Almighty Jesus name we pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you. Thank you. Okay, so in this course on urban church planting, we are now in the final section of what I had planned for us to cover. So we talked about. There was the introduction section we give an introduction to church planting. We then talked about the natural and spiritual dynamics that are involved. We then talked about the practical issues related to church planting. So we went through a lot of practical things. Then we talked about the spiritual side to church planting. And then the last section we talked about the personal life, the personal life of the church planter and personal preparation and those kinds of things. So what I wanted to do and then I felt we needed to add one section, which is more on. On how do we look? I mean, we look forward and that's mainly because of what has happened the last two years. You know, because of the pandemic, how we do church, how we do ministry has been impacted quite a bit. We've all had to change a lot of things very quickly, adapt and make changes. And so now, you know, when we look forward, what would some of the things we need to keep in mind as we talk about church, church life, church planting, studying ministries. What are some of the things to keep in mind? So I wanted to talk about that. And then we will do a full review. That means I'll just quickly, you know, take one, one class or maybe three quarters or of a class lecture to quickly review everything we've covered in this course. And then after that, I'm just, you know, we will wrap up the course and I'll just give you time to work on assignments. So I will prepare the assignments put online. So month of November, we'll just basically keep it for that. And if we finish everything tomorrow, then we may not need to have lectures in November. It will be more of finishing of more of me sending you, you know, three assignments and then you can just take time to work on the assignments during November. So in this class, this lecture, I just wanted to, you know, think through with us on, you know, when we look forward, how would the ministry church planting or starting a Christian ministry, especially in urban centers. What would it look like? What are some of the things to keep in mind, especially churches, the church having gone through, you know, almost two years now of the pandemic and so on. Now, I'm going to basically be using a summary of a book that a person named Thomas Rainer wrote.  Somebody was who advises, who works with other pastors and churches and helping them with, you know, basically church planting, church growth, those kinds of things. So he wrote a book, which let me just share this now, I put the PDF on online in the class. So he wrote a book, The Post-Quarantine Church, Six Urgent Challenges and Opportunities that will determine the future of your congregation. So, you know, I thought it was just nice to use this summary to, these are just thoughts to think about, you know, I'm not saying everything will apply to every part of the world. This, of course, was written from a North American church perspective. So a lot of the ideas and thoughts are coming from that background. But I think it is useful for us to just see, you know, what has been said, what has been written and see, you know, if some of these things would be relevant for us. At least to think about as we plan on, okay, after the quarantine, now that we're coming out of the quarantine and we're looking at church or Christian ministry in an urban context, what are some of the things we need to keep in mind.  He's helped many churches go through this and worked with them before even the pandemic and then of course during the pandemic. So now he's like an expert and this was good to listen and to see what he has to say, right. So, so he's obviously addressing the same challenge with I think many, many pastors, church leaders, church planters, Christian ministers will be thinking about, okay, after the quarantine, what, what are the challenges going to look like, what are the opportunities going to look like, how can we start preparing for that. And so that's the objective of today's. So just this is just a summary. So it's a quick way for us to learn the main points of the book. So one is, he talks about gather differently and better. So the, the fact is, you know, the, the pandemic forced all of us, all churches to realize that, you know, while in person gathering is important, and church can still happen without the building. You know, we realize that we realize that, you know, to some extent we can use the tools that are there. And, and reach people, serve people, and we could gather in many different ways, you know, prayer groups could meet online seminars could happen online workshops could happen online services could happen online. And so, so the idea is, and then also that in some cases, church facilities could be used for more than just worship services, it could be used to serve the community in other ways, you know, some churches, I'm not saying everyone but some, some churches who had their buildings, and they opened up for, you know, helping people with needs during the pandemic, whether it's giving them food, clothing, assisting people in various ways during the pandemic, not, so the buildings were used, not just for church services, but they were used to serve the community in, you know, in different ways. So that is something we can consider continuing, you know, where possible. So, so gathering differently and gathering better. The second thought is to seize the opportunity to reach the digital world. So, again, this was a learning, and like we mentioned, we were forced to move online. And, and so a lot of churches have developed to certain degrees, different, different degrees, the ability to reach people in the digital world, that means those who are online. So, we must continue using this opportunity. And so, just for helping us understand, he categorizes, you know, people in three kinds of groups, there will be those who are digital only, you know, so there are some people who have, who have been connecting to church online, and they may continue online. You know, they may not come back, come to in-person gatherings. Some of these would be people who are physically unable to come.  And so for them, they will continue only online. And so we would need to think of ways and, you know, how do we continue to serve these people, right? They will, so we are not going to be able to move them to attend church service. They have become comfortable with the online service and also it's, they may have some other limitations that keep them from coming to the in-person gatherings. So, when you're doing a work in a city, you're planting a church, you're starting a ministry, you're doing that. Well, there are going to be people who will want to or who will connect just online, digital only. And then you have another group of people who he calls as digitally transitioning. That means they are connecting online and they've started connecting online, but slowly they will be open to attend in-person, right? So we need a strategy to serve these kinds of people. That means they have connected or they may connect to us online and then slowly they will, you know, we need to encourage them. They would be willing to come and worship in person. So we have to think about them. So even in our church planting or ministries that we plan to start or will start in urban centers, we need to keep these kinds of people in mind. And everybody or the remaining, remaining part of the group will remain as dual citizens. It's kind of funny he uses this, but it is interesting that is they will connect both digitally and in-person. That means they will come to the Sunday services, they will come to in-person gatherings like workshops, seminars, different things. But as an whenever they need, they will also engage digitally, you know, because people have become used to, you know, watching things online, whether it's YouTube videos, whether it's really content online, listening to content online. They've become used to it, especially in the last two years because we were forced to do that. So every person really is going to be connecting with the church or with the ministry as a dual citizen. That means we cannot get rid of this digital connect. We cannot. It's there to stay. And so everything we do as a church or as a Christian ministry must keep this in mind that people are going to connect both physically and digitally to the church or to the ministry. So we have to be able to serve them in both ways. We cannot just say we are moving only in-person. No, the digital will continue even in time to come. And very, very importantly, he talks about praying for each of these three groups. That means, you know, even as we get do our work in such a way that we are engaging with people both in-person and digitally, it's going to make us very busy because, you know, it's almost like you're reaching your force to reach multiple congregations. So the work has become more. We can't think of only, okay, people come and meet me and everything will be in person. No, everything we do, we have to think in both these terms, in-person and digital. So obviously work is going to be more. We have to pray for all of these people. We have to pray intentionally for people whom we are going to reach online digitally. And so very, very correctly, Thomas Rayner encourages us to prayerfully seek ways to engage in missions in the digital world. That's very important. And he warns us not to get trapped in digital busyness, you know. So the digital world is very engaging, but it also can really take away a lot of time. So be careful of that. Pray more and think of how to reach people in both these areas. So, and, you know, there are some thoughts here that you could think through on applying each of these ideas. So basically says, think of the different communities that you would reach since the pandemic, how you can use social media, how you can reach non-Christian through the digital world. Thirdly, third important thing we have to keep in mind as we move into a post-quarantine world, whether we are doing church planning or starting any kind of Christian ministry, is to reconnect with the community around our church, the local church. So while we have been using online and digital medium to reach people wherever they are, which means the church could be in one location and you could be reaching or serving people in various parts of the city or even the country or even the world, once you move into this post-quarantine world, the neighborhood church, the people who are serving the community will become very important because people are going to rediscover, people are going to reconnect in the community. Because people, okay, we've missed each other, we need to connect with people, we need, you know, we need to get together so community becomes important and we should not forget that the community around the church is very important. Just because we have been thinking digitally, thinking about online, thinking about these things, it is so important to reconnect with community and, you know, even for us after we have opened services, now it's been for one month, just maybe five Sundays, one of the things that even I have encountered talking to people is that people have really missed, at least the people that I've spoken to, people have really missed that personal connect. And it has, for many people, it has left them a little disoriented, you know, in the sense that this online church and all of that was okay for a certain period of time, you know, people knew it was a necessity, that was the only thing we could do, but it left, I'm not saying this is going to be true for everybody, but for many other people that I've spoken to, it left them a little disoriented, you know, in the sense that they were longing for that personal connect just to meet people and worship together and talk to people and, you know, so this will be true everywhere, you know, because we are, we need those connections. And so it is so important to reconnect with the community, both the church community as well as people around the community. And one of the things Thomas Reyner says is, he refers to as neighborhood churches. That means people are serving their immediate neighborhood, the people around, they will become very important because, you know, like we said, people are longing for that.  So we must, while we are thinking about reaching more people and so on, we must reconnect with the neighborhoods, homes, with people, make it personal, because people are longing for it, they're looking for it. So as we need to do that and also it makes the church be more outward focused, looking to reach people in their neighborhoods, cities, towns, communities. So that's another important thing for us to keep thinking about. So think of some of the ways your church can be of more positive influence in the community.  But, you know, if that's happening, then we can think of how do we reach out to those people who have been slowly dropping out of church because of a lack of connect. And think about the comeback of the neighborhood church and how can, you know, how can we leverage this in a very positive way, basically to connect with people in our immediate communities and neighborhoods because people are longing for that. So that's the third thing. Fourthly, we've already mentioned this, but we need to pray and seek God even more. Just as during the pandemic, and there was definitely more prayer, prayer for people, prayer for the challenges that we were going through, we need to continue with that prayer, right? So that's the next thought that is presented to us to continue with that prayer, to continue, you know, in those intense seeking of God. And don't let that go down. And also, because of the pandemic, people were forced to pray or meet for prayer in very innovative, it's a different place, mostly people met for prayer online. One of the things he suggests is how about continuing that, you know, that form of prayer, if it's possible. Surely we want to meet in person and pray, but we can think about that online prayer, continuing that mode of prayer whenever it is useful. But the whole point was the pandemic forced people to increase in their intensity and commitment to prayer. And so let's sustain that and keep building on that and keep going to new levels. So thoughts here, think about prayer ministries that took place in your church during the pandemic. Think about whether they are still present today. Think about church members who may join you in praying for your church and community. Think about technologies your church used during the pandemic and the ways those technologies can be used for prayer ministries today. In other words, you know, continue with that. Number five is to rethink of using the facilities that are there for new opportunities. So the idea here is that if churches or those churches that have church facilities, if we can think of new ways to serve the community, serve people, then we can, you know, we can rethink of how these facilities can be used to serve people. So some thoughts here is think about how we church facilities were used before the pandemic and how that is changing and might change more. Think of ways that you church may partner with another organization in the using of those facilities. Think about how digital streaming services during the pandemic might change the future of your worship services in your physical facilities. So, you know, just leveraging the church facility and keeping it in line with what we're doing. We are going to continue with digital streaming online. So if the facilities can tailor towards that ministry in an ongoing manner, also if the facilities we have can be used in partnership with other organizations. So rethink of that. Now, I haven't really put too much thought into it. You know, APCB don't own any buildings as yet. But this definitely is something to think about for those churches who have their own facilities. If you can see, you know, ways by which you can use that to serve people and also tailor the experience inside for an online audience. And the next one is make lasting changes that will make a difference. So the fact is, as we get into a post quarantine world, there are a lot of the changes that we must be forced to make. And some of these changes we don't even know as yet only as we start moving in in a month after month. We are going to begin to understand what are the changes we need to make, what are the things we need to do differently to adapt to just a new way of things. The new ways in which people are beginning to engage, interact and so on. But then as we make these changes, it is important that we do things that will last and that will make a difference for the long term, right? So whatever comes, you know, make sure that prayer and God's word, you know, remain the focus, remain it. The most important things, make sure those things remain important. You know, the preaching of the word, the discipling of people. They keep those things important, even though we are going to be making changes in how the services are done and so on. Make sure that we keep these things important. Now some of the things he does list out here is, you know, sometimes people refuse to change. Sometimes they don't see the urgency to change. Sometimes they fail to get people, influential people in the church involved who can influence other people in the church to change. Sometimes there's no clear vision. Sometimes people can get discouraged because they don't see, you know, short term wins, they don't see progress happening. So people get discouraged. Sometimes we fail to communicate to the congregation, to people, what we are doing, where we are going, how we are going to go forward. Or sometimes we're giving too much attention to those who are opposed to change and we let them override the change. So there's some things here to make sure that we don't keep ourselves from moving forward from making changes that need to be made. And let's see here now. I think, yeah, the key thoughts here are think about how receptive to change a church was during the quarantine and not the lessons you can learn from that period. Now, how did people react and respond to the fact that we had to move to online services? We have to move, you know, giving of offering online. We had to, you know, in many cases minister to people online, people wanted counseling, when people wanted prayer, you know, we did a lot of that online and, you know, people were receptive to it. So could some of these things continue? For instance, you know, as of now, we have continued to do all our giving online. We haven't moved back to the old form of, you know, sending a basket around or a bag around for people to put online, put offering into the bag. I just feel that, you know, giving online is because people have been used to it now for many, many months. It's a good thing for us as well because everything goes, the money goes straight into the bank account and there is no need for, you know, the manual process of counting and account writing down and physically going to the bank to deposit. Now, yeah, there may be some people who want it, but that's the physical offering bag. But if we can just continue with online giving, it will reduce the amount of work and just also make things more secure because it goes directly into the bank.  And now, of course, we want to meet people in person, but in order to save people's time and all of that, we could, you know, wherever necessary, we could do meetings online and people will be open to it, you know, it's a change but that change has become permanent, but it's a beneficial change For instance, on Saturday, I did a meeting with our children's church leaders and we did it online, you know, in the past I would say, oh, let's meet in the church office at this time and they will have to spend, you know, maybe half an hour, sometimes 45 minutes just to get to the church office for that meeting. But now it is so simple, you know, we all just connected online and we spent an hour discussing things, planning for the future and it all worked out fine, you know, so people are used to that and so, you know, there are these changes that can benefit us, benefit people which we will continue, but then we don't want to lose out on the core things the core important things of, you know, God's word of fellowship and so on. So think about some of the beneficial changes that have already taken place and you can continue with these things, don't have to necessarily go back to old ways and think about some way that your church may face some of its greatest challenges in the post quarantine world, so what could become a challenge in the future? So we had to think about those things. So I like this nine summary, nine points that is made, which we will go through. So to summarize, some things will never change in the post quarantine church.  Those things will never change. But what should we be thinking about as we get ready for doing church planting or Christian ministry in the post quarantine world? What should we be thinking about? One, keep things very, very simple. That means stay focused on what's important, do a few things well, both digitally and in person. So rather than trying to do a lot of different things, do a few things, but make sure you do it to serve people who are online as well as in person. Secondly, in a sense that we need to be intentional about reaching our communities. That means make every effort to reach the neighborhoods, the communities where people are. People are going to be looking forward to that and getting to churches that are close to them. So he also talks about the neighborhood churches. So the idea is, you know, these churches, neighborhood churches, churches that are serving effectively in their communities will become very important. So think about that. Number four, multi will multiply. That means he's talking about the multi site movement. That means a church having multiple campuses or locations. So he said this will continue because of the fact that people are wanting something close to them in their communities, in their neighborhoods and where they can connect. And also technology allows for this. You can have multi site churches, multi campuses and so on. So this will continue. Leaders, staff and leadership, we will need to focus more on digital proficiency. That means even as pastors as leaders, we will need to be able to use digital digital technology for ministering to people. So that will be an important part of how we're going to serve people. We need to have proficiency. We need to be able to use digital technology to reach people. Number six, there will be stragglers. That means people who once were part of the church, but because of the pandemic, they have become disconnected with the church. Or, you know, they're kind of now on the fence. They don't like really read heart to zealous for worship and so they're called stragglers. They will also, they will become a subject of outreach and focus. That means how do we get them back? Right. These people who are now on the fence, they've kind of become felt disconnected with the church because obviously nobody was there. I mean, the connect was not there. And so we need to reach out to them and focus on them. Digital worship services. So now we need to think about making sure that our services are serving people who are connecting digitally. So that will continue to be important digital worship services because like we said earlier, there will be a group of people who will only be able to connect digitally. They may not come in person. So our services should be tailored for them. The training of people for ministry will also change because of course we do need the core core training. But we also need training on practical things on, you know, on like we're saying, how do we leverage technology? How do we, you know, how do we lead through change? How do we manage? How do we lead a church in the congregation through these times, these kinds of things? So the training we have to give to people will also have to adapt to, you know, to what is being, what is required in this new time that we are entering into. And then he also talks about that, you know, as we have more multi-site churches, we will also need more pastors to take care of these new campuses. And these pastors will take care of the new campuses. They don't have to be in the same, carry the same leadership responsibilities as the main leadership pastor, but they will just be campus pastors. So they don't have to necessarily be strong leaders, but as long as they can pastor a venue or a campus, you know, that is fine. The leadership is provided by the main pastor. So, you know, we will need these kinds of pastors as well. So that in a sense is what some of the thoughts that are shared in this book. I'm not saying this is a complete answer to everything that we will face. But I think it's a nice effort to get us to think on some of these things that will change and will be different as we begin to move into a post-quarantine world. And as we think about starting churches, starting ministries, doing ministry in the urban centers, I think this book captures a lot of important thoughts that we could use. So let me pause here and see if you have any thoughts and comments on this about a post-quarantine world and some other things that are shared in this book. Any thoughts, any comments? Kiran says online meeting also best. Kiran, why do you feel online meetings are good or are the best? I'm not sure if Kiran heard my question. Sir, in person also is good but a different part, online meeting, we can connect different state, different parts. So I said, sir, online meetings are good. You can connect to church services anywhere else and yeah, that's true. So online gives us that tremendous advantage. We can connect to a church service anywhere in the world and be a part of it, true, true. Any other thoughts here based on what we covered today on, you know, doing ministry, especially by thinking in terms of church planting and Christian ministry in urban centers, in a post-quarantine world. Any other thoughts anybody wants to share? Kanan, Dave, Aaron. The thing is, in person is better but regarding the post-quarantine, before the pandemic, we didn't have digital system. We didn't have recording and other things. And yet we know we have a lot of members who are not in Nepal, I mean, who have gone out or moved out of the country for different various reasons. They've gone for work, they've gone, they've resettled themselves outside. And this, when we, because of the pandemic, our church moved into a digital world. And before we, actually we were, we didn't want to record, we didn't want to upload on YouTube or Facebook because of some security issues. But because of the pandemic, we are forced to do that. Not only for third service only, but it helps us to reach all those people who we have lost contact with, who have went out and sometimes they wanted to have the service where we weren't able to just on the phone or talking to phone. It's not enough. But because of this, I think it did help those who are not currently in Nepal or those who cannot go to a service even when they are in outside of Nepal. When they go to different countries, they have different rules and regulations. Like in Middle East, we have service on Saturday, but their holidays is on Friday. In some major countries, the holiday is on Sunday. So because of that also, but because of the pandemic, it gave us this opportunity to move the whole church into digital world. It has helped in the area that I mentioned. I think in the upcoming days, it definitely will help our church. Even though we are not yet physically open, but it really gives us some kind of prospectus to look forward. That's very good to hear. People who are in different parts of the world could reconnect back to the home church. That's wonderful. And of course, during especially during the pandemic, it's going to be a source of spiritual encouragement and strength. And so there's that reconnect that's taking place because you've moved things online. That's really good. And now you can continue, you know, continue serving and ministering to them wherever they are, which are part of the world. That's good. Yeah. Yeah. So I see the question from kind of when do we reopen in-person classes for the Bible College? Kind of be both thinking of January initially, but we were, you know, we just we didn't announce it. We had to make a final decision just from a safety perspective because, you know, in our Bible College, it's a dormitory style. We don't have individual rooms for students. So it is something we have to keep in mind. Now, there are certain colleges that have opened up, but from what I've heard, you know, they do weekly testing. And they have separate, they have basically rooms where two or three students are there. So even if one of them is unwell, you know, they can quarantine safely. And they're not allowed to go out of that room for, you know, until they recover and all that, which is something we cannot do, given our hostels, our dormitory style. And we don't have individual rooms for students and things like that. So that's one reason why we are, you know, not hurrying into this. So we will this week, I think we will make a final decision. We wanted to wait till October to see especially also what the government is doing, what is what permissions the government is giving to educational institutions, things like that. So based on that, we will also be able to make our decision, because of course we have to be aligned to government permissions and regulations. So the thing is, there's a lot of testing, you know, some colleges that require students to be tested regularly and all of that. So we don't want, we can't keep pushing our by the college students to go do all that. So that's why we are thinking what to do. So most likely, most likely we will send an email will announce it, but most likely we'll continue with online classes next semester, just because of the reasons I mentioned, and then get back to in person classes in August next year. Most likely that will be the decision, but we will decide when we when we have a meeting and then announce it. Okay. All right, so, so what we will do tomorrow is tomorrow. We will do a quick review, or we'll do a review of the entire course. Just go away everything sort of fresh our minds on it so you know you can we can take that with us and you know, I know right now, you may not be able to apply these things immediately because, you know, churches are just getting back and now the ministry is just getting back, but you know, keep these things in mind. And then, you know, in the future, when you have chance to get into get back into ministry personally, you can apply these things to the work you're doing. And then there will be a review of the course. And with that, we will finish, and the member will be a time just for assessments, which I will create, and you could finish that off by the end of the month. So okay, let's close and we will dismiss please. Yeah. Is your phone okay? Can you pray? I can't hear you, I think. It's a little noisy, you couldn't hear it. But yeah, Dave, would you pray and we will close and dismiss please. Thank you for today, once again, Lord Jesus, we thank you that we had this opportunity to be in this class, learn from you. Yes, your son wrote Jesus, your appointed son wrote Jesus, whatever we've done today, whatever all those challenges that we are about to face, which is not like Lord Jesus. We give our life and everything that we have into your hand, Lord Jesus. You have each one of us, Lord Jesus, as we move ahead, Lord God, because you're wisdom, you're revelation, you're understanding Lord Jesus. So that we can respond in every situation occurring to your will and your understanding. I pray that you be with each one of us the rest of the day and help each one of us. In the mighty name of Jesus, I pray. Amen. Amen. Thank you, Lord Jesus. Thank you, Dave. Thank you. Thank you. Kind of no problem. Thank you, Karen. God bless you all. See you tomorrow. Bye now.


Hello everyone, my name is John Hammond and this is another video for try hack me one awesome online training platform That's kind of on par and I think sometimes even better than hack the box So let's dive into it I'm gonna switch to my screen over here and you can see I am logged in to try hack me try hack me calm The only rooms that I've completed thus far are just that basic penetration testing room that we had that recent video on And now let's do something else. I want to showcase the ocent room It's all about open-source intelligence, right? That's what ocent the acronym is supposed to really stand for So we need to go ahead and join this room to actually be able to interact with it So I'll let that green button there join room and then we should be able to work with this Looks like we have a few tasks only just a few of them And they say what information can you possibly get starting with just one photo? So we have something to download and that's literally it. Let's go ahead and download this I'll actually try and right-click. Can I do that? Can I do a W get on that? Probably not whatever Let's go ahead and set up a directory so I can work with this.  So let's do this Let's download this file windows XP dot jpeg and I'll put it in THM I have a lot of files apparently just flowing through here whatever and Now we have that file downloaded into the ocent directory. Awesome. So let's go ahead and see what that picture is and It's literally just the background that would come to fault with Windows XP So not the most helpful thing. It's called a jpeg here. We can run Windows on it It's a jpeg run file on it. I Said run Windows. You don't want to run Windows on an image. It says what is this user's avatar of? Don't really know what that could mean here. You could type in like Windows XP, but They give you a nice little hint here in the answer format They the number of asterisks is literally the length of the answer that you're looking for so that might help You can check out the hints if you want, but I want to do my other kind of basic reconnaissance on this file If you're running in Linux a really other great tool you could use to examine metadata is exif tool And if you could install that if you don't have it, it might be able to find the repos So exif tool on that image and we could see here We have some interesting information. It knows the GPS position, which I guess you could use to track down his location latitude and longitude Copyright oh wood flint, which is kind of peculiar And that's all the information that we could get out of that You could do other things like strings on that image to see if there's anything new in there You'll also kind of be able to see some of that metadata really in there if I modify that length to like eight characters long You might be able to see some better potential information Copyright GPS latitude and longitude in his this thing oh wood flint. So let's go ahead and look up what that might be You could literally just kind of Google oh wood flint and You can see some my some my links are purple here because I had to do this challenge obviously myself There's a Twitter account here Looks like there are some write-ups So be careful not to go down that rabbit hole. Don't look at those write-ups Make sure you can solve this yourself unless you really really want to here. All right Let's go take a gander at what all this is. Oh that github repo is actually His name too. So let's look through those. So I opened this Twitter page And that username is the exact same name as what we've seen in the actual image here Just a simple hello world tweet from 2019. It says for my house. I can get free wi-fi. Huh, okay Something odd and strange to share on Twitter Looks like The user's avatar is a cat and I think that is what they're trying to go for I originally when I read that I didn't fully understand it, but Let's go ahead and submit that. Let's see if cat is the right answer Which it is awesome the other question is what city is this person in so We have some of our results twitter Twitter just says space so that doesn't help us all that much Maybe those other links we might have found had some good stuff Oh, this could very well be his github He only has a people finder and that's it. So not a lot of stuff. It says hi. I'm from london Maybe London is the answer that we need here. We could go ahead and try that Submit And that's right too. Okay. Next question is what's the ssid of the WAP he's connected to or the wireless access point Okay, well we have the bssid from his twitter post Click on that. Oh, so someone responded at gilanting what gianting watches. No way. That's not his SSID is it? No, that doesn't really match that format Well, okay, so we could track that down on like weigel or wiggle I honestly don't know how to pronounce the wireless networking map Um, no don't know my location, please You could search for a bssid here over on the side and then if you were to go ahead and hit that filter button I did this and it's kind of annoying. It doesn't bring you to any results really So I just kind of scrolled out and tried to zoomed away zoomed out and tried to see if I could find any results Stuff in the United States. We told him we were in London. We already learned that he's in London So we could go check out over there. Oh, yeah, and you can see just a tiniest blip Over in London We'll zoom way in on that See what information it could give us Whoa Okay so Zooming all the way in It says unilever wifi Yeah, unilever wifi. Let's try that You need a lever Was it a capital F? Yep. Wifi submit Cool. All right Interesting. Don't put your bssid bssssid Out on the internet, especially on twitter. What is his personal email address? Oh, that was on his github page, wasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah project starting soon. Email me if you want to help out. Oh would flint at gmail.com We can slap that in there and what site did you find his email address on that was totally github Done where has he gone on holiday? Huh, okay That's not on his twitter page. That's all that we saw in there And nothing in github really. Oh, he has his own website. He has a little blog It says hey, I'm in new york right now Okay, perfect Contact page Whatever Contact page new york Where's it gone on holiday? What is this person's password? Well, we might be able to do some digging on his website because if he's hosting that himself on the internet We can kind of just view the source and see what the back end is made out of A lot of external links a lot of wordpress stuff Yep, a lot of wordpress stuff I'm in a york right now. So update the system's account my new photos What the heck I'm in new york right now. So update this right away with new photos and there's a A white text paragraph White color text paragraph that is says penny dropper Weird. All right. We can try if that's it. Oh, yeah, it has a period in it. That's gotta be it. It's gotta be it Cool. Whoo We did it That's that room. That is the oscent challenge kind of kind of small stuff kind of simple stuff, right? But um, kind of cool It just goes to show how much information you can really track down if there is metadata available on your pictures here Just simply running x of tool Maybe we were to get able to get a name able to get some information track him down online Even a gps coordinates. That's that's kind of crazy. So Goes to show What sort of information is out there when you put that on the internet? Speaking of that, I should probably go respond to all those twitter messages notification. I have just one no one loves me Hey, if you like the video, please go subscribe to me on the youtube's and follow me on the twitter Thanks for watching everybody. I hope you enjoyed this video.

All the marriage laws in India, whether it is the Hindu Marriage Act, Muslim Marriage Act, Special Marriage Act or any other, state that when two consulting adults want to be married, no third party can interfere. But the conditions are not so simple in practice. In Tamil Nadu, especially couples who married outside their cast report unpleasant experiences at the hands of government officers while registering their wedding. The intercast couples feel that the government officers are taking a casteist attitude towards them. Instead of following legalities, it is said that unofficial regressive internal protocols are followed, which overrule the law. Moreover, many intercast marriages are denied registration by the officers citing futile executions. Here are two intercast couples who are married earlier this year in February and June, sharing their experiences with us. And we went to the sub-registers office in Nilangurai to register our wedding according to every other rule that was mentioned in the website. So we had taken our friends who were witnesses of the wedding and it was five of us who had gone to the registration office that day. And we had taken all the required documents, including photographs of the wedding and also our other card and other details. They had asked us to come on that particular day and we had submitted the documents in front of the sub-register office and they just looked at us and they said, where are your parents? We had come to the intercast marriage and we were invited to attend our wedding. There was no reason for us to wait for so long. When we asked them what is the need for them, they said that they would wait for another hour and they said that they would wait for another hour and they said that they would wait for five and a half hours from four to six o'clock. So when we asked them to take the documents from the sub-register office, they asked us what is the need for them to take the documents from the sub-register office. Only after that and then he said, there is a problem with the registration itself, the application itself. So he cannot register it and he gave us a refusal letter saying that it's suspicious whether the wedding happened at all because the two of us called ourselves atheists and we did not submit any document for being atheists. Sir, I ask that how come you being atheists can happen, a marriage happen in a temple and with a custom and belief. We are quoted saying that this can be considered as a self-respect marriage. In self-respect marriage, there is no restriction that there should be Hindu tradition to be followed or not or if your parents have belief and you don't have belief if you follow certain customary practices, it should be part of it or not. That is part of the, that is the amendment which has been brought in Hindu marriage act, that is applicable for Tamil marriage registration act also. But when officially going, we have to make a decision for a Tamil marriage registration act. For that, I made a decision for a five Tamil marriage registration act and I was thinking about what to do with it. They are asking, what is this, have you seen it? This is color gel ice. Yes, it is color gel ice. According to my self-respect, I can only do that much. We can make a five-dollar registration act, we can make a five-dollar love and guards act, that is the self-respect for me. Some of my friends who wanted to go for inter-caste marriages, even I know- sir is in our University and he has a lot of opportunities to interact with us. He is very good at that. But he has a lot of opportunities. He is very, very good at that. And he has a lot of opportunities. He knows a lot of things that we are doing here. He knows a lot of things that we are doing that we are not doing here. wanted to go for intercourse marriages, even I know some progressive friends with both this DIFE, SFA and all. When they are approaching the registered officers for registering their marriages, the parents of the spouses are compelled to be witnessing the parents and they want to sign the forms in terms of witnesses by the parents themselves. Though there is no return surplus, but there is an unproclaimed circular from upper hands saying that these conditions should be fulfilled for registering the Hindu marriages, where the act never says that this should be done. It is against the Hindu marriage act, clauses of the Hindu marriage act. I am viewing this as a feudalistic point of view. So, though we state that under article 14 of our Indian constitution, we have the right to life. Our rights are being curtailed in the name of this unproclaimed circular stating that we have to bring up parents, especially when it comes for this Hindu marriage, they want to portray the caste. When it comes for especially the intercourse marriages, they want to portray the caste and they are asking us to bring up parents. None of the parents are willing to go for intercourse marriages. Even this condition, I don't know why the government is imposing such an unproclaimed circular and preventing the spouses from getting married when they are interested in getting along with the intercourse marriages. Even though the acts, even the Hindu marriage act or the special marriage act or any Tamil Nadu marriage act doesn't have any provision to bring the parents, but registers, by merely some guidelines which have been issued over the act by the inspector general of register, they are just following that act or they have produced the approach that people who are coming for marriage registration may be of intercourse marriages or interreligious marriages and they need to stop that prejudice the attitudes of the registers also getting reflected in that registration of the acts. When they show their authority, they will be able to identify the people who are going to come for marriage registration. They will be able to identify the people who are going to come for marriage registration. Even if the Tamil Nadu marriage is done for intercourse marriages, there are many other places where there are still murders going on. We have been seeing that every morning. Now there are such unproclaimed acts of intercourse marriages that the parents are unable to do. If parents are unable to do it, there is a murder going on here. We are getting married with the permission of the parents. We are getting married by calling all the relatives. We are not able to identify the people who are going to come for marriage registration. Nowhere in our life we are asked to bring our parents for any proof or anything. We make our decisions right. So why is it that parents have to be there only for the registration of a marriage and especially the women's parents as if we don't we can't make our choices of our own and what if we end up making choices which our parents don't agree for my fortunately for us our parents were there in our wedding but there are hundreds of people who make choices which are more progressive and which are against their parents. The refusal letter which was provided by register states that about guidelines issued by inspector general of register on 2014 and that guidelines were never available to public okay public were never aware of it and the public were it's not even available in the public and it's merely a guideline given to the registers to be followed and it's a customary office related guideline and the register quoted from that guideline to reject our marriage. He has not quoted something from the act or something from the proof we have submitted. He quoted from an internal office guidelines issued by the inspector general of register to the respective just as that has been quoted here and this when we refer even there is an order from the courts also that the guidelines or any thing from any such matters which been issued by for official purposes or office purposes cannot overrule the act act is the predominant okay act is the base any registration should act be registered as per the act guidelines is it's unlawful we are a little bit aware of certain things we were able to take the next steps we are trying to approach to see himself we are trying to take up the help of lawyers public opinion makers and activists who have been already doing the intercast marriages and registrations and all we are dating the help of them we are trying to find a solution how to get it registered but people who are not aware of anything who still have a wish of getting getting their love marriage or intercast marriage to be registered how what hardship they undergo under this unlawful guidelines issued by inspector general of Tamil Nadu. We have Bharatiyaar, we have Ambedkar, we have Periyar. Every each and every single soul was what is that campaigning for this intercast marriages and the progressive sorts of life in this world but I don't know why this Tamil Nadu I don't have gone back almost 50 years back here by claiming these sort of witnesses for registering Hindu marriages. Whereby they are indirectly showing or portraying this intercast this casteism if spouses are ready what they have witnessed or what they have underwent in SROs and they are ready to give an affidavit to me I am ready to file a case before the honorable high court quoting all these things and we can find a solution through appropriate courts of law.


When I work with different organizations, it always amazes me how frequently I hear an expression like this You know, why don't we have any fresh ideas? We can't come up with any new perspectives You can't you know come up with anything innovative And then I look around and everybody there's basically the same the whole organization They've hired a bunch of people that are just like themselves and so they don't have any diversity there And so that's my first comment is well You don't have any fresh ideas because you all have the same perspective and it may be a good perspective But you need some diversity in here of all sorts. So in this video We want to talk a little bit about working in diverse teams because that's what we should be looking for is Involvement engagement in diverse teams which comes with lots of benefits and also some challenges So let's address all of that and discuss why this is important and what we can do to enhance our ability to work in diverse teams So first of all, let's define group diversity real quick Diversity is just a group diversity is persons with varying characteristics Including cognitive skills personality traits and factors that shape our identities such as race, age, gender, religion, sexual orientation, cultural background, etc So when we say diversity automatically a lot of times we think you know race and ethnicity and certainly that is diversity And that's those are important perspectives as well as you know, age gender knows those different kinds of characteristics are important That we have diversity in that regard in our group because you know people from those different backgrounds come with different Perspectives and we should want that we should want, you know different viewpoints and different people with different Experiences to bring different ideas and so yes absolutely that is a part of group diversity And if you look around and everybody in the group looks just like you then that's that's going to be a problem But that's not the only way we can define diversity and should define diversity Diversity includes things like cognitive skills or just different ways of thinking, you know, some people are more Straightforward and and you know kind of in the way that they process information and some people are more creative You know that whole idea of left brain right brain, which is kind of coming to question But you get the idea that so we want people with different cognitive skills We want people different personality traits Because mixing all that together is where you start to find ways to complement one another and fill in those gaps That you may not have as an individual or as a certain type of person But you can fill in those gaps by bringing in people from other backgrounds. So your group ideally should be as diverse as possible That's what you want. I was thinking this too in terms of sports So in basketball, for example, you can have one player kind of take over the game and professional basketball in particular But in baseball, I love baseball and I love the St. Louis Cardinals in particular go Cardinals But but I love baseball because it takes an entire team. You need that diversity, right? You can't just have a team of great hitters and just the worst pitching ever and still expect to do well on vice versa You know, you got to have you got to have enough hitters solid hitters But you also have to have a great pitching staff you have to have people who can play in the field well and And so you need all of that diversity and different personalities and different things in the clubhouse all the Kind of off the field stuff too. You need people to fill those roles So you need a lot of diversity to make, you know, a really good professional baseball team Which one of the things I love about the Cardinals they do a great job of putting together these teams And win every year obviously, but they win plenty You know, especially in comparison to the Cubs, for example They win plenty of World Series, but every year they're competitive It seems like very few years in there competitive because they understand the importance of a diverse Team in in all regards on the field off the field in all aspects of the game So in your group, we ought to be looking for that diversity somebody who sees M But also somebody who sees W, right? We want that kind of diversity and to bring a completeness to our team So what does that do for us? We know that there are a variety of impacts from diversity positive effects that come from diversity Starting with the fact that diverse groups are more effective in decision-making and problem-solving Can you bring all those different perspectives together?  This is after you've come together as a team now That can be a challenge and we'll talk about that in in just a moment But but when you get together as team when you put all the pieces together and things are running smoothly Then we know that that diverse teams are more effective in decision-making and problem-solving than homogenous teams So the other thing that we know about diverse teams is that that we see an increase in innovation right when you have these homogenous teams these teams that look alike and think alike and and We see this in organizations historically you look at organizations that that oftentimes fail in the long run They'll have this enormous surge and they'll think oh well This is who we are. This is what we ought to do. So we hire a bunch of people that are just like us Because we want to keep that going right But then it gets stale and you don't think outside the box and you you know We end up falling off right so think about like IBM back in the day IBM was a huge organization But they got to be so big that they got to be so homogenous that there was very little creativity and they were very much You know not to use a cliche but inside the box thinking right so that when Steve Jobs brings them Apple computers And see was neck bring them Apple the idea for Apple they say no no no that's not what we do That's not us and they let him go and they so they have no stagons and then eventually IBM has fallen off They're no longer one of the biggest companies no no no longer hold that importance because they saw that decrease in innovation diverse teams Bring an increase in innovation when you bring in different people different perspectives different experiences Then you bring in different ideas different ways of doing things and you continue to innovate in that way So diverse teams see an increase in innovation Diverse teams also see a decrease in group think we're gonna talk of just for a minute here about what group think is But you know to start with it's bad group think is bad And so when you have a homogenous team you start to see more group think diverse teams see the last group think so What is group think? Well group think is the practice of thinking or making decisions as a group in a way that discourages Creativity or individual responsibility so group think essentially says that okay. We're gonna go along We're gonna you know We just get caught up in the in the momentum in the flow here We're gonna we're gonna do things the way that that the leader says we should do them or the way that the group seems to be Trending despite the fact that we may have these voices in the back of our head saying no this is a bad idea This is I have questions about this or I think there's a different way of doing this that might work out better But I don't want to say that because I don't want to be the standout in the group You know the there's an expression in Japanese that says the nail that stands out gets hammered right? And I don't want to be the nail that gets hammered I'm just gonna go on so we get into group think and then we all end up just falling off the cliff together, right? Because we're just following along. We're not really thinking so we just okay Well that person involved clip so I must supposed to be fall falling off the cliff as well, right? One example of this that we see in fairly contemporary history is in 2003 the US invasion of Iraq Is an example of growth group think a classic example of group think you had this kind of momentum First of all people were feeling pressure about You know we need to to respond to 9-11 we were already in Afghanistan And so there's this pressure that things aren't happening quickly enough And so people are feeling pressure to make things happen and and get things done in the wake of 9-11 And so we get this whisper of weapons of mass mass destruction in Iraq And so then everybody grabs onto that and says oh, this is something we can do and and should do and you know All along you hear from people all the time who were saying for example secretary then Secretary of State Colin Powell has said in a book I had I had reservations I had concerns about whether or not our intelligence was accurate and I kind of think but he readily admits them to that but I didn't say So loudly enough and it didn't object because I went along I just thought this is what we're supposed to do So he got caught up in that group thinking everybody did we ended up then starting a war in Iraq Expanding the war in the Middle East to Iraq Over something that wasn't there has been determined that there were no weapons of mass destruction Like we thought that where that was false information and but people got so caught up in that that's an example of group think It's sort of in more modern context. We can see this in With the way we view cable news right Fox News and MSNBC both not to pick a side in fact, I'm not really Crazy about either to be honest But Fox News and MSNBC are examples of group things in in some ways You know in some ways they're news organizations and they provide effective information and things like that But in other ways if their examples group think because people just stop Questioning the accuracy of things and stop questioning.  Are they being honest with us with you know, and we know now and today and so they're making this video We're just coming off the settlement of the Dominion voting machines lawsuit against Fox News Claiming that Fox News knowingly lied about and put people on the air who lied about what was happening in the voting machines during the during the 2020 election presidential election, right? And we know from texts and and emails and different things like that that the personalities of Fox News knew that this was false For sure right and they've said, you know, this was false We we we put these people on knowing that it was crazy. They said it was literally said it was crazy All of this just came out right and yet you hear people Fox News people not not Fox News Personalities but people who watch Fox News still saying I don't care. They're they're mice. They're my station I'm you know, I don't care that they knowingly lied to us for for the last couple years and that kind of thing But we're just gonna keep following along that is group think my friends that is group think people do it on both sides People do it with MSNBC as well, although we haven't had reports and MSNBC is Just out lying about things in the same way that we have about Fox News But so you get the idea that we get in these echo chambers we get This momentum of following these things and then we feel like personally it might cost us more to be wrong about that So we just we just go along with it and we buy into it even more we double down and that's group think and that's that's an issue So Diversity in a group Decreases that because people are more willing to say now they're willing raise your hand say no I don't think that's the right thing to do Let's we ought to look at it from from this perspective or in a different way and try it in a different way When you have diversity in a group you see the decrease of group think within that group Which is critical now this is none of this is to say that Diversity is easy in groups diversity is something we should want and should strive for It also presents a number of challenges within a group as we as we look at group work So let's take a look at what some of those are first of all you see when you bring diverse people together You're going to see different styles of communication. They're coming from different cultures and different communication backgrounds So you see for example high context and low context communicators high context communicators tend to look Beyond the verbal expression So let me start with this low context people look more at the verbal expression and they take people at their word And they say well, that's what they said so that's what it must be And they just kind of it's like looking through the peephole of a door right instead of it You know opening the door and seeing the whole perspective You're only looking at that one specific and you know defined area low context communication looks specifically at Verbal communication and goes from there high context communicators though will take a look at other aspects of communication They'll take more They'll put more into the non-verbals and different things like that of of the communicator and the history between the two and what their Position is and all of those types of things they will look at at Different contexts again, they broaden their context and look at different things outside of the verbal aspect of things So when you have people from both of those different backgrounds Then you have to figure out okay, who's who and how does that impact? How do I need to adjust how I hear what this person says and the input they they provide and how I communicate with this person based on The differences in our views of you know high context or low context communicators So we have to adjust our communication styles overall and be more aware of those types of things We'll also look at accents and fluency if you're if you're dealing with people who aren't speaking the same primary language Okay So if I'm English is my primary language and I speak a little bit of Spanish But not much but if I'm working with somebody whose primary language is you know Chinese and they speak English So we may communicate in English, but I also have to understand that that may be more challenging for them And they may have trouble expressing their ideas the way that they want to and so we may have to be more patient with that It's not that their ideas don't have merit or that they're not smart enough or whatever It's just that you know They're having to work harder to put those ideas into a language that I can understand Because we're speaking different languages literally so accents fluency those types of things we have to take that into account and You know in some ways set it aside and remember that it's the idea that matters and not you know Whether or not they have more trouble expressing it or I have more trouble understanding it because of those different different aspects as well We may have different attitudes toward hierarchy. Okay, so people from a high power distance culture put a lot of regard into To the placement of Somebody within that organization for example, and so if you're a leader of a group, they're not going to challenge you if the leader of the group says Well, this is my thought and this is my idea They're probably not going to challenge that because they come from a society where that's not encouraged in the United States That's not the case. We have a very low power distance culture here where we question people all the time You know, it doesn't mean we can be disrespectful, but but we can question people There's no we don't see a specific you know inherent difference between some between us and somebody else just because they happen to have This job or that role or whatever We're going to question those things regardless and be more comfortable doing so But we have to recognize that if we're working with somebody who's from a different culture like that They may not be as willing to speak up We may have to draw them out a little bit more and say hey, it's okay We want ideas just because I said this and I happen to be in a higher position Doesn't mean that's the end of the discussion I need you to Contribute in the challenge and so we need to be sensitive to those things and then the decision-making norms, you know Some societies are going to be more you know in the United States we were Democratic Republic right so we're used to more consents or more more Voting and you know consensus and majority rules and that kind of thing type of a decision-making as opposed to We're going to say people from cultures that are more That are more used to Autocracy for example or for for my again if they're from a low power to our high power distance culture excuse me They may be used to people just saying well This is what we're doing one person's making the decision the others are following along and they may have some input and things But but one person is going to make the decision so they may be waiting for somebody else to kind of speak up and say This is what we're doing. They may not be as comfortable with the whole idea of voting and and majority rules and things So we need to consider that there are different decision-making norms for people from different cultures as well We need to understand all these things and manage them though Understanding that the payoff again for diversity is well worth the effort that it takes to to manage these things and to really Consider these things and keep them in mind and we consider the benefits of diverse groups They far outweigh any of these challenges which in the end are manageable If we just have to be aware of them as well as other things and manage those things And then we can get the the benefits of that diversity in the group So we should be looking for as diverse a group as possible whether it's a work team whether it's you know Whatever kind of team we're putting together that diversity is only going to help us once we learn to Manage those challenges and come together as a group That that diversity is going to pay big big dividends for so it's well worth our time and energy to figure out They have most effective ways of working in diverse groups putting together and working in those diverse groups If you have questions about about group diversity or small group communication in general Please feel free to email me. I'd love to hear from you there And in the meantime, I hope this gives you a new perspective on the importance and the benefits of diversity in small groups


What did you do with your old phone from high school or your laptop that you spilled coffee over? Are they locked away in a drawer somewhere or did you throw them in the trash? Electronics consumption is increasing worldwide, but what happens to all of these devices when they reach the end of their lives? In 2019, the world produced 53.6 million metric tons of e-waste, equivalent to the weight of more than 150,000 jumbo jets combined. Only 17.4% of this waste was collected and recycled. Around the world, youth are emerging as leaders in sustainability, and we invite you to join us in our cause to make e-waste management a global priority. The Generation Connect Global E-Waste Iconathon is an icon design competition for young people aged 18 to 29 years. Create an icon to signify the take-back and collection of e-waste that can be used and understood by retailers and consumers around the world. The winning icon aims to identify where consumers can dispose of their e-waste responsibly. Be one of the top three finalists who will work with professional designers to develop their icon and present it in person in June 2022 at the Generation Connect Youth Summit.

In times of war, families can be separated and people can go missing. The International Committee of the Red Cross's Central Tracing Agency has the unique role of preventing disappearances and maintaining family links. We have been doing this for more than 150 years. When the hostility is escalated between the Russian Federation and Ukraine in February 2022, we set up the Central Tracing Agency Bureau for the International Conflict between the Russian Federation and Ukraine. Our aim is to prevent disappearances and alleviate the suffering of families who have been separated from their loved ones. It's the first time we've done this since the war in Iraq, 20 years ago, and it's the first of this scale since World War II. We pick up the phone when family members call us looking for their loved ones. We are receiving calls on daily basis and we don't know who will reach us and what will be the next call. The duration of call can be totally different. It depends on the situation. And we never interrupt people and we never stop them. So it means that we want to make them feel and be heard and just to share what they want to share. Every call that we receive, every email, every online form, every visit, every letters, we register all those requests into our system to make sure that this is processed and that we keep a trace of all the calls that we receive. And just trying to always double check in very detailed name, last name and patron name and date of birth because even one discrepancy can lead to the fact that we will inform the wrong person. A small mistake can have a huge cost in terms of people life. I'm a caseworker. I work with the families of missing people and families of prisoners of war. I contact them via letters, calls. In case I have any information about their loved ones, about prisoners of war, I call back the families. I update them. We fill all the details, like very precisely the address you see here. We put like village, rayon, rayon is like a district. Oblast is a region and like the country. Here very detailedly we put details on scars, on tattoos, birth marks, if any. So my work is working with the families and trying to make the files as full as possible. So nothing is missing and nobody is ignored. We've just received a new list from the authorities with a couple of hundred names on it. Because this is an international conflict, both Ukraine and the Russian Federation have a legal obligation to share with us information about all enemy soldiers and civilians that have fallen into their hands, such as prisoners of war, enemy soldiers that have been retrieved from the battlefield and captured enemy civilians, so to speak. Whenever we receive lists of detained persons from the authorities, Ukrainian or Russians, we compare those lists with the lists of missing people we are aware about from their families. Whenever we find a correspondence between those lists, we call this a match. It means that we have an answer to the families of the missing. As a data analyst, I have a few main tasks. One of the main tasks is name matching and other details to aid matching of identities. We get a list of names, other details and we want to see if we have these people in order to base. So there's a new list that just came in. I'm going to run it through our algorithm which will help us find potential matches precisely and efficiently. Once I have a list of potential matches, my colleagues will go through it one by one and make the final decision on whether it's a match or not. Acting as a neutral intermediary, our role is to share the information that we have received from one party with the other so that they can take stock of the fate of these individuals and inform their families accordingly. And in all this, the fact that we act as a neutral entity between the states is crucial to the fact that we are in fact at the centre of this system of exchange of information. The dignified and proper documentation of the dead is crucial in order to prevent them from becoming missing persons. It's extremely important for families to receive this information so that they can begin the process of grieving. In this conflict, families have been surrounded by so much information, so much that they can trust and they may sometimes not trust. And it's very precious for us to establish the relations with the family and to show and demonstrate that we are trustworthy sources of information. Hello. Hi. Do you have something for me? Oh, yes, you too. As long as the search for missing people goes on, we keep storing information about them and the circumstances of this appearance and any additional information about what happened to the missing people that could be useful one day for the search. All this information is stored in two main formats, a digital format in a database and also in a paper format in a safe manner. Every cabinet has its own label so we can keep a track where everything goes. Whatever is received and processed by a data team here at the CTA Bureau, we print it out and we keep it as a paper file so that we have it as a reference in any circumstances and also that it's easily retractable and reachable for the case workers that would work with individual cases. One of the biggest pains in the world is the pain of not knowing. Not knowing for sure. Not knowing if your loved one is sick. Not knowing if your loved one is alive. And this is absolutely excruciating. This is something that you cannot live with. This is something that you cannot move to the next day with. And families who are not knowing, they're living with this pain 24 hours, 7 days per week. And this is something that we try to ease their pain with. And we can ease their pain with information.
