have a little more volume to your hair so go ahead and pop all the discount information here on the screen for you definitely grab these they would make an amazing amazing gift if you're someone that has thin hair or flat hair and you really want to add some volume and some length you can pick any length that you want these that I chose are the longest length on the website I like it I think once I once I curl it it'll you know shrink the length up a little bit but it's just really fun for something a little bit different you can't tell that you have extensions and they feel really good they lay nice and flat on your head again would make an absolutely amazing gift and I'll link everything including the discount down below I'm just finishing up my protein coffee my second protein coffee and I'm ready for some lunch so I hauled in my grocery haul the Trader Joe's shrimp burgers like I mentioned that guy at Trader Joe's said he loves these is one of their favorite things it says grill bake or pan fry I think I'm gonna throw mine into the air fryer here is what they look like so it actually reminds me a lot of like a chicken burger or a veggie burger and supposedly it is just shrimp and vegetables that makes up this burger are 90 calories a piece and they have 18 grams of protein so that's awesome so I'm gonna throw that in the air fryer and then I'm going to have no surprise cucumbers with some of that garlic and herb feta dip this is so good highly recommend and then I'm wanting something maybe a little crunchy so I'm going to have a serving of these wisps cheese and pretzel bites I also hauled these in my grocery haul from Walmart I found these in the deli section they are so good so the little clusters you can see I've already eaten some little clusters are the wisps with chunks of pretzel so it's that perfect salty crunchy vibe they're really good and you can have 15 of them or 28 grams I always weigh them out on my food scale for 140 calories and of course I'll give you guys all the points at the end but I'm gonna have a serving of these as well so while my shrimp burger is cooking right over here in the air fryer I'm gonna go ahead and weigh out my serving of the wisps so again it's 28 grams so there's 28 grams so you actually get a quite a bit so this has 15 pieces let's count 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 so 16 pieces so pretty close to what it says here on the package and then I'm going to go ahead and weigh out my dip for my cucumbers so this says 28 grams so there is a couple tablespoons of the dip we'll add some cucumbers so there's my little shrimpy burger it looks really really good my cucumbers with my dip my crunchy wisps with pretzels this looks really good let's go ahead and taste test this burger I'm gonna try it as is and we'll decide if it needs some type of sauce all right shrimp burger taste test so I don't know if you can see but there's bits of shrimp in there it smells really good yeah smells really good it smells like shrimp but then kind of savory I'm sorry what that is delicious it I get the shrimp I get the shrimp texture the shrimp taste but it is loaded with spices it is so good oh my gosh I'm blown away at how good that is in my opinion it doesn't need any sauce it is so flavorful wow so as of right now definitely recommend the shrimp burgers at Trader Joe's I can't wait to eat this this lunch looks so good I'm getting in some veggies for the day a crunchy snack so I thought I'd show you guys the birthday slash anniversary goodies so Troy brought me home these flowers on his birthday which is our anniversary so yesterday they're beautiful there's pink roses light pink dark pink some greenery absolutely beautiful and then I got him a birthday card and then of course the dogs got him a birthday card he picked a birthday card up for me and then my mother-in-law she makes these birthday cards are so beautiful so she gave both Troy and I won yesterday when we went to the theater with them so we have a nice little display for our birthday and anniversary on our kitchen counter I think after lunch is the perfect time for some cake so I did get a white cake with some raspberry filling I'm gonna have just a tiny bit of this cake maybe like two or three bites I'm pretty full but I definitely want to try it you know I love sweets it's been calling my name this is a really good the raspberry filling is kind of tart so it's perfectly paired with the cake the cake is super moist the frosting isn't a whipped cream but it's not a buttercream it's kind of a mix between the two it's light it's really good you can't go your whole birthday without birthday cake so I asked you guys in my grocery haul this last Saturday if you wanted to see me unbox the Trader Joe's 12 Days of Beauty Advent Calendar and you guys said yes so we're gonna box this together this is 1999 at Trader Joe's and it is full of all things beauty I actually buy this calendar every single year it's a really really good deal there's a good variety of Trader Joe's body care skincare all sorts of good stuff in here in it

clay face mask I love face masks I actually keep a mask or jar of mask in my shower and whenever I shower I wash my face put the mask on let it sit on my skin while I take the rest of my shower kind of double double dip the shower in the self-care but this will be great to help detoxify and clean the pores number five where are you here we go number five oh this is fun I don't know that we've

tasting things and this is their candy cane moisturizing hand cream I can smell all the mint without even bringing it to my nose it smells so good it smells amazing I'm really excited about this if this is in the store in full size during the holidays you can bet I'm picking it up number eight this is a eucalyptus shower steamer also smells so good it actually reminds me of winter and Christmas I love these you just throw them in the bottom of your shower and as the water runs over it it puts all the scent in the air it's just a fun kind of self-care thing in the shower similar to a bath bomb but of course for the shower number nine we have another little baby door so we got one of these last year and it was awesome this is an exfoliating a sugar cube so it looks like it's looks just like a sugar cube and it's an exfoliator so I put it in my hands kind of smash it up and then use it to exfoliate my body these are great I think we had a green one last year they work really well and they smell amazing number 10 right in the middle we actually got this in our advent calendar last year and I love this this is the kombucha rose cleansing oil so this is a makeup removing oil yes it smells really good kind of kombucha kind of rosy you just rub this in between your hands and put it on your face and it removes all your makeup for you this is the first step in my skincare routine and then I go in and double cleanse with a cleanser but this was really fantastic so I'm excited to have it back number 11 ooh this is another product I've never seen in an advent calendar from Trader Joe's this is the rose bath salts with rose petals so I love that we got a shower product and a bath product I'm not a bath taker so I'm gonna go ahead and pass this on but this is a good size I feel like this could be a couple of bath uses and last but not least I'm sad it's already over is number 12 we're ending the calendar out on a great note this is the marshmallow lip balm yes marshmallow it smells just like marshmallow oh my gosh I'm so excited I love lip balm I keep it by my bedside I actually just bought a three pack of mint lip balm from Trader Joe's so I'm really excited for this so that's everything that came in the 12 days of beauty I think it's a great deal 1999 for all of this is a fantastic deal I'll use everything with the exception of the bath salts but I'll pass those

So what I just wanted to share was my experience on both sides. I've had bosses or leaders who never wanted to listen to your opinion or who were very, very picky. And so sometimes the tendency for me just to shut down or whatever they say was always there. But I also learned that there were things I could learn from them irrespective of how they led. So my encouragement basically is that sometimes we wonder why we have certain bosses that why are we under this kind of boss who doesn't listen, who doesn't want to hear your opinions. And they have had very good bosses at the same time too. But I know that in every situation, there are things that God always wants us to just learn for the next stage of assignment he wants us to do or the next group he wants us to lead or something later in the future that will be very useful to us. And I think again, another reason why the Lord brings us before these kinds of people who might seem to be bad bosses or bad leaders, it's just for us again to see a picture of what we should not be. So I believe every case is a learning season. And another thing again is when it comes to the church, I realize that if we as leaders lead the way the world leads, we will completely miss God's plan or God's intentions or whatever God wants to do through our leadership. So it's paramount that as Christian leaders that we're in touch with the spirit of God and that our leadership is spirit led, such that we are fulfilling what God wants to do. In that season for the group of people, the Lord has brought us to lead in the church, could be small groups, could be the whole church or any ministry, whatever God has called us to lead. It's important that it's spirit led. And then the five levels of leadership you referenced by John Maxwell, I'm actually even reading the book, I had to buy the book last year. I had seen a talk on YouTube years ago, so I decided to buy it last year. And it's very, I just wanna encourage everybody to get that book or just find a way of reading because it's very, very helpful.  He's the greatest leader of all. So it's a very good material, it's a good piece for everyone to read. And just one last thing, I noticed that the fifth level, you put personhood, I thought it was pinnacle because I think that's what I saw. Or maybe I haven't got to the path where it says personhood. Well, I know it says pinnacle, that's what I just wanted to identify. Okay, okay, personhood of the right at the top, right? Yeah, okay. Yes, sir. Yeah, thank you. Yeah, that was so good. Yeah. Can you just give me a minute? Someone at the door, I'm so sorry that I just, just give me a minute, please. No problem, Pastor. Really sorry, apologize for the pause. Thank you, sir, for that input. And yeah, anyone else, you wanna share about your experiences with leadership. I think the thing is we face both the good and the bad when it comes to leadership and leadership styles. And the challenge for us is to, you know, continue walking in the good and not to like say we're talking about, you know, to be led by the spirit, like we have enough and more and not to be tainted by any other, you know, leadership or a worldly or a fleshly, you know, leadership thing, which contradicts with the word. I think that I just want to, you know, reference that or say that because, you know, well, the world might be doing or carrying out the leadership style or, you know, something about or leading people, which might be very in tune with the word of God, right?  We can't say that it's okay. It's bad leadership style of, you know, because many things are in line. We notice that many things are in line with the principle of God's word, you know. Many organizations do that. They're very, you know, people centered. They do things to, you know, they recognize organizations today, recognize people as, you know, as an asset, as a resource and do that. So we can't paint everything, you know, and say, well, this is how it is. If it's off the world, then it's, you know, if it's in the world, in an in a corporate thing, then it's bad, you know, we can't do that. But definitely when it's using our discernment, when it contradicts the word of God, yeah, you know, we... So that's a challenge, you know, for us to be in an environment, let's say you're working in an organization for, let's say five years, six years, and you're being led in a very different way. You have someone who's overseeing you, who's got very different ways of working. Maybe it's manipulative, maybe it's authoritative and, you know, that kind of a thing. And for whatever reason, you're in that environment for about five, six years.  You know, he grew up listening and being sensitive to the voice of God, you know. So, and that's what scripture says, he grew. And even though he wasn't that kind of an environment, I think that's the challenge for us.  It is tough. It's like the courts of Nebuchadnezzar or like the courts of Pharaoh. But, you know, I know that I'm here for a reason. I know that I'm an influencer. I know that I'm being salt and light and I'll continue to, you know, lead the way God wants me to lead. I think that's a great thing. You know, it'll be so impactful. I mean, you know, some of us have worked in organizations like Chris and who has Shri Kumar, Tarun, maybe you could share your experience. I think that'll be good. Maybe Rupa, I don't know. Others, you also, maybe Beth and others, you know, you could just share. I think that'll be helpful for the class, you know, if you could share your experience. I think that'll be useful. Would anyone like to share? Yeah, go ahead. This is with respect to leadership style, the pastor.  I think it'll be helpful for us.  Some of them who have, you know, made a difference. Some of them, you know, have been very, you know, autocratic in their approach. But one, I think one type of leader that I would like to just talk about is, this was when I was going for a large multinational, when I worked abroad, where there were, it was not just one person, but I think it was about three people actually, who kind of, who held quite senior positions in the organization. And they decided that they would in a sense, you know, transform the organization.  There was a lot of, you know, self-motivation over there because they themselves benefited a lot. But I think they also had the vision to, you know, and as well as the ability to, you know, to get, you know, get that organization transformed and make a use difference in the organization. So they were like, you know, they held senior positions, but they still reported to a person who held, who was the Asia-Pacific head of the organization. And who had been in that, who had led the organization for a number of years and in fact had actually started off the, you know, the, you know, the organizational, I mean, it's a U.S. company, but he actually started off the Asia-Pacific cooperation. But because he had been there for many years, he was running it the way he felt, you know, it was, you know, that he wanted to run it and he did achieve considerable amount of success. But I think what these three individuals were able to do was to actually transform the organization.   So I think it was pretty, very interesting to see how the organization, you know, changed from, you know, operating in a certain way for many years and then getting transformed.  Yeah, obviously, yeah. Thank you. Thank you for that.  So that's good, yeah. So to make a change and it's difficult, you know, in an organization, even with, you know, with all the rules and norms and everything, bringing in change, I think there's a whole, you know, area, organizational change, which is a subject by itself and, you know, it's an art by itself to bring in that. And yeah, and as, you know, as salt and light, we are change agents, right?  Yeah. Anyone else? Maybe one more person and then we'll move on. Can I? Yeah, sure. Go ahead. Thank you, Pastor. Pastor, in my life, yeah, when I was in the corporate field and also in my spiritual life. So the, like, I have learned so many things from the leaders, even from my pastors now, where I'm attending the church, through the way how they are actually interacting with the people, the way that, how they handle the things, that humility and in the grace which they are walking. Right. And moreover, when I was in the corporate field, yeah, there were so many good and bad managers I faced and with their mistakes, I learned so many things and with their, it was an overall, it was an input in my life. Like, I learned a lot of things through their mistakes, through their decision making. And even, I still carry those things in my life, even in my ministry, when I always keep those principles and those things which are always helpful for me. There are managers who has invested their knowledge in my life and there are managers who are so harsh that I don't want to go to office at all. I said, God, I don't want this job at all. I don't want to quit the job. But God was so gracious in my life that, and he wanted me to go through those difficult situations because I was that time, I was not knowing that he was actually preparing me for something, but yeah, their input and yes, they're down there. I saw the promotions of my managers because of their, the way how they carry the knowledge about the process, they carry the knowledge about how to handle the businesses. So it was a great thing that there are some difficult managers which I don't know how to explain, but it was a tough time. Even in my spiritual life also, I have, even through my pastors, is even through Pastor Ashish also, he would lead it for me. So many other pastors are there. Yeah, that's my brief input. Thank you Pastor. Thank you. Thank you. I'm just reading out what Beth has shared, listening to those underused key, even to the point of listening to their personal issues, giving dignity even to the lowest. And yeah, it's quite difficult as lower paid workers are often caste based, okay. Allowing lower caste people to hold positions of responsibility and making sure they're respected. Especially challenging in rural areas. Yes, very true. When you take time to listen and appreciate the stuff under you, it makes it easier to bring correction and uphold standards as they feel cared for, even when being corrected. So true, yeah. And I guess the thing is everybody is busy in a typical work day. And if the organization can bring in some kind of a process in place where this may be an open house, maybe once a month, or even a suggestion box. And something that is responded to, okay, we hear you. And well, and then something like that, if it's incorporated in the, I'm talking about, when I say organization, I'm talking about the ministry also, however small or big the setup is. The bigger it is, I think it's more important. I mean, it's critical to have these kind of processes in place because you get, I mean, you get lost in the bigness of things and things can tend to become very mechanical, very, what's the word, very process-based and not people who think. So to bring in that, to always, to make sure that that emphasis is there, that's very important, yeah. And so the wisdom is in doing it to when, when do you do that and how do you do that most effectively and how over a period of time, it just doesn't become a routine, right? So even when you have a process in place like this and then if it's not being, if it just becomes a routine and nothing has been done about it, then it becomes useless. And yeah, but I get what you're saying, that's about typically in a country like India and I don't know if there's in other nations also, based on the income level, on the caste that you're born from, yeah, a lot of biases, a lot of injustice, true. And I think we as believers can really make a difference in such, I think. I know of a wonderful, a person who's, he is in an organization, definitely the top management, then he's quite an influence, quite an inspiration at his home. I don't know how, again, how frequently, but those are served at home. People, house helps and maids and the driver, I think once, I forget again, once a month or once ever, so he cooks for them and they sit down and have a meal together, right?  And yeah, our roles are different than this thing. Yes, I know that he's, you know, but yeah, but this is it, we are equal. So they sit at the table and eat. So I think it's a very powerful message that's going to them, you know, like everyone, you know, house helps and driver and so on, who they sit together at the table with the children, with the family and eat together. So let's have a meal together, amazing. So something radical, you know, things like that would really make a big difference. And it's a lasting influence, lasting impact where, you know, I remember a story where this person, I think it was, this is from, you know, friends of ours who were in, in, in Gujarat. A lot of, you know, the cast thing is there, untouchability and all that.   So, so here is this person serving food, you know, in a plate and then giving it. And that, that guy just started crying, crying, saying, you know, nobody's ever done this. And, and the fact is that I think she's made, I think two eggs. So, you know, he's like, I've never had two eggs together in one meal, you know. So that's the, and he was like crying, he was in tears and so that's the kind of, you know, reality of the place or the environment that we are in, where we are called to make a difference through our leadership, you know, where.   This is expectation, right? There's nothing wrong in communicating that, you know, I want the best from you, I want the best for you.  So that's the thing, yeah. So thanks, thanks, Beth, for sharing that, you know, there's a need for radical leadership in our nation, and there are many from other, you know, even from other world views, you know, other, you know, not necessarily believers who make a big difference, and I think there's a lot we can learn from them, right? But, you know, we who have the life of God in us, I think we have much to give, right? And to be, we are called to be in the place where we are called to be, you know, as leaders, I think we need to raise up, I mean, rise up, sorry, rise up and be that, right? Okay, that was good. Thank you for sharing all those stories. So yeah, hopefully again, and just coming back, you know, we need to do this right, and maybe we've had bad examples, but that doesn't mean, you know, leadership is a bad thing, right? And it's a good thing. It's a God thing. And all of us are called, invited to this, they're commissioned for this, right? So let's take that place and be equipped and grow and take our place, right? Okay, okay, so let's move on. We will move on to, you know, decision making within the organization. Again, a very interesting and, you know, one that's very important, okay? That will really help us, you know, maybe you've started off something and you're planning to start something, you know, when it comes to decision making and, you know, we're just scratching the surface here, you know, we're not going into the depths of it, but I just want that to keep them, you know, I want you to keep that in mind as well, okay? So here, we make our standards clear, you know, when it's an organization, when it's a small, I mean, whatever the size of the ministry or organization, you make the standards clear. If these are the standards, the, you know, it might from the, it can be from the, you know, the joint letter, can be the soft guidelines, you know, the standards, integrity, excellence, quality, you know, whatever the expected, biblical nature, everything. And very important, just like the vision, this needs to be captured, this needs to be documented and communicated, right? And reiterated, right? So recently when we had our, you know, meeting for the first meeting of the year, you know, went through these things, you know, what are, who are we? It's important for us to remind ourselves, you know, collectively, you know, as a church, as a ministry, who are we? Right? This is who we are. This is what we stand for, right? So that our decision-making and the standards are not contradictory, right? For the most part, you know, that guides us in our decision-making. So we don't make immoral decisions or we don't make decisions that are, you know, which are, which compromise on the integrity of the organization of the, you know, so that's the thing right from, you know, everyone, having a strong grip, you know, we could be making, we could be doing very varied things, right? But in all those, this would apply, right? We could be designing, we could be in human resource, we could be accounting, we could be, you know, doing other things, you know, teaching, teaching. But the standards need to be the same.  So the best way to make it is to communicate it, but this way to maintain it is to, you know, communicate it and to reiterate that, okay? And for this, for it to be clear, you know, there are no ambiguity, no fuzzy, fuzziness in language, no lack of clarity, but for that to be precise, clear and communicated, right? Okay, so have a proper system for approval of decisions. Now, this is also important, right? Now, when the, you know, you know, that when the organization is small, when it's like two, three people or maybe four people, you know, as a leader, you can make all the decisions, but when the organization grows and when you have other leaders, then some of these decisions are made by others, you know, you're maybe as a senior leader, you are making certain decisions for the, you know, for the, you know, the direction of the organization, right? The big picture, the vision. So you're making those macro decisions, but the micro decisions of, okay, paper for the printer and, you know, water for the, you know, the water dispenser and those kinds of things you are not making, right? So, but so you've set the guidelines, you've set the standards, but you're not making those decisions. So people don't have to come back to you or, you know, badger you for approvals, right? So you're not micromanaging things. So what is the solution? The solution is that you have a system in place and a proper pathway for approvals to be given, right? So if it's buying something, if you need to spend some money, if you need to hire some things, you know, have a system in place, right? Initially, and it needs to list down and this will keep growing. This will keep changing as the ministry grows, and as the organization grows, this will keep changing. As you, you know, as you see things, people being added on and, you know, your sphere of influence increasing and so on, so have a system in place, kind of like who needs to make what decisions, right? Let's say, you know, when it's spending, you know, this is something which, which we need to deal with every day, right?  So decide, okay, when it comes to this X amount, so and so we'll make a decision, right? We have this team leader, we have an X amount of money, it's fine, I'll say 5,000, 10,000. If it, this person will approve it, right? We'll, we'll, we've seen this person, we've seen the, you know, what that person carries and knowledge, understanding, et cetera. So it's well able, capable to make the decision, in terms of quality, in terms of vendor check, whatever, all that, but let this person decide.  And so, so having those things in place, simple process, because if this is not clear, then what happens is, you know, some things happen, decisions will not be made. Like saying, oh, I need to do this, but I am not clear now. I, do I do it? Do I not, you know, the person is still gathering information or waiting for, you know, it could be various reasons, but the important decision, maybe some things are required, maybe some things need to be done, some tasks need to be done, maybe some, it could be about some product, some service that the, that the organization needs. Some hiring that needs to be done. No, that's not done because, you know, unable to make the decision. Who has to make the decision? There's lack of clarity, right? So if there's clarity, then it'll be made and things can go ahead, right? Then the other thing could be, you know, when the clarity is not there, then it comes back, you know, to, maybe to you, maybe to someone who gets swamped, you know, it's not their place at all, right? It's swamped with the details, right? So if it's, you know, if things are, need to be done promptly and then there's punctuality and there's a consequence, if it's not done promptly, you know, those kind of decisions are there. So having a system in place, a process in place with the right approval for each of those decisions, who needs to, will really help, okay? Well, while we have these things in place, be open for discussions and inputs, you know, maybe suggestions, because these will always, and also create a culture like, okay, you can give inputs, but it needs to be given in an honorable way because people can talk out of frustration, oh, they know this. But over a period of time, they will understand, okay, you know, this is frustrating, you know, this is not done because of XYZ reasons, but let me communicate that in an honorable manner, right? Let me do that in a very objective way, you know, with a view to solve rather than to put blame, or you know, so people also will understand, right? Be open for discussions, inputs. And the thing is this, you know, when suggestions come or when inputs are given, it's not that everything can be approved, it's not that everything can be worked out. And so people also need to have that understanding, right? Okay, this decision, well, it rests with the decision makers, the suggestions, inputs, you know, there is definitely, we can discuss way the pros and cons, and then, you know, take a clear decision. And of course, we're talking about some things which require these kind of things, which these are major decisions, these are not like, you know, something to do with what flavor of tea to order, or what brand of tea to have, these are big decisions. So obviously, you know, the consequences are there. So, you know, be open for discussions and inputs and create a culture, and whether you as leader or other leaders are accessible, okay? Now, this will really help, because this will help to keep the channel of information open. It will help the leader in knowing what is a ground reality, okay? Because the leader, well, need not be always in touch with what is happening on the ground. It's good to do that, it's important, but, you know, if that information channel, if that communication channel is an information flow, it's not there, then one can be alienated, one can be distanced, and it can result in poor decisions, it can result, because you're assuming, okay, this is how it is. There is a certain step of faith that needs to be made, but when the information is there, when that, you know, reality, ground reality is something else, and you're, you know, you need to make an informed decision. Instead of making an informed decision, there's a danger of, you know, assuming something, right? Going by assumption. So, well, so be open, keep those channels of information and communication open, right? Okay. Then, take responsibility for decisions that are made, you know, that's also crucial, because, you know, we might make great decisions, and we might also make some poor decisions, you know, as leaders, I think the best thing is to recognize that, you know, if a bad decision is made, to say that, yes, I made that decision, and then, and say, okay, you know, no amount of justification or, you know, fixing of blame, you know, to avoid all that, right?  How can we, how can we go beyond that, right? So that's the thing. And yeah, so that is very helpful. So when it comes to, you know, organizations and decision-making, so these are, I mean, these are, I'm sure there are many other things, but these are four very important, and also some things for us to remember, right? Which will help us. And also, when we're talking about culture, okay? Now, it's also, you know, when we're talking about these processes and so on, culture is something which is very, very, some of these intangibles, right? Now, when we talk about an organization, well, there could be several things, you know, about ministries, okay, this is what they do, and because these are all on display for us to see what they do, what the result is, and everything. It's there on paper, you know, maybe they are in so many places, they're doing this, you know, they are helping, the projects are there, the outcome of those projects are there to as proof of that. But when it comes to culture of, you know, things like this openness and respect and so on, it can be very intangible, right? And the thing is it's based on our core beliefs, it's based on our values, what we esteem highly, and it's based on some of our practices, what we do daily as an organization. So our core beliefs and values, and this forms the culture. It is, well, it is, you step in and you realize, okay, this is the culture, you know. I remember, you know, when I made some changes, like when I moved from organization A to organization B, when I was working in corporate sales, so I moved in based on, you know, what I could see, what I studied, what I heard about them, the opportunities that were given, and this was early days, right? The first job and the second job. So then I realized the culture was very, very different. Like the first organization was kind of friendly, easygoing, very, but the second organization was a bit more rigid, you know, and aggressive, very competitive and so on. So, and you realize that early after you join, you know, you realize that in the conversation, you realize that in the briefing meetings, and so for an outsider, this may not be very apparent, but once you step in is when you feel the culture, when you realize, okay, this is what the culture is, right? So the thing about culture, it can be positive, it can be negative. It can really help the organization, it can boost the organization, it can keep people together, motivated, inspired, and, you know, or it can do the opposite of it, right? If the culture of slackness is a culture of, you know, shoddy work and so on, now that can result in frustration, right, with people. And if it's, you know, a culture of hypocrisy, you're saying something and you're doing something else, and then, you know, that can very quickly demotivate people, and they're looking for ways to accept the, you know, go somewhere else, rather than stay and give their best, and they could be highly skilled, highly qualified, people who could really, you know, bless the organization. Okay. So Paul talks about it, one Corinthians 11, he talks about traditions that he delivered then. 2 Corinthians 2 says, stand fast and hold the traditions, which were that you were taught by word or are epistle, right? And then it also talks about, you know, withdrawing from every brother who walks, 2 Corinthians 3, from every brother who walks disorderly and not according to the traditions which he received from us. So he talks about these, some of these, you know, things that are not scriptural and worse, but then some of these intangibles, you know, like customs, this is the way of doing things, right? Okay. So the thing is that, you know, we can look at what can the culture of the kingdom of God or what is the culture of the kingdom of God, which transcends all other cultures, right? What does it look like in the word of God? So we see a lot of people interactions, we see a lot of, you know, especially in the book of Acts, we see, you know, ministry teams and we see ministry leaders in the book of Romans.  So, you know, we can actually teach what the kingdom culture is, right?  And over a period of time, you know, just, I don't know, Pastor Ashish also, you know, repeating this and reiterating this, you be the example. You be the example that you want to see in your team.  You know, if you want the team to be passionate and excellent and, you know, punctual and so on, you know, you be that person because we reproduce after our own kind, right? So because we are trying to lead them, we are inspiring them, we reproduce after our own kind.  And the thing is the internal culture. You know, the culture was not healthy. It was a bit bigger, it would become toxic, right? And it pulled down and really unraveled the entire work of yesterday's, right? It's a shadow of what it used to be. And there were probably other reasons, you know, refusing to innovate, refusing to move, you know, with what was happening and without compromising the truth, of course, right? So it's a shadow of the former self. Why? Well, one of the reasons, right, the culture, right? So if we want a gossip-free culture among our staff, among the team, then, you know, we need to, you know, refuse to gossip, talk ill about others, you know, pass on malicious information about others, refuse to pass such things, right? If we want excellence in our teams that we need to pursue excellence ourselves if we want.  And they're saying, okay, how will he or she respond in this situation? Now, this is, here's a chance to compromise or here's an invitation to compromise our integrity. Here is a invitation to, or an opportunity to compromise our excellence. Now, what is, how is this person going to respond? Right? How is this person going to behave or, you know, what is the kind of decision this is what a person is going to take? Now, that is going to influence the team. You might say, okay, for the moment, okay, let's do this guys, let's just move on, you know, we'll see. But then that's adding on to the culture, you know, of the organization, right? Okay, okay, so we'll continue this next class and yeah, have a great weekend. God bless you guys. See you soon, bye-bye.


Hey what's up folks, in this project we're making a festive ornament with the Adafruit Circuit Playground Bluefruit. This is a 3D printed ornament inspired by the Green Goblin's pumpkin props. Inside the ornament is the Circuit Playground Bluefruit with a 16 Neopixel ring and a 500 mAh LiPo battery. This uses the LED animation library for Circuit Python, making it really easy to animate Neopixels. With Circuit Python, the Circuit Playground Bluefruit shows up like a USB drive so you can easily access the code in libraries. With the animation group module, you can animate multiple Neopixel objects so you can animate them independently to make really cool effects. Circuit Python makes iteration much faster so you can experiment quicker and focus more on your creativity. This DIY ornament kit is the perfect size for fitting the Circuit Playground Bluefruit and the Neopixel ring. Our 3D printed mount makes it easy to snap fit the Neopixel ring to the back of the Circuit Playground Bluefruit. We used short silicone wires to connect the Neopixel ring to the large pads on the Circuit Playground Bluefruit. Be sure to check out the Learn Guide on the Adafruit Learning System. The wiring is fitted through the slit in the 3D printed mount and the ring snap fits into the recess on the back. The LiPo battery gets sandwiched in between the Neopixel ring and the Circuit Playground. The mount has these little tabs that keep the PCB in place without any screws. The battery can then be connected to the Circuit Playground Bluefruit. The diffusion material like parchment paper is added to the DIY ornament so the Neopixel LEDs are nicely diffused. The DIY ornament is fitted into the 3D printed halves and they both just snap fit together. We hope this inspires you to try out the LED animation library for your next Neopixel project. Thanks so much for watching and be sure to subscribe for more projects from Adafruit.

Welcome back to this channel. It's Max from the Max Creation TV and today what we are talking about, we are still talking about the latest development that in Qatar, I promised you and I told you, I'll always be giving those updates wherever they have to happen, wherever something comes in new and definitely that's what we need to understand. And what we are talking about today, we are talking about the latest development that is regarding to atras. This someone asked me a question about atras and what are those requirements that we need to have when you have atras itself. And what do we have or what do you expect when we are talking about atras is definitely the greener COVID-19 trucker that you're supposed to come as you have when you come into Qatar. And the latest information is that atras, a green atras is no longer required when you go to shopping malls or when you go to any other area. However, it is only required when you go to this what you call a healthy facility. That's according to the cabinet meeting and decision that was taken by the cabinet meeting that sat being chaired by His Highness Shekharib bin Karifa, Abraaziz Althani, which amended the decision regarding what you call the compulsory or the atras making for the healthy facility. Meaning that starting on the 1st of October 2022, for you to access any healthy facilities in Qatar, you will definitely need what you call a green atras for you to be allowed to enter into that basin or to be allowed to access the services in that area. However, still the cabinet also stressed that and said that for anyone when you are leaving your home or you are leaving your house, make sure that the green atras is activated or the verification is being activated into your mobile for safety in case you are being asked to present it in any way or the other. Remember, we are talking about this decision that is coming into effect on 1st November and remember, it is the 1st November it is also going to be the opening up of a set of the coming in of what you call the FIFA World Cup fans that will be coming into the country to enjoy the world stage game of 32 teams playing against each other in one room or the other. So however, it also further explained that there are some occupations, for example, there are some people who are dealing directly with the residents or people dealing directly with customers. For those professions, if you are definitely your area of work is your area of you need to talk directly to customers, if you need to have services with customers, then definitely you will have to have what you call an address and you will be required to put on the mask at all the times. Definitely for those people dealing with customers, you definitely know what I'm talking about. You are obligated to put on what you call the mask in those closed doors when you are communicating to customers because we are trying to look at the professional measures that should be taken. We are talking about that should be taken in the fight against COVID-19. Those are some of the latest updates that have been put in forward or that have been that will be coming into effect in what we call November and from November 1st 2022. So a person will ask about the address, that is the latest information. You don't need address to go to the shopping mall or to any shop or to go to anywhere but definitely you will need an address. You need to show an address as you go to what you call unhealthy facilities. However, this does not stop you to practice what we call the professional measures of the COVID-19 because it is your safety and for the safety of yourself and also for the safety of the people around you together. You can try to fight this degree and then make it one or the other. Thank you so much for coming back to this channel. Remember it's mixed from the next version for always giving the latest updates and anything but don't forget to hit into the comment section. Let me know what you feel about the video. Let me know what you want to know or what you talk about. Let me know what you feel is something that you do not clearly understand. We can try to share it out. You never know something may be good out of us. Thank you so much. See you again in next videos mixed from the expression TV.
