Hello, this is David Diga Hernandez, and you're watching Spirit Church here on the Encounter TV Network. I want to talk to you about finances. Now, I know this subject has been covered and has been abused in the past, but I want to assure you we're going to take a biblical approach to this subject, but it's still important that you learn about the provision of God in the midst of famine. The first Stephen Mock to Zoom is here with me. He's going to lead you in some very anointed worship, and then we're getting right into this message. Here's Stephen. So people ask me, do you believe the prosperity gospel? I can assure you I certainly don't believe the poverty gospel, but all joking aside, people do want to know. What do you think about the prosperity gospel, prosperity gospel, and there's all this talk of the prosperity gospel? Now, everybody defines the subject differently or I should say the term differently to one person. Prosperity gospel might mean one thing and to another prosperity gospel might mean another. So let me be very clear. I do not believe that we serve God for what we can get out of him. I do not believe that the Bible promises that every believer will be rich. I do not believe that money is a sign of God's love and favor. I do not believe that you can give money in exchange for a miracle or for a healing. I don't believe those things to me. That is the prosperity gospel. But if by the prosperity gospel, you think that it means maybe that God prospers the believer in times of difficulty. Yes, I believe that. But again, I must stress this. Not every believer is going to be a millionaire. Not every believer is going to be a wealthy business person. We have brothers and sisters all over the world who are under the threat of persecution. Their worry isn't what kind of car am I going to drive or what kind of clothes I'm going to wear. Their worries are about life and death. Their worries about where they're going to gather for church. So I want to approach this subject with integrity and I want to approach this subject with biblical truth. But I do want to encourage those of you who experience or are experiencing economic difficulty or economic uncertainty. And I want to show you what the Bible teaches concerning this subject. So let's go now to First Kings chapter 17. And I want to read verse number eight. I'm going to begin reading verse number eight. Here we go. Then the Lord said to Elijah, go and live in the village of Zarephath near the city of Sedan. I have instructed a widow there to feed you. Now that right there is interesting. Notice that God tells the prophet Elijah. I have instructed a widow there to feed you. So keep that in mind as we continue to read. So he went to Zarephath. And as he arrived at the gates of the village, he saw a widow gathering sticks. And he asked her, would you please bring me a little water and a cup? As she was going to get it, he called to her, bring me a bite of bread, too. But she said, I swear by the Lord, you're God, that I don't have a single piece of bread in the house. And I have only a handful of flour left in the jar and a little cooking oil in the bottom of the jug. I was just gathering a few sticks to cook this last meal.  Now, this was interesting to me because remember, God told the prophet, I instructed a widow there. Yet when he gets there, she acts like she never heard the command of God. This is what people do in difficult times when they face difficult scenarios economically or financially. And God gives them a command. The first human response is to pretend like they didn't hear it or to really be dismissive of it or to try to make an excuse to get out of that command. So she tells the prophet, look, I don't have anything. I can't give you this because my son and I were planning on eating this.  And she gave her excuse. But then the prophet says, don't be afraid. Verse 13, go ahead and do just what you've said, but make a little bread for me first, then use what's left to prepare a meal for yourself and your son. For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel says, there will always be flour and olive oil left in your containers until the time when the Lord sends rain and crops grow again. So she did, as Elijah said, and she and Elijah and her family continue to eat for many days. Think about this. She gave her excuse, yet the prophet still confronted her with a challenge to her faith. God had spoken to her. We know that because in verses above God says, I've already instructed her. Yet even though she was instructed by God, she tried to put her excuses out. Now imagine if a preacher were to do that today to some old woman who was in some financial hardship, everyone would criticize him. But the prophet Elijah heard from the Lord and he knew that encouraging her to give, even with her lack, that he was positioning her to walk in the provision of God. Now, let me make something clear. Every curse has been broken by the blood of Jesus.  Whether or not you give financially, healing is still promised to you. I often tell people who come to our healing meetings, especially when taking the offering, I'll say, now, let me be very clear with you. This gift that you're sowing is in no way tied to your miracle. And I really resent when preachers tried to make it seem like it is because the Bible doesn't say that. The Bible doesn't teach that God won't heal you if you don't give. The Bible doesn't teach in the New Testament that you're cursed if you withhold a certain amount from a ministry or a church. But look at what the Bible does say. In verse 16, there was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers just as the Lord had promised to Elijah. Now, the Lord already declared through his prophet. Look at this. This is so key. I think very few preachers actually catch this. I want you to notice in verse 12 that that she says, I don't have anything.  And then the prophet Elijah in verse 13 instructs her. And then in verse 14, he tells her that she will always have enough. Now, you notice he gave her that promise before she even gave. Really think about this. The prophet Elijah declared the word of the Lord over her that she would always have enough. So she wasn't giving in order to activate some supernatural flow. She wasn't giving to get that going again. She was giving because she believed and she knew that God was going to take care of her already. So when we give as New Testament believers, we're not giving to avoid some curse that God is sending down upon us. We're giving because it's a demonstration that we believe that God is going to take care of us. So when it comes to prosperity, the biblical definition of prosperity is that God meets your needs and then gives you enough left over to help others near to you. Never does the Bible promise that every believer will live a lavish lifestyle. Never does the Bible promise that every believer will be a millionaire. Never does the Bible promise that all believers will avoid all trials. No, but the Bible does promise is that God will meet your need and God will give you enough to be a blessing to those around you. So why do we give? Do we give to get? No, we get because what Jesus did for us is complete. And that love, that provision is already flowing. God provides for us even if we don't give. Have you noticed that even non-givers have meals? Have you noticed that even non-givers have a place to live? God isn't going to curse you, but you are missing out on the blessing of giving. What is the blessing of giving? The blessing of giving is the joy of participating in the kingdom of God. The blessing of giving is knowing that you're obeying the voice of God because it is disobedient to withhold, but there's no curse that comes on you if you do. But if you live consistently in that lifestyle, then it's that lifestyle that leads to lack. It's that mentality that leads to lack. It's that selfishness, that hoarding, that clinging to material goods that leads to lack. Again, I must stress to you, it is the mindset of the non-giver that leads to lack, not God cursing them from heaven.  And then you start calling all the ministries.  Or you call the ministry say, you know what, I have to stop my giving because things are tough. Do you realize that when things are tough, the last thing you should stop giving to is the gospel? God is going to take care of you. Believe it. God is going to provide for you. Believe it. It's happened. It's it's already done in the heavenly realm. God has promised to provide. Now, if you believe that promise, you give. So again, getting back to why we give, we don't give to get. We don't give to receive a miracle. We don't give because we're trying to hoard more gain upon ourselves. No, we give because we love the Lord. We give because we trust the Lord. We give because we want to obey the Lord. We give to be a blessing to others. So I challenge you in the midst of economic hardship and the midst of financial difficulty, don't stop supporting the gospel. You may think that you have an excuse. You may think that it's reasonable. You may think that God's looking down and saying, you know what, you are in a tough situation. You really should be wise. Often, let me tell you something. This is the truth. I know it's going to offend some, but you need to hear this. I'm not trying to offend you. I'm trying to tell you the truth because I love you often. We use the word wisdom. To describe what is actually a lack of faith, say that again. We use the word wisdom to describe what is actually a lack of faith.  We give because we trust that God has provided. We give because we want to be obedient to his voice. We give because we love him. We give because we know that our future is secure. The world economy could collapse tomorrow, but not the kingdom economy. The kingdom economy is sustained by God and God is reliable. Never do you have to worry because God will provide for you. God will give you provision in the midst of the famine. Going on to read in verse 16 again, there was always enough flour and olive oil left in the containers, just as the Lord had promised to Elijah. That's the promise of God enough.  So step out in faith, hold strong, don't give into fear. Don't believe your own excuses, instead obey the Holy Spirit and trust and know that God has secured your future.  Now, I want to pray with you. I want to pray that God would give you this faith. Now, when I say that tomorrow is for sure, I'm not contradicting the verse that nobody's promised me. I'm talking about that if you make it to tomorrow, God's going to provide for your needs. But I do want to pray for you. I want to pray that God would give you faith. God would give you courage to continue to be a kingdom supporter. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray now for an inspiration to begin to well up within that one who needs this. Father, there are people watching this right now. Uncertain about their future. Worried about their finances. I pray, Lord, that you would remind them that you are their source. Give them peace in the midst of the chaos in the name of Jesus. We pray I want you to say it because you believe it. Say amen. Well, that is it for the lesson. I want to welcome now the new members of Spirit Church. There you are up on the screen. We love you. We are praying for you. I always say that because I always mean it.

If you love this content, you love the ministry and you want to see us continue to release media like this and you want to see us continue to hold events all around the world. The ministry is continuing and during this season, this ministry is thriving. I'm telling you it's thriving. And I want you to connect with that favor. This content is quality. This content is excellent. And we want to keep it coming out. We want to keep doing these events for free. We don't charge for them. We don't charge registrations for our events. We don't charge a paywall to get into our videos. I can't imagine. Can you imagine somebody coming to an event wanting to receive a touch from God and they're walking in and they say, sorry, you can't come in because you don't pay them. You didn't pay the registration fee and that person can't afford it. Or they're wanting to see a video on YouTube and say, oh, my goodness, this is something I've been needing to hear. I want to hear how to overcome depression. I want to hear the voice of the Holy Spirit. I want to know how to pray for the sick. And then it says, well, actually, that's going to be $20. And they think, I can't pay this. I don't have enough. We don't want to do that. So here's our strategy. You ready? Here's our here's our well thought out strategy for continuing in ministry. Trust God. That's what our ministry does. We just trust God. We trust that God's going to provide in his way. And I'll tell you the way God provides. God provides for ministries through you. He did it with a Levitical priest. He did it with the early apostles. He does it still today as we minister the gospel. It's through you, our supporters. So if you've been considering giving to this minister, becoming a partner, now is the time. Don't let fear grip your heart. Don't believe your own excuses. If you have to cancel Netflix, Hulu, Disney Plus, all that, it's all it's not going to edify your spirit anyway. So let this be your streaming service. And while you're paying for this streaming service, you're actually blessing others with the content who otherwise could not afford it. So become a partner today, $10 a month, $20 a month, $30 a month. Some of you can do more monthly, but do it right now. You've been waiting. You've been thinking about it. Today is the day to do it.

Hello. This unit discusses the main aspects of morphological typology and the realization of morphological aspects across languages. Using as many examples as possible, the following topics will be discussed, parameters of morphological classification, inflectional morphology, grammatical categories and inflection. In the virtual session, we will first look at the two extremes, analytic and synthetic, and we'll then define and exemplify several synthetic language types. Use the optional question sheet with its hyperlinks as default guidance if you don't know where to start. The mastery worksheet, once more, a dynamic multiple choice test presents several questions about inflectional cross-language and structural typology in particular, aspects that are all discussed in the virtual session. And the practical sheet provides you with data from several languages to deepen your insight into the structural classification of languages. Try on your own first, the model solutions will be given later. As usual, a lot of material, but at the same time profitable and, as we hope, enjoyable too.


Hi everyone, it's MJ and we're looking at question 8 from the September 2017 paper now This question is dealing with the properties of Estimators and we're gonna see that part one is probably the hardest part and then the rest is fairly straightforward Okay, so the question starts with saying the following the two random variables x1 and x2 are independent from each other and follow a Uniform distribution where our parameter is greater than zero and We have our estimator and we're saying that it is equal to 3z and we're saying that Z is equal to a maximum of x1 and x2 Now we need to show that the probability density function of z is given by the following and This is I mean the examiners are recognizing that this is a difficult question Not only are they telling us what the answer should be so we'll know if we get it right or if we get it wrong So yeah, not only they're giving us the answer, but they're also giving us a clue They say by first deriving its cumulative distribution function So with those two clues, we should be able to give quite a good attempt at it Yeah, it would have been a much harder question. They just said show the probability density function of z But now we know what to aim for and we have our clue which is to do the cumulative distribution first Okay, so let's do that. So cumulative distribution denoted by the big fz and This is just equal to the probability that the z is less than little z Which as we've been told is equal to the probability max x1 and x2 is less than z Which is going to equal the probability that x1 is less than z and x2 is less than z and we know this because our x1 and our x2 are Independent and identically distributed you do get a mark for saying that so don't leave that out in the exam Okay, we also know that this is coming from the uniform distribution and the continuous one So we want to keep that in mind when we now come here where we have the following We have Cumulative distribution z here is going to be equal to the probability x1 less than z squared and What that's going to do is if we look in the book of formulas we can see what the cumulative distribution is of z of the uniform distribution and actually let's just get it out. Let me just Write it out. Let me find it in the little book. Yeah, we go. So I'm looking at page 13 of the formulas where it will say that f of x equals x minus a over b minus a but now we're in a situation where B is equal to our parameter and a is equal to the negative of that parameter and Instead of using x. We're using z. So and we're squaring all of it So we're going to get a situation where we have z minus the negative parameters So we're going to be plusing that parameter Subtracting that just that we're going to get to and then we have it squared Okay, cool, but we're not out of the woods yet We're not out of the woods yet We know that the answer or the question is asking us to find the probability density function And now we have just done the cumulative distribution function So how do we get to the next step? Well, we know that we need to take the derivative we know that probability distribution function is equal to the derivative of our cumulative distribution Which is going to be equal To the following and this is where You do need to be quite sharp with your maths. You need to know how to handle the sort of derivative and you'll get the following as your answer and What is nice? We can now check that with what the question told us and we can see oh look at that We did get the same answer. So we know we're going to get the four marks Remember you had to have said that in order to get to this step over here So, yeah, that is four marks. That is the hard part of the question I mean what we're going to see now the rest is fairly straightforward We want to show that the expected value of z is equal to a third of the parameter So what we do here? I mean expected value of z the general formula is You know z Z DZ so this is going to be equal negative theta Positive theta We have our Z then we have I guess what's nice the fact that they gave it to us over here Is that even if you bombed out in this question? You can now use this for the second part and you're not just gonna lose all your marks But you know you do need to This was a very mathematical question because now what we're doing is we did We did the other derivative in the previous question now we're having to find the integral of this Which also some people find a little bit of a challenge, especially if they are Rusty on their maths, but you should get to the following plus z squared over for their theta negative theta and then you plug those values in and Ta-da Gonna play plugging those into the Z values and you are going to get your theta over 3 Once again, they are being nice in the sense that they're telling us what the answer is because I guess this is going to be Leading on to the next question where we have to use that result So now they're asking us to find the bias Yeah, that's what the next question saying it says Derived the bias of this estimator Okay, and what we know the we know the formula of the bias because we have been studying and You know, that's the expected value of whatever the function is minus a little parameter so if we look here, we have the following we have expected value of 3z minus theta, which is same saying 3 expected sorry z minus theta Which is equal to 3 times That we're getting that value from over there Minus theta and we're getting a bias of 0. Okay, which is sometimes a common answer, which is quite nice So yeah, we've done that now says derive an expression for the mean squared error Okay, in terms of the unknown parameter Okay, and once again, this is going to be a bit of a tricky question What we do know we do know is because the bias is equal to 0 We can start writing this out. Yeah, we know that the mean square error is equal to you know the variance of That plus the bias squared So function, but we know that this is zero so we just need to find the variance of ZX of well variance of our little parameter guy who in this case is the variance of 3z Which is equal to 9 Variants z reason why we do that constant. We take it out and we can square it Okay, but this is where the fun starts. We know variance is equal to Equal here. I must try to check following it on. It's the expected value of the z squared minus Expected squared z Okay, and this is What we need to do what we do need to do is Find out what this term is. Yeah, we know what this one is because we just is that It's gonna be squared over nine But what we do need to do is Find this one. Let's go expect the value of Z squared that is going to be equal To our integral Z squared times our probability distribution function There d z you do the math and you get the following z power four eight theta squared plus z cubed over six theta by our two bounds and That is going to give us theta squared over three okay Which means we can now Return to this and we see we have the following nine We have pizza squared over three minus Peter squared divided by nine. Where am I getting that from? Where am I getting that from? I'm getting that from this value here squared okay because that is easy and we're looking at easy it squared okay, so you have this here and Ta-da our mean square error. It's going to be equal to two theta squared Which is actually quite quite large that is. Yeah, that is quite large Anyway that is Those two questions. They're done what we now move on to is gonna do basically the same thing again They've just told us that we now have another estimator where it is equal to two Z Remember Z is still going to stay the maximum of X1 and X2 Different estimator. Oh, yeah, once again there it says okay show that the bias now is equal To that we have a little bit of a negative bias so once again we have Bias of our second estimator is Going to be the expected value of this estimator minus that parameter And that's going to be equal to the expected value of two Z minus theta which is equal to Expected value of Z minus theta and we know that two Z is Equal to two theta over three minus theta and we have Our answer of negative theta over three Which is what they'd given us yay, you know why that was two marks that maybe should be worth one mark And then what we know now is that we have to use a more complicated formula for the MSc because our bias isn't zero So here our MSc is going to be equal to the second estimator It's going to be equal to the variance of the second estimator plus the bias squared and This is going to give us a situation of The variance of two Z plus our bias which is Sigma squared over nine Okay, which is equal to four times the variance of Z That's sigma squared divided by nine and We have figured out what the variance is From the earlier questions So what we can simply now do is use that to Oh, yeah, we have the expected value of the Z chair That is our variance So we just use that over here this time now Where we will have or maybe write it in Or sigma squared over three minus sigma squared over nine plus sigma squared over nine and What we're going to see is that this all comes down to an answer of Sigma squared Okay, cool and There we are done Final question now asks us to comment on how good the two estimators are based on your answers in part 3 and 4 so because asking us to look at just 3 and 4 Don't make the mistake of trying to work out consistency or one of the other properties of the estimator use what you have and What you basically need to talk about in the sense that if we had to compare estimator one and Estimated to we'll see estimated one is unbiased Where this one is biased? But this one has a large MSc and this has a smaller MSc unbiased is desirable smaller MSc is desirable so each have got a desirable trait well each of them also has an undesirable trait and I think you have to state that you're going to get your two marks for this question and There we are done It was a bit of a tricky question in the sense that they were combining a lot of the probability and cumulative distribution function mathematics Along with the properties of the estimator But if you've got any questions, please feel free to ask and you guys need to brush up on your maths in order to Do these questions keep well. Cheers


In this short video, I'm going to share with you my simple system for how I prioritize my tasks each day, and the system goes like this. It's three words, grouping, prioritizing, and scheduling, GPS, grouping, prioritizing, scheduling. So the first thing I do is I look at the tasks that I had written down for today, and I group the tasks into either where am I going to do it or what the topic is. So an example of where I'm going to do something is, for example, when I go out on the walk today, on my daily walk, I could also go and deposit a check at the bank. So depositing a check at the bank would go into that group, and then I would also make a video, which is this video, and that would go into that group as well. So that group would be called errands or going out. Another type of grouping would be topics, things I wanted to work on today that would move my business or my life forward, and one example of that would be working on my workshops. So in that group might be items such as draft the registration page for the upcoming workshop or follow up with previous workshop attendees. So that's the first big step is to group my tasks for today into either context or topic, okay? Whatever makes sense to you to do it. You can experiment. As you try the system and experiment, you're going to get better and better at it, you'll find a way that works best for you. So the second step is to prioritize. So within that group, within each group, what is the most important thing that must get done today, okay? So put those at the very top. Maybe it's just one or two or three things. Below that is what are some tasks that are within the group that you would like to get done today. It's beneficial to get done today, but it's not a requirement and put those next. And then finally, everything else in that group, which is things that are optional. You don't really have to get it done today, but you know, someday would be nice, okay? So that's the second step is to prioritize. And the third step is scheduling. Scheduling what I mean here is you could of course schedule individual tasks into your calendar today. So you have the spaciousness, you have the space to say, okay, I know I'm going to take care of that between three and four p.m. today, or what might be easier to do is to schedule groups to say, okay, when am I going on my daily walk today? That would be a group of items like deposit, deposit check at the bank and, you know, make a video or whatever. And then when am I going to work on my workshop stuff today? Maybe that's between three and five p.m. So scheduling the group so that when the time gets there at three p.m., you look at your to-do list and you look at the items in the group that you had scheduled to do. So GPS, grouping your tasks, prioritizing the tasks within the group, and then third is to schedule it in. This is what I do every day and I have been finding it tremendously helpful for many years. I encourage you to try this out, modify the system if you come across something that will work even better for you. And until the next video, I'm George Cowell. Always open to your comments and your questions. And I wish you well.

So I'm excited to see that as well This is gonna be a full Mardi Gras celebration the past two years It's been limited experiences because of the shutdown and everything that's going on But this year it's all coming back. I can't wait to see the parade That is one of my favorite things just catching the beads and also you get the opportunity to actually be on the parade floats Tossing beads to people and I like doing both of them. It's so much fun And when the music comes on feet don't fail me now feet don't fail me now It just gets me so excited The party really starts once it gets dark out So we're gonna actually go around try some of the food and then the parade is at 745 And also the concert sugar ray I think starts at 830. So there's gonna be a lot of things to cover today And I am so excited The Mardi Gras festival goes on from February 5th to April 24th, and there are so many new food items So I think we're gonna dive into some of the food boots first. I Do have to say the Mardi Gras live concert series is absolutely amazing sugar ray tonight Diana Ross bear naked ladies sticks LL Cool J marshmallow Khalid seal Gavin DeGrasse Jimmy Allen and Jason Derulo Jason Derulo. I Love how everybody gets so festive for Mardi Gras I figured I wouldn't bring my beads with me because by the end of the night I plan on having dozens of beads around my neck for when the parade happens and Also it being the first day it looks like the lines are gonna be a little bit long to get some of the food items But we're in it. We're in it to win it today No matter what every time I come to Mardi Gras anywhere not just universal. I got to try the gumbo I got to try the jambalaya. I got to get the beignets There's certain things that I always have to try and also gonna try some new things Hopefully things I've never had before that always gets me excited First things first. I think we have to get the chicken and duly sausage jambalaya You know I do love the jambalaya mixed rice with and duly sausage chicken shrimp peppers tomatoes finish with a spiced crawfish For only six dollars and forty nine cents This year instead of doing a punch lanyard They're actually doing a special food and beverage card and for annual pass holders. This is so amazing So this card is seventy five dollars with my annual pass. I saved ten dollars So I paid sixty five dollars for this I get seventy five dollars worth the food and then every other Individual item I buy with this. I also get my annual pass discount, which I think is so crazy That is so so good and here is the jambalaya.  This is gonna be good That is some good good jambalaya Let's just mr. Crawl on the side here. There we go. Oh, he fell over But yeah, and you get a good amount so I I think I had four shrimp in there Four shrimp and lots of meat. It's actually a really good portion. I Feel like at other festivals you probably pay like seven eight dollars for this like, you know I mean and here we get it for five five dollars.  So here we go I ran into my friends promise and Travis and they got the category five punch and those fancy little glasses I like those. How much are the glasses? So it's 13 dollars for the souvenir cup And you get a little light up party cup. I think I'm gonna go get one of those right now actually Yep, I'm going to get one right now The jambalaya Amazing now the crawfish Definitely a required taste and honestly, I like it. I like it now that I did it the proper way If you guys want to see the way I ate it last time I think I just like took the crawfish and just bit like I just bit it in half actually And that was not the right way that happened last year. So Definitely tastes better than the last time I had it Now I've got my official marigold cup for 2022 and it lights up and it's actually really pretty And I got the goon bay smash as my starter drink and this looks really really good I usually get the category five But I wanted to mix it up a little bit and now that I have this cup I can go back and I get refills for only 12 dollars and this is the bigger cup So that actually is really beneficial if you got the 12 ounce one you can get refills for eight dollars So if you plan on getting more than one drink Then this is the way to go and you can also get beer with it as well Because I do plan on trying some swamp head wild night beer later I much prefer like a beer instead of like a super sweet drink I do like like old fashions and stuff like that, but this is a pretty mixed one So I'm going to give it a go only for the experience of mardi gras, but I think I might like this one It's good. It's not too sweet. It's not too sweet at all. Very good juices in there. I like it This is good dark rum Then my friend promised grabbed me a carnitas a rapa here And I'm excited because I do love the arapas here and uh, look at that They took them away for a little bit. They were over by uh, where amity is but now they're back now. They're back Time to go all in here. Look at this. Doesn't it look so so good though? I am I love these actually there. They are really really amazing.  I love all the food now We do have to get some gumbo and some beignets and a couple of other amazing items, but this is all this is a good start This is a good start Later on we're going to have to get some beignets. You remember our beignets technique to like hold it out like this Oh, yeah, I remember very very I feel like it's almost the same thing for the arapas The beignets and the rapids get eaten the same way all the mardi gras food is so messy It just got a bend over You shove it in your hole. Yep Now since we had some jambalaya we had an arapa and we have our drink still I think it's time for Some beignets some beignets king cake and also maybe a mardi gras marshmallow pie. Doesn't this all sound amazing? It's very apparent that the beignets stand probably has the longest line so far I mean, there's a lot of good offerings here and you can get the same drinks that you can get here Or at the mardi gras bar you can get them actually at this stand as well But uh kind of like going over to that side because it's a little bit nicer Here are the beignets and you can also buy a whole mardi gras cake, but the cake is like 12.99 but look at it in there I mean that is huge. I also got one of these cool mardi gras marshmallow pies because that looks fancy as well Thank you Oh boy lots of food Look at that so you actually get quite a few beignets in there and the cake looks really cool Look at all the mardi gras sprinkles on it and I'm excited. I'm excited to dive into it First things first. We're going to dive into the beignets But I'm going to break into it and I kind of got a good angle So I don't get powdered sugar all over myself and look at it. It's really really like Airy inside of it. I think beignets are supposed to be airy, but you can see there's actually a big pocket of air It's already broken in but I'm going to break through it first here Look at that. All right, now we're going to assume the position like this These are actually really really good and I didn't get any powdered sugar on me. I feel really really special Like you know, I couldn't find like a mardi gras shirt to wear So I just wore this nice floral patterned Roosevelt and I like it if it's pretty well Now we're going to try the mardi gras marshmallow pie and this looks so good I don't want to lose all my sprinkles, but we're going to just crack right in half here I don't know if it's going to work or not. I don't know Oh, wow Look at that That was impressive I am excited. Can you see the cake in there? This is going to be good. Okay. We're diving right in here Wow, this is so so good. I really really like it a lot Oh, and it was really fun to actually break open to it actually made like a pop sound Now, I don't know if it came out on camera, but I heard like a little like air pop But wow so so good. I might like this a little bit better than the beignets I don't know though. I've got one beignet left over there Maybe I should try that first and we don't have any sauce for it though Like you guys normally eat your beignets with sauce either like caramel chocolate or strawberry There's no dipping sauces for these ones, but this is good Oh You make a beignet moon pie combo a beignet a mardi gras beignet moon pie. Yes. I like the idea of this I think promise knows me too well here. This is it. This is the combo I feel like these beignets are a little bit more like how they would actually be served during mardi gras But I do like uh, disney's port Orleans french quarter beignets a little bit better I do like the mickey beignets even though they're not traditionally the way they're supposed to be But uh, they're just one deep maybe because they're mickeys Oh looks like we've got a marching band coming down I ran into some of my friends the darlings here and they are so well dressed and they actually do monthly events Where they go around and get dressed up around the theme parks and of course now it's mardi gras So we're all going to do a group photo. It's going to be really awesome. I feel under dressed though Oh Well that was so awesome aren't they all dressed up so beautiful. They're the d23 darlings and I love it They really do go all out for all the different events that happen in the theme parks And it's fun that we get to take photos and meet up Now I think it's time for some shrimp gumbo with rice 599 for this and I love gumbo. This is like a must have whenever I come to a mardi gras festival And it's 599 and plus we get our discount. So this is a really cool deal I would like to try the blackened chicken po boy.  So we're going to dive right on in Seriously, that is some good good gumbo right there A lot of people always tell me gumbo should be a little bit darker than that though I mean, I don't know. I really only had like true true Like uh gumbo or jambalaya once and that's when a friend sent it to me And it was so so good, but it did not look anything like this and uh, I'm excited to try it I like the little tiny baby shrimp. All right, here we go.  Hold me like this when it's cold like I like holding it like This is good though. Oh, yeah, this might be my favorite thing This literally might be my favorite thing I've had so far There's a little bit of spice in there, but not much at all. This is definitely my favorite thing. No so so good Hi, can I have some beads? Oh fancy. Oh, thank you. Oh, look at that my first bead of the night They're just walking around roaming around giving beads. I feel so special So we've been sharing a lot of the items tonight only because like most of the stuff is actually big portions But I devoured this gumbo. I ate it all. We all got like separate bowls This is so so good. It didn't even stand a chance. It didn't even stand a chance much too good Now I think we had our gumbo fix. It's time to move along and we're gonna check out the tribute store I haven't been able to actually see the inside of that yet And then we're gonna try to just relax and hang out until it gets dark out and the party starts Like this is a fun atmosphere I think I've had enough food, but if something else pops up that we all want to try I think maybe we'll try something else. I could go for another drink. I still only have had the Gumbay smash and that's the only one now. It's still full of powdered sugar But I'd love to get a beer and actually use this For my special refill price even though I can bring it back with me anytime I come But I never do that. I always forget it. I always forget the cups at home Right here is a tribute store. We're gonna head on in they do have some things in there that we can Actually try if we want to get some sweets or some snacks, but I'm just excited to see what it looks like this year The tribute store float factory Feet don't fail me now feet don't fail me now feet don't fail me now I actually have my Mardi Gras mask from last year that I actually brought with me and I kind of like how this is really set up in here It's like a factory for the floats and you can see all different things all over the place. It's really really nifty I love what they do with the tribute stores. I really think it's something unique and something that Disney really can't even touch Seriously, isn't this so cool. It's like a whole warehouse full of float works I love it The whole hallway is a look back in time at Universal Studios Mardi Gras And they just have tons of photos of the different Mardi Gras like floats and happenings throughout the years And take a look over on this side. This is really really cool. Like tonight's gonna be so much fun I'm so excited that it's back. And what do you think about floats on I4? I feel like that could be very dangerous Now we're gonna head on into the showroom and holy moly look at this It's so pretty in here I love it Wow One of the things I feel like it's important to tell you guys the Food inside the Mardi Gras tribute store is all considered merchandise So if you buy this food of average card, it does not count to these items So if you do come in here and you buy this you can't get any of the snacks even though the the snacks look fantastic But I probably won't get any because like I said, I really paid for this They have a nice little display right here. They have a Mardi Gras apple down here Look at that and then a tripe cake And uh some Mardi Gras shots and cupcakes dipped bacon So many cool things even a shaker shake a shaker shake a shaker cake for a hurricane $18 for that It's really really expensive But I just love seeing the big gigantic gator float in here. It's like a gator in space They were really really cool I always love checking out the tribute store. It's always amazing in there and they do a great job paying attention to detail in there But now I think we're gonna keep moving along and it's starting to get really really chilly out As soon as we came out of the tribute store, it looks like we see some space Some space Mardi Gras happening right here. Look at this. This is really really cool I love how they have so many different performers Just roaming around during the day until it gets really festive at night Which it will definitely get a lot more festive once nighttime comes But it's nice that they do have some daytime activities like the marching band. We saw earlier In fact now take a look at this. Holy moly the party is starting Look at this My friend Maria with LBB TV actually got the hurricane shaker cake From the tribute store and we're gonna share it because it is a big you said 15 pounds, huh easily like onike handed it to me I was concerned that they gave me concrete and cake. Wow. Yes. It's very heavy Um, and it's not the plastic that's heavy. No, it's the cake. Look at it. It's gigantic. See if it's good But it's definitely a shaker you can actually use so Oh, we should put that to use one day Oh, that's how you do it I can use it as an actual shaker not that I've ever made a martini, but I will start there you go.  I'm feeling so tasty Evie how it feels it looks it. All right. Does everybody have a spoon? No, I got a fork I actually think passion fruit passion fruit is very light So I think it's gonna be a little like a hurricane. Yes, like a category five. Yeah, an actual hurricane from New Orleans Those are strong It's gonna be strong. Yeah. All right, everybody go ahead. Okay. It's not as dense No, you don't like it. All right, here we go. I came in like a hurricane It's like it's really intense flavor Okay, it kind of reminds me of cough medicine. Yep. Oh no, and it's enough for three people With the king cake go with the beignet.  It's so so good. You're like hype it up The cake is good. It's the icing. It's the icing Yeah, the icing tastes like I actually bit into like a lemon The cake's good. Yeah, like a passion fruit icing. Like I bit into a lemon that is also mixed with bubble yum or something Yeah, it's very strange. Not not my I'm not a fan Yeah It was a hard pass on that cake. It's just something about the icing. It's just Not my favorite. Not my favorite at all, but it's okay. There's still a lot of cool things and it's starting to get darker out So I think we're gonna kind of hang out in this area and wait for a good spot for the parade Now I think I'm gonna stop at the Cajun twisted frank stand Well the twisted tater stand and they have a new twist on taters, which is kind of like a twisted tater drink Look at this old forester bourbon and then they have l'orange liqueur brown sugar sweet potato syrup Mexican chocolate bitters and lemon juice and uh goes in the refillable mug. So why not? He said they're whipping up the taters back there. I like how they just throw the taters right in the fryer Look at that. He's just tossing them right in there and look at all these delicious things here And I'm a floss in our seats. Did you see those cat-like reflexes? Ha Garlic parm look at that. Oh boy.  Ah very nice Thank you I had to try the twisted Cajun frank here and they have one with uh Spicy chorizo queso, but I got it just on its own because I hear that the uh queso was actually really spicy So we're gonna try we're gonna we're gonna dive in but look at this bad boy So good. It's nathan's hot dogs on there, too This is really really good. I like the Cajun seasoning on there They also had ghost pepper garlic parm, but you know how to go Cajun Cajun all the way, right? My friends ended up getting the uh same thing I got but they got the uh chorizo queso on there and look at it It looks really good, but I hear it's really really spicy So you guys are gonna have to let me know until then I'm just gonna stick with this bad boy Did you get any other seasonings on there? What did you just get the Cajun? Oh, and that's just Cajun Oh, this is the way. Look at this right here. It's kind of like the bone marrow like All over again. It makes that taste better. Yeah, definitely taste better Now we're gonna try the new twist on taters and this I actually think is gonna be really really good I want to point out that I found out that these cups are only served like sold on concert nights And if you do get a refill of one of the drinks like here They give you an eight ounce cup and they have to pour it inside there We still get the price discount and uh, here we go Oh, that's a little strong that's a little strong. It's got a little kick through it It is getting so busy here at night though Look at this the crowds are almost at a point where you can't walk And the parade's not for like another hour and I would say almost all the stands probably have a good 30 40 minute wait Like these lines are very very long. So if you plan on eating and trying the food I definitely suggest coming early as possible Now we've made our way over to the Bloody Mary stand and I'm not too much of a Bloody Mary drinker But I have some friends who do enjoy Bloody Mary. Is that a chicken wing?  The Bloody Mary and the best part is that the straw is a slim gym See like doesn't wow hole in it so you can drink out of it. Holy moly I'm gonna try it so that yeah, they got me one to try so I guess we're gonna do this. We're gonna do this So my friend jojo and chris they've got theirs and this is the wild Version and it's the Louisiana hot sauce with sriracha hot chili sauce in there, but we're doing it Cheers Personally I like Sensitive the spicy stuff. It's not that spicy. That's great. Exactly bite my straw. Yeah, I could bite my straw I was really expecting this to actually be a little bit spicy, but now I have two cups Got two collectible cups. I don't know if this fits directly in there But I'm afraid to drop it in to see what happens, but I think we're gonna do it anyway Look. Oh, wow. That was actually really smooth. But look at that it fits right in there Now it is time the parade is almost here and because the concert is like immediately after the parade We wanted to find a spot where we can like go right to the concert as soon as the parade's over Without getting stuck in like a big crowd of people and I think we did pretty good So we're actually right outside of the monsters cafe Well, technically next to where donkey would be and we have like a good spot And everyone's all like already like lined up. They're ready for the parade to be back And then as soon as we're done, we can just hop right back here.  We got the purple haze Yep, the drink of mardi gras waiting for the parade. Oh, and then there's a band coming right now.  I think this french quarter one is my favorite float so far I hope I we're gonna come back and we're gonna actually be doing this So i'm gonna be throwing the beads on this so look forward to a video about that soon But I want to be on this one right here. That'd be so awesome Somebody managed to nail one in my pocket I'll just look at this. Look at that talented On everyone is heading on in so we can watch some sugar array. Look at this Exactly why we wanted to come watch it from over here lbv tv Or me I don't know Now we're trying to get into the concert area This is really really tight here trying to take my beads off.  I'm I'm only a couple. I think that's all of them right there. Look at that. I like all the pretty colors Isn't it so pretty We're trying to untangle the beads here It's looking good as there's only one or two that's stuck in there got them untangled we can put them back on Here's the stage and we're ready for sugar ray a little mark mcgrath every morning They're coming out. This is mr Talking about 1995 and him having a number one song in 1999 and the first time he ever played in orlando was with a band called corn It was really cool to see that and now we got to make our way out But in true universal studios mardi gras fashion. There's one more thing we needed to do We have to give our beads to the tree. So here we go Oh, there's one it landed. I'm gonna take this one off. I don't want to give all my beads away There we go. Oh that one stayed too. I'm gonna try to rope it out right here Oh, this isn't it's so funny. What a tradition here for universal studios And with that, I think we are done here. What a fun mardi gras I am so excited. There are so many more nights. I plan on coming out I'm so excited to be able to come out and be able to throw the beads myself Because I do have a reservation to actually do that and also diana ross Jason derulo marshmallow. There were so many other great concert series actually happening and I love eating the food So, I hope you enjoyed the video. I enjoyed making it. We'll see you next time. Bye


what is going on guys welcome back to the channel and I appreciate you being here today I'm back with another Destiny 2 video and today I want to talk a little bit about the hunter solstice of heroes legendary gear set and help my fellow hunters out there because I'm seeing so many people complain about it that's fashion issues they are having with the hunter solstice actual armor and I'm also gonna show you guys a quick little thing you can do a little method you can do to get easy glimmer which I'll showcase to you guys at the end of the video but yes if you're at the stage now in the sources of heroes event where your hunter looks like this beautiful looking helmet great looking gauntlets legs looking great cloak looking semi decent but the chest piece I mean what is this why is that rope and a blanket tied around his chest piece which it just doesn't match any other part of the gear in what we're bungee thinking if you look at the warlocks or the titans it all suits it all looks great oh no when it comes to us hunters seems like they're left us out no no what was obviously we were designed last there's no two which ways about it but people I have a method for you which actually resolves this issue you are having there's ways around it people now the first thing you can do is you can apply this shader here which is if you've got it I think it's could be like talents right yeah now this makes it all just match perfect oh look at that it looks great because of the gold the blankets gold black rope it matches everything else besides the blue in the back but yeah everything else matches absolutely beautiful or you can do this you can do this you need this shader right here the Kyra's bronze I believe that said and you want to apply that to the cloak if you apply that to the cloak which we will do right here wasting my glamour you can see it's blue so if you look at it now going to a bit of light you can see the cloak now matches the standard colour of the actual chest piece so it looks decent it looks semi-decent it really does or people what you could do is and this is probably what many will be doing is and change the chest piece to the blue because obviously if you got this you can go into it and you can change it to make it look like a blue very kindled set so you just apply that you can see it's that color right there and then what you want to do is you want to apply this shader right here the precursor of extra and if we apply that and back out you'll see that actually it's going to be a light tell so damn dark trying to do a video it's so damn dark it's got here let's go up here there we go we can see no face that way there we go we can see you all kind of matches I mean obviously you want to you don't want the cloak that color you want the cloak is standard color because obviously not a clock stands out I mean it's just weird but yeah that's probably the best you're gonna get that is probably the best you are going to get I mean it isn't perfect if I were you I'd probably go to the midnight talons with the full legendary set full legendary set up or with a blue cloak with a standard chess piece but it does look better than what it does a standard in my opinion with a blue rekindled chess piece as you can see policy better there mate it does suit now obviously you don't want their cloak you want a clock like I said is standard but yeah that's that is the best you're gonna get people my fellow hunters the best you're gonna get so what I'm gonna do is I'm gonna set it up to where I want it no way I probably will rock I mean you can see it there I don't know why I didn't do my menu you see it right there it looks pretty cool obviously you want the cloak being standard color like I said and you don't want that I'm gonna keep mine on you went like that so yes that's probably the best you're gonna get people it really is which is unfortunate it really is people it really is so let's just apply this take the blue off that we don't want that I'm gonna put the blue back on so it matches my cloak and there we go now I'm gonna show you guys a little tip and how you can get easy glimmer now what you need to do is you obviously need to have it when obviously at this mongo obviously you need to have hit that glory rank why not glory Valorant sorry you need to reset twice if you reset twice what you can do is pick up this gold shell for measly 10 crucible tokens and 20 legendary shards which you probably will have stacked and if you do this you can actually dismantle this and get 5,000 glimmer so if I'm gonna buy another one there we go then go into your thingy and dismantle I got two but that's my one I'm gonna keep dismantling this you get 5,000 glimmer for it people it really is as simple as that and five legendary tokens back so if you've got tokens stacked you've got legendary shards stacked and you need glimmer this is a simple method in getting easy glimmer it really is it really is people so yeah if you need glimmer you know what to do you know what to do yeah guys that is it we have come to the end of the video I hope it helps you out I hope you get my fellow hundreds out there looking the best they can in the sources of heroes event also guys needing glimmer hope that helps you out too but on that note guys I am out thanks as always for stopping by and hopefully I will see you on that next one


Next up we have Jessica Finnegan speaking on technology in the developing world. Jessica is completing an advanced diploma in religious studies at the University of Cambridge, along with a certificate in international development. Her area of study includes how religion interacts with society, specifically how religion can adapt and provide meaningful frameworks for human progress and adaptation. Technology will change the world, but more importantly, how it will change the developing world seems to be missing in public discourse. There's a bizarre disregard for technology in international development. It's very interesting. My professors seem to blatantly disregard any technological ideas quite off the bat, with statements similar to, oh well, they think this technology will improve this part of international development, but we know better, which is always interesting. I think I'm the only one in class thinking, well, I think that actually might be valid, but I think part of the reason they have this opinion is they've seen so many technological projects that have failed and they're just jaded in their opinion of technology rather than looking at the fact that it was actually the implementation of the project that was the problem. This is the problem of suffering in the smaller picture that is one of the slums in Kenya. And behind it is actually a picture of the slum in Nigeria. The problem of suffering is essential to understand work in international development. I worked for an international database collecting data on women's issues across the world. Some of the suffering is soul-crushing and at times even hard to comprehend. There's a quote that I liked when I was studying, what breaks God's heart eventually breaks our heart. Solutions are not simple, culture is never straightforward. Sometimes in international development, most of the projects that fail are the ones who try to simplify culture instead of living in the complexity and in the tension. As explained in the book Abundance Technology has historically ended large amounts of human suffering, yet we're not discussing how it can be implemented in the developing world. This is what I call the great divide. When we live in a world that looks like this, I know my kids go to a school that has multiple computer labs that look similar to this, although they're PCs and not Macs, but you can't have it perfectly. Especially in a group like this where we have a lot of early adopters of technology, especially compared to even the developed world, it's hard to comprehend what the developing world needs. But the divide is growing larger between the technology in the developed world opposed to the developing world. I won't go into that, it's a complete, it's shifting, but it's a lot of data and that would take a whole another 12 minutes. In communities that struggle to even produce enough of a sustainable food security, the implementation of technology isn't very complicated and fraught with stumbling blocks. There's a lack of materials. There is often the inability to maintain and repair technology that has been brought in from outside sources. There's a saying that there's three things in the developing world, cars, cigarettes and Coke, and now cell phones, I guess four. That's nice that they're all Cs. The major issue that I've seen in implementing technology in the developing world is the word actually implementation in the dialogue. Too often the discourse is from a Western consumption perspective instead of helping the people to create their own technology. That inherently within each human being there is the desire to create and consuming constantly cuts your ability to even sustain and to be creative. One of the most compelling criticisms I've heard that's backed up by quite a bit of survey and of conservative Christian groups and people who are not formally part of a religion is that they feel that religion is not fulfilling what Christ compelled them to do, especially in international development. I think this is one portion where Mormonism is quite well positioned. If I had my way, I would have implemented in some fashion in the developed world the young men and young women's programs to teach programming and computer skills so that when those youth went out to missions that they would be trained enough to teach the kids in those areas how to program or even the adults. There are downsides to technology in the developing world. This is actually a new story that came out a few months ago. In Saudi Arabia, women aren't allowed to move freely without consent of their male guardian. Since mobile phones have been widely distributed, as they cross into different border checks, their male guardian is sent a text saying where they are. If you are trying to flee an abusive relationship or there is just no freedom. One of the other issues is that technology, especially in the Arab Spring or in other revolutions, has been quite profound. But the question is, was it the technology or is it that the repressive regime didn't understand it enough to control it, which should be my estimation? So I think that in order to avoid a lot of the downsides of technology in the developing world, it has to sustain as many hands as possible. These next three projects I wanted to explain, these are projects I think that do a very, a better job at helping create instead of consume. This is the Hole in the Wall project. It started out with just a computer in a wall, literally, outside of an office building. But this one is extraordinary in that it doesn't even teach, it just provides the computer into rural areas or impoverished areas and the children are actually teaching themselves how to use computers and then teaching each other how to use them. This is a micro drip project. This picture is from Pakistan where water scarcity is a huge issue, especially with dams being built between Pakistan and India. This is a technology that local people implemented from Israel and made it more cost effective, allowing small farmers to conserve water and to actually grow crops. So the year before, this was completely barren desert. So they're actually improving the lives of their own families substantially. This is a BioLite stove. I keep trying to convince my husband that we need one for camping, or for emergency preparedness. This one is interesting. It's not quite as creative, I would say, on a local level, but this solves a lot of problems. At least the project itself is trying to solve local problems.  So this is a cleaner burning stove and this is also ingenious that it charges electronics. So traditionally women have been assigned to cooking and I don't see that changing in the developing world because it really hasn't changed in the developed world, but this gives women a fair amount of power and a patriarchal structure where they would have absolute no power since they potentially control the recharging of mobile phones or other electronic devices. I'm getting involved. So one thing that I wanted to say is that as people with technical skills, you are needed in international development. Even if the projects don't initially think they need you, they do. Even just for basic, initially basic website development or training or helping set up fairly low-level technical skills. I just wanted to highlight some of the, these are more technical organizations that I thought you guys might be interested in. This is Engineers Without Borders. It's an international organization although it's organized locally, at least by country, I'm not sure how locally, and they strive to create engineering projects that are sustainable and they actually are quite good at even admitting their own failures which is quite revolutionary in international development. This is Frontline SMS. They create mobile-label device apps for prenatal care which is a huge problem in rural developing countries where you might not have a men-wife for 300 miles. This is Manufacturing for Change. This is actually a really cool one. So you're online but you help coordinate with other volunteers in the developing country to go over manufacturing criteria and to push ideas around so that projects in the developing world and local people's input are more successful. Freedom Phone is a two-way phone for education and information access, and I don't know how to say this last one. It's a mapping and crowdsourcing technology in order to keep technology in the hands of the multitude. King Jr. had a quote, the arc of the moral universe bends towards justice. I'd like to add that it bends towards justice because we bend it there. I believe in the introduction it was mentioned that you had been involved with women in some way. In other areas of the world, it seems like women are playing a critical role in moving underdeveloped countries to a more advanced stage with small businesses, small manufacturing operations. Can you make a few comments upon the role of women in the societies that you're familiar with? Sure. Let's see if that's a big question. I think because women have been so historically underprivileged, there's a lot of emphasis on helping women to overcome those barriers. And again and again, when women do overcome, when they are given the opportunity to be more equal in the society, not only do they themselves prosper and their families prosper, the entire GDP of the country increases exponentially. The more equality there is and the more opportunity that women are given, the potential to fulfill what they need to do. Violence goes down, education goes up. When you've been ignoring half your population for thousands of years, they're also willing to work harder because they're given those advantages that they haven't been given. Domestic violence goes down, child mortality goes down.
