The talk was a two, so recitation is going to be as polished as I'd like it to be.  It seems to be working. So my slides are online, you can just look at them. There's nothing too special about them in these pictures. So I'll begin now. My talk is basically about encouraging other developing developers to go travelling and hopefully give some tips about the places I visited and some stories and hopefully some feedback from the rest of you all. So these little things are where I've been. So about three years ago, I travelled from Finland across Russia, the middle of Russia, down through Kazakhstan, across to down to Pakistan, all around India for several months, then to Southeast Asia, then where was I? Then I went to Indonesia, then I went to Japan, then back. Then I went to Japan, then I think I went back to Asia, and then I went back to Australia, then I travelled around Australia, then I think I went to the Polynesian Islands, and then I came back to Australia and then I went to Korea. And then after Korea I went to Europe to see my parents because I haven't seen them for several years sort of thing, and then I went to South America. I've seen a bit of the world, and of course I come from South Africa, I'm born in South Africa, so I have a bit of experience. And what made the whole thing a lot easier was, because I guess I was a daily developer, I don't think I sound crazy, but anyway, I'll talk more about that. So, yeah, I started in Finland and it's a good place to start. I mean, I did some previous travelling and travelled around Eastern Europe, but I'm not going to talk about the travel, basically my travel, the really cool travel started and I took a train there to Russia. So it's a really nice place to start your travels, you can get on the train and throw yourself into the big, wild world, really. And also, gee, I recommend Finland to go travelling. I'm very grateful to Finland. The University of Helsinki gave me an education. Well, the next thing after Finland, after taking the train into St. Petersburg... Check out! Bye! So, anyone, any thoughts about going to Russia? No? Come on, you're in Russia. Anyway, I went into Russia and it's a really amazing place and it's pretty big and I recommend going there. And it's really, it's pretty safe. You can do it a couple of different ways. You can stay on the train and that's the way it's like really no risk. Or you can get off the train like I did every so often. And I did a language course there.  I think it's worth slaying around with it. It's really good. And I enrolled in St. Petersburg State University, learned Russian. So, yeah, this is where it gets crazy in Russia. And the only problem now is that it's getting expensive because, you know, the oil prices are going ballistic and St. Petersburg was a lot cheaper a few years ago than it is now. And, yeah, the visas is something, yeah, Russia is a start when visas get a bit painful because I love the place but I always have to like leave it all the time every month or something because of the freaking visas. And I would have loved to stay studying there but, again, it was because of the visas that I had to move on, basically. And then, oh, yeah, Kazakhstan. This picture here was taken in Kazakhstan, actually.  But it's pretty cool. And there, I actually, with my debuts, got a job and I was working for a media company. So, you know, sometimes if you just go out to these far-fung places you can find people and get a job and this is where it really started. And any questions about Kazakhstan? Do you matter, Borat? No, I'm afraid not. Kazakhstan is not quite like Borat country. It's very rich. There's the Caspian Sea, they've got oil, they've got gas.  It's pretty good. And you leave quite an interesting life, trust me.  Then I ended up, you know, in Kazakhstan I was drinking a lot. You know, I was womanizing a lot. I was having a great time, actually. But then all of a sudden I was in an Islamic country, Pakistan. I was in Ramadan. I was fasting. I wasn't drinking and I wasn't looking at women. So it was pretty tough. It was pretty tough, actually. I also got food poisoning on my first week there. So it was really, really hard. But they gave me some drugs and okay, it was okay. So in Pakistan I travelled all around there with the help of people that I've met at university, not quite deviant. But as again, you know, you use your network. I know someone out there, so you really should go to Pakistan. It is freaking amazing out there. It is, wow. And the Islamic, it's the first case of the Islamic sort of country I've had. I don't know what you guys, but I didn't have a clue about Muslims and the culture. I was damn interested with 9-11 affecting us all as it has. But if you go to Pakistan you really start to really get hardcore educated basically about the different sides of the world. Yeah, I did actually work in Pakistan. I was helping a friend of mine arrange a deal with a fiber optic cable.  I'm not going to get into it, but you know, people look at you far on it and they usually think like, this guy's smart, this guy's got a degree. And they usually just bring you in to do something and it usually can work out pretty well for you. So, hey guys, you're really in a good spot. Don't forget that. So, after Pakistan I was into India, India's massive place. I spent like six months there. I have a ton of stories about it. But of course, when I was thinking about India, I was thinking Bangalore, you know, the new IT, you know, Silicon Valley of the East. Of course, when I got to Bangalore and I was thinking, oh my God, I'm going to have a fantastic time with the geeks here. It wasn't quite what I expected. I don't want to be too dismissive and too general about it, but the way that Bangalore works isn't quite like Silicon Valley. And I wrote a blog about it so you can just read it really. But the jobs they do out there aren't very innovative and things like that. So don't quite expect yourself to have a lot of fun out there. It's not that good. Bangalore was actually like a new city. It was built in the 60s or the 50s. So it doesn't have a lot of culture. So I mean, the big thing about going to Tripoli is to see other culture and things like that and Bangalore was just like a bit of a mess. But you know, I had a good friend out there who worked for a company for a year. He did feel a bit crazy afterward, but I think it was a cool experience. So after India, I went to Southeast Asia. And to be honest, I don't think I worked in Southeast Asia. I'm not too sure. No, actually, I didn't work. But Southeast Asia is a pretty strange place. It's quite hot. And the internet isn't too good except in the big cities. And I don't know what I can say about it. It's more about holiday in there, I would say. More than working and things like that. It's pranks to see there. But from a deviant perspective, there isn't that much cool stuff happening. I expect a lot of components get made in Thailand, but you can't really get cool components out of the markets there. It's not like Japan. But Southeast Asia is a good place to find English teaching work.  Even you Marco. If you do want IT work, you'll probably end up in Bangkok. I used to hate it, but now I actually kind of like it. It's a really good place. It's like the London of the East in some ways because it's really cheap to travel from Bangkok to different places. That's how I like to think of it. I always ended up going to Bangkok about 11 times because it's just the best place to get your flights. It's just in the middle. You can just go to Australia cheaply. You can go to Vietnam cheaply. You can go to Japan cheaply. You can go back to Indonesia cheaply. So it's really a good place to actually base your operations from. And if you need tips to where to stay and things like that, I'd be happy to provide them. So I ended up in Japan. Whoa-ho-ho. Whoa-ho-ho-ho. Because I've been travelling around the East. I've been travelling around Asia. And a lot of people are poor. A lot of people are a bit backward. A lot of people are just like, what are these people like? They're just so...  And then when you go to Japan, everything's so modern and clean and everyone's so dressed so smartly. It was quite like a shock to me. And Japan is like... I mean, I thought it was like going to be maybe like, I don't know, Europe or something. Or maybe like Italy or something. You know? Not that advanced. But it's pretty damn advanced. Sorry. And the Japanese people are really hospitable. And I wasn't... I'm not even a Debian member, but I said I just work at Debian. Oh my God! A Debian person here in Japan. And they checked me out for dinner for like, three or four times. And they gave me a laptop. Like I came there and said I didn't have a laptop. I said I want to take one. So I had a laptop. I had food. And I'm not talking just like, you know, taking it out from McDonald's or something. I'm talking like, the best freaking food you can get. Like really expensive stuff. I was too scared to look at the bill or the thing. And actually, the free software people in Japan have this like office there. And you can go in there anytime you want. Or then I'll be able to go there anytime you can go and hack. So it was like really like a dream come true. I had like a laptop. I had this like cool place to go. And the view from there was just freaking amazing. And I really enjoyed it. And the accommodation is expensive but my sister was teaching English there. So I was basically standing at my sister's going there, looking around Tokyo. And in Tokyo, it's just like geek paradise.  It's just incredible. It's absolutely incredible. So if all these places are going to show you, if there's one place you just have to go to, it's Japan. You'll love it. You'll absolutely love it. And everyone's a bit geeky out there to be honest. So yeah, I went to Japan. Yeah, I've been trying to get work in Japan. And there is work. I have a few friends that do work out there. Mainly for graphic design. I think I mentioned that. But I was supposed to do... I am contacted like this sort of recruitment firm. And there were jobs for me, but nothing I really liked. And basically in the end I thought to myself, Japan's too expensive. And anyway, I decided to go to Australia. Long story. So in Australia, I basically arrived with like zero dollars. Zero dollars. In Melbourne. Absolutely nothing. I was like going, you know, this is pretty bad. I can't quite even afford to get a bus into the city. This is pretty bad. But I did have teens with me. I managed to call my sister again. And say to her, do you know anyone that lives in Melbourne? She just said, I know someone who knows someone who knows someone. Anyway, I stayed with her. Who knows someone who knows someone. For the first couple of days. And I was lucky enough to get a job in like my second or third day. I got that through a recruitment company. And they pretty much deranged everything. And I was what? Deployment manager. There's a bit of a story to that. Basically a deployment manager or release manager for a lot of companies in a contracting world means that oh, our project is running late. It's over budget.  We need someone to deliver it. So it's not the greatest job to have. So when I arrived in Australia, I was super stressed because I didn't have any money. Super stressed because the product that I was supposed to deploy was not very good to put it mildly. And it was for an airline. So it had to work. It was definitely an education. And I was so stressed. I tried to join a gym just to keep in shape and stuff. And the gym actually wouldn't allow me to join because my heart rate was too high. I had to go and get a doctor's certificate. So it's pretty mad. But anyway, a lot of people did help me and it's definitely developed out there. Russell Coco who I would like to thank a lot. He's a really smart guy. He's really helpful. And he's also a great Linux users of Victoria. They're a great bunch of guys. They meet every week or two weeks. And really nice. So in Australia, it was pretty desperate, but there's some nice people out there. And since just so far away from everything, I think at least they helped me. But the big problem with Australia was that I've been in Asia. I've been doing crazy things all the freaking time. And getting to Australia, it is a bit boring. I must say. But I give it a chance. Australia is a really nice place. And I think it's like the best sort of place that I would like to move to perhaps in the future. But it is a bit boring. I'm warning you. Asia is really fun. So, well, there's a long story why I left Australia. But I'll try to briefly give it. Visas are your big problem when you're travelling. And basically I got suckered when I was working in Australia. Because being an immigrant or a foreign worker, you have a few problems, right? Getting a sponsored visa, for example. Not easy, but I got one. But what happens when you get a sponsored visa? You're not allowed to work for another company. The company who sponsored you basically has you for two years. You can't move around.  And two years. I've done a lot of contracts in my life. Two years in a contract. And no raises, no future. You don't know where you're going. It's not a great situation. So I got a bit fed up. Because I did deliver the product. And basically I had disagreements with my boss. And I left the firm. And since I didn't have a sponsored visa, Australia is pretty strict. You have to leave the country in a few days. You don't have a visa. You don't have a right to be there. So I learned pretty hard there. It was a pretty tough lesson I learned. And I had to leave. I had a job offer, sort of something going on with Silicon Graphics. But I had to work out. So I had to leave. It's pretty bad. Because I had an apartment. I had a girlfriend.  So you've really got to pay attention to sponsored visa and you've got to watch out. So in the future, maybe if you really... Anyway, that's the risky one. So, what the hell do I do now? I went on to those French Polynesian islands. From a geek perspective I wouldn't recommend. There's no internet out there. It's freaking terrible. If you like beaches, yeah. Beaches are really great. But there's only so long you can stay on the beach. And the French Polynesian islands are just really literally thousands of miles away from civilization. I'm sorry. It's been maddening. So my sister, who was basically teaching in English in Japan, basically moved to Korea. So she said, why don't you come and teach English in Korea? I did that. So I went to Korea, a bit of a broken man, a bit upset, leaving my girlfriend, leaving my life in Australia and all that stuff. And then I'm in Korea. And Korea isn't quite the same as Japan. It's a bit rough and tumble there. But I taught these kids for a month. And I always said to my sister, teaching English is so easy. Kids, they're no problem. And I had a four-hour shift every day. I thought, four hours with kids is going to be great fun. Those... I'll tell you. Even though I had internet connection, fabulous internet connection at my sister's place, I got home after these kids applied. I was just sleeping. They were just destroying me. I had to play with them in the playroom and stuff. Jesus Christ. Anyway, it's fun. It is fun. It's an education. And that's one thing I really recommend you guys try. I'm not saying I do IT jobs in these foreign countries. These are the other options. You can work in a hospital. You can teach kids. And teaching kids was really rewarding. Really rewarding. And I've wanted a few posts about it. So if you're interested in that, you can have a look at my posts. So I did teach kids for a month. But the great thing there was, is that I was looking around what you've got to do. I was in a country and I was looking around for local English groups, see who's in the Linux game, and see what's going on. And basically, I got in touch with my boss, Thomas Park, or my good friend too. And I joined a startup and I spent nine months working for the startup. And it went really, really well. And we got... And I was working on a project like Honolux, which is like an Ubuntu derivative. And yeah, we did really well. We got bored by a Japanese company. I ended up working in Cubicle. So it was really quite an experience. But there's a long story to this, and I'm going to go into it. I really want to hear it. So basically, we got acquired and I wasn't very happy, so I decided to get back on the road. And that took me to... Well, yeah, that took me to China. Well, yeah, China. I did some business in China, but that was kind of when I was basically in Korea. Anyway, China's cool. Japan is like really advanced. Korea is in the middle of China. And China's just like... I wouldn't say that it's super advanced, but they're super up and coming. And they're building... Beijing is like... It's just crazy. And the cool thing about China is that it's super cheap. You can go there with no money at all and you will survive. And there's really like a pumping... There's a bit of a spirit there, you know? You go to... You move into your European place and there's no boom. But China has got the oomph. You'll meet people and say, what are you doing? What are you doing? Do you need a job? Actually, I'm working for this other company right now. It's really lots of opportunities there. So I think I should really go back there, to be honest. But there are some downsides, like the pollution and things like that. It's really quite bad and the language is a bit bad. And I got kind of like tired of living in this bubble. You live in this bubble in Korea and you probably live in this bubble in Japan. You feel a little bit helpless after a while because you're not really communicating with these people. You basically come to this point where you say hey, I'm Western. I'm not going to become a Korean. I'm not going to become a Chinese. I'm not going to fully integrate into society. So I thought to myself, yeah. It's good for so long, but I decided to move on. But I have friends out there. You should check it out. It's amazing. So after the whole Asian thing, I ended up back... I ended up basically in South America. And there's quite a surprising... I mean, you've seen it out here. There's quite a surprising like, what do you call that, free software movement going on down there. So you're bound to meet some like-minded people sooner or later. And I met a whole bunch of people in Buenos Aires. And they were very very helpful and they got me they just gave me lots of tips. And I really like Argentina. In fact, I wanted to work there, but the money was just too bad. I was like earning, I don't know, I was like earning 80 grand, $80,000 a year in time for money in Asia, tax free. I'm not going to talk about my visa. But in Argentina and the economy is coming up, but it's still like pretty low to what I'm used to. And yeah, maybe I was a bit snobby because to be honest, I'd rather be there than here. It's much better. And as you can see some really like, there's hot girls out there. It's a really good place, South America. It's got a lot to offer. I need to do some work in Brazil but it didn't quite work out.  I don't want to cause great events. São Paulo isn't where you want to be. Trust me, there's nice places in the world. So please, guys if you want me to span anything, if you want to say anything to say something now. And all just email me. And yeah, what I basically did is like, yeah, I want to visit this country, let's see if there's any Debian developers there in search. And then contact them. Yeah, but there's other ways to contact Linux type people. I mean, yeah, you got to do it. And not only will you usually find someone that helps you and yeah, you can usually find work. It's traveling and it's actually just going there and spending some time there and it's totally different and working and it's totally different. And yeah, be wary of the visa and try to learn a bit of the language. Any questions? You've traveled a few places in Europe. Yeah, I've traveled all around Europe but I don't want to talk about Europe. Are you? No, but everyone knows Europe is easy. Europe is easy. You don't have to worry about going across borders. There's no fear in Europe, I think. But I've traveled all around Europe except maybe the southeast which I'm going to do. I mean, I'm this Hungarian guy I think, or Bulgarian guy, I've already made contacts so I'm going to go out there. So that's what you should do.  I've never been to a country, can I come visit? That's the kind of attitude you've got to have. So, any other questions? Yeah, sure. What are you doing now? Are you still traveling or are you working? Well, what I'm doing now is pretty depressing. I'm just living in London, playing high rent. I mean, you can earn high amounts of money but everything's so expensive in London, yeah. I'm living in London, I'm not enjoying it. I'm thinking of being to Italy or back to China Just anywhere except London. I don't know what I'm doing, really. Like in Korea I was saving so much money I wasn't hardly not spending any money at all.  In London, if you want to go for breakfast, lunch and dinner, you're mad.  You'll be either eating crack food or you'll be eating too expensive food. So yeah, I'm a bit of a life crisis here. Help me out guys. Give me some tips. So, yeah. Any other questions?  Anyone who got to China? Me, I want to go to Tokyo. Tokyo? Yeah. Excellent. Daniel? China at some point. Yeah, it's cheap. And the food is fantastic. Food is fantastic. And it's really like it's pumping. Any place you want to go? Where are you from, by the way? Croatia. Hey, I want to go to Croatia. You do that. Maybe you'll know how to get around if you know some Russian. Similar, but no. But it's nicer. No such mafia stuff. Yeah. Well, the mafia stuff can work out for you. Because in Kazakhstan I was working basically my friends were saying you're under the roof. They were going, okay. You are ours. Yeah, so there was a bit of relief after we were in Kazakhstan. But to be honest, it was really good. I liked it. I had my own driver, my own bodyguard. And my friend Misha was saying, do you know about internet cafes? I said, well, yeah, I've been to one. We need an internet cafe in Almaty. I'll try to help you with that. And then you'll be going, do you know anything about night clubs? Yeah, I've been to a night club. Yeah.  Yeah, but we don't have western night clubs. We're going, yeah, you don't have western night clubs. So you asked me to design a western night club.  You're crazy. So it's good. But Croatia, tell me about Croatia. What should I be going there, huh? Nice coastline, quiet, secure country. Internet? Well, it's all right. We're in Europe, so internet is just fine. And the rents? I don't know. I think by your standards, well. Even in the capital, which capital? Zagreb. Do you think I might be able to get work? You get a problem. Problem, problem. So you should get out there. When you go to Hungary, just cross the border. Croatia. And this. And it's across the sea from Italy. So. Two hours by car. I can come to your place for food. Also, let's look for patches. Already? Yes. That sounds really good. Oh my God. It's like the national tourist board hired us. Croatia. You should try Brazil, perhaps, but not Sao Paulo. Yeah, perhaps Bahia, or Valor, Bel Horizonte. Okay. Bel Horizonte is especially cheap in terms of rent and the wood. Internet? Internet's very good. You go and point that out to me on the map. Brazil is pretty good. It's pretty good. Rio de Janeiro is freaking amazing. So I don't mean to badmouth Brazil. It's just that the work opportunity didn't work out there. But it's pretty good there. Really good. I don't really like Rio de Janeiro either. Okay. Well, I like it. You see these things on the beach that are pretty good. Oh, but it is better. It is better. Yeah. Oh, five minutes. Jesus. I mean, a lot of you probably, I don't know how much trouble you guys have done, but when I was born and raised in South Africa, in the wildest dreams I've been in place of Moscow, never mind Kazakhstan. What am I doing here? Why didn't you tell us about South Africa? South Africa, well... It's probably boring for you. What do you want to know about South Africa? The same stuff you said about all other countries. Well, South Africa is to be honest, I'm no expert anymore because I left there when I was 17 or something like that. But South Africa isn't something I like to talk about because, you know, we've been going through some really big changes in the last 15 years. And South Africa, for at least for mine, sort of a white middle-class family was, you know, quite secure and peaceful and we were having a good business so we were like happy as as can be. But about 15 years ago, the country trains a lot. But not for the better of our particular family. So we had to move. But I hear good things about South Africa all the same. There's lots of opportunities there. We don't have oil, but we have pretty much any other natural resources. So I think the side of the thing is that the rich and poor has got a lot bigger. And yeah, there's lots of opportunities. I don't know how... I don't think you should worry too much about the visas to meet weirdo people there. French people, Italians, Russians, they're all there. And Cape Town is unfortunately really expensive because every criminal and dog has got a place there. But, and where I'm from, Durban is... I'm not going to talk about it. You gotta go out there, go to Japan. Have you all thought about going to Japan?  No. I wish I ended here now. I'm exhausted. Anyway, Croatia, I'm serious. I'm hoping not to worry about it. Can you take some of my stuff there?


Sorry guys, we're gonna do the randomizer for 250 bucks. So Let's copy and paste the names to see who's gonna win some money or have an opportunity to win some money so Aaron just got one team.

So I'll send that to you after the video and put it away this break. Appreciate you guys Jasper's case breaks.com


I don't think anyone has a problem with being wrong. I think people have a problem with someone telling you you're wrong without any proof. If you are a defender of these false teachers, these false prophets, these heretics, these wolves, if you are a defender, if you think that someone like myself or others are wrong about them, well then why don't you do what you have not been doing and that is provide biblical support for what you believe for them. Provide biblical support for a Christian having a demon. Provide biblical support for being slain in the spirit. Provide biblical support for calling things that are not as though they were. Provide biblical support for tongues being either babbling or gibberish. Provide biblical support for any of what they say. Then you can tell us we're wrong.


Alright guys what is going on it's Jacob here we're back with another diet tips type of video today's video is going to be nice and short nice and concise I hope and it's just going to give you guys an alternative to your classic thing that everyone loves in fact people eat it out of the fucking container with a spoon and that's peanut butter now depending on your brand obviously there's going to be ones with lower sugar you know lower fat higher protein etc etc but at the end of the day generally your peanut butters are going to be really really calorically dense and that is because they're made up of mostly fat each gram of fat has nine calories each gram of protein has four and each gram of carbs has four so if you've got something like peanut butter that is really high in fat obviously a serve of peanut of this particular peanut butter is one tablespoons that's 22 grams and if you think about a tablespoon you know it's not that big is it so like anything that's high in fat such as peanut butter the serving size that you're going to get for a certain amount of calories is going to be quite low and when you're on a calorically restricted diet such as I am right now if you're trying to cut down for a certain you know you try to get into a certain size of genes or you're trying to do a bodybuilding competition or you're just trying to get a little bit leaner so that you feel good about yourself you're going to want to be sticking under a certain amount of calories and if you want things like peanut butter in your diet you're not going to be able to have much at all and that really sucks with me you know when I eat something I hate having just a tiny bit like I hate having to to break things in half and only have that half you know I tend to do intermittent fasting and one of the main reasons why I do that is because it allows me to have bigger meals within the eating window so the last thing I want to do is stop at three four hundred calories when you know I'm still hungry peanut butter does not go well with that kind of thing you can't eat much of it especially when I'm trying to diet so my ultimate replacement would have to be PB2 powdered peanut butter now what this is is it's crushed peanuts which crushes out most of the fat in fact I think it's 85% of the fat is actually crushed out of these so this is actually powdered peanuts and what you go and do is you mix a serving of this which is actually two tablespoons with some water mix it up and it makes a really nice tasting peanut butter sort of paste it is still peanut butter you know it's don't be scared that it's going to taste bad because it doesn't it really tastes nice and as far as you know the macros go like I was talking about before each gram of fat has nine calories if you press 85% of the fat out of something it's going to drastically reduce the calories right so that's exactly what you get one serve which is 22 grams or one tablespoon we've got 138 calories we've got 5.2 grams of protein 11.3 grams of fat 3 grams of carbs in one serve which is one tablespoon that's a lot of fat if we come over here to a PB2 I do realise there's other brands and other makes of this particular like type of product where they press out the fat but PB2 is something I've used for the last couple of years I always trust it it's sold in Australian supermarkets which helps so when it's on special I tend to grab it now one serve of this is two tablespoons of powder mixed with one tablespoon of water which makes 19 grams so you've got 22 grams serve you've got a 19 gram serve 138 calories 73 calories 5.2 grams of protein 8 grams of protein so more protein less calories you can't go wrong with that we've got 11.3 grams of fat in this one you've got 2.4 in this so I mean that's if you if it tastes like real peanut butter and you've got like less than a quarter of the fat of normal peanut butter that's an absolute winner for me and as far as carbs go you've got three grams of carbs in here and you've got 4.8 grams of carbs in here so higher in protein way lower in fat and around about the same amount of carbs and you've also got 3.2 grams of fiber in one serve of these so whether it be your normal peanut butter or whether it be PB2 I think peanut butter is something that a lot of people can't go without or they feel like they can't go without I mean I love peanut butter everyone loves it whether you put it on toast rice cakes I mean the beauty about this is that you obviously mix water with it so you can choose what consistency you want I mean if I want to actually drizzle it over something like berries or like oats or yogurt or something like that I can mix more water with it to make it more you know of a runny consistency and that's up to me and it doesn't add any more calories into it so you know this is a fantastic product the macro speak for themselves like I've said it's got half pretty much half the calories double the protein a quarter of the fat and the same amount of carbs with more fiber so I absolutely love this product it comes in peanut butter just normal flavored and it also comes in a chocolate flavor which has cocoa powder in there today I just got the normal and yeah that would be it guys if you guys have any tips for me if you have any other brands of this sort of product that have better macros let me know because I'll you know I'll suss them out I'm always all about learning you know I'm trying to teach you guys something but I am absolutely about learning I love getting constructive criticism I love people telling me about low calorie options I think it's fantastic you know with flexible dieting you can do that with if it's your macros I don't go 100% on if it's your macros but with things like peanut butter if you want to fit it in to your calorically restricted diet you're gonna want to go for something like this I mean that makes sense so that would be my tip for today PB2 powdered peanut butter I still do have some of this you know at times but at the moment especially I'm trying to stick under a certain amount of calories this will be the one that I use and like I said before you can mix different amounts of water with it to make it different consistency to use it in different things what a great product those are my tips for today until next time have a great day train hard and we can all make some gains peace


from the Portuguese Navy. I am supporting Baltops as a legal advisor, making sure that all operations of our maritime and air assets are in compliance with the international law. This year, for the first time, Baltops is being command and controlled from Stride for NATO's new Joint Operations Center here in Lisbon, Portugal. This is my first Baltops with Stride for NATO and I'm really excited to work with our allies and partners soon.


Hi, how are you? I hope you're doing well. My name is Ndanya and welcome to SPM Buzz. As I told you earlier, I'm here at the Tamarin Hotel for Mental Health Summit. And guys, you have to see who I'm with. So, please introduce yourself, what you do. Thank you so much Ndanya. My name is Amathim Tiso and I'm a mental health advocate. I work for the Coalition Action for Prevative Mental Health as the Executive Director and equally the founder. This is a coalition of mental health organization in the country and also outside. Right now, we have about 120 organizations in it and what we do is advocate for more investments at community level for preventive mental illness and promotion of mental health. That's what we do. Yes. Off camera, you mentioned something to do with, what did you say about taking care of people with the crimes? The crimes for mental health like suicide, committing things like that. Please go in details about that. Yes.  Like I'm so far away. Person who have mental health issues and challenges more often than not, they have found themselves behind bars for one reason or another because of laws that criminalize mental health issues. And one of such laws is the Attempted Suicide Act, which says that if you attempt to take your own life, it's a misdemeanor, you're supposed to be jailed for two years. And more often than not, people who attempt to take their life, there is a background of trauma, mental health issues and so on. So we are actually in court right now as an organization to petition the court to decriminalize this law. Okay. The other law is that also criminalizes mental health within the penal code. And these under the Drugs and Narcotics Act.  More often than not, these people who use drugs end up finding themselves in prison for using drugs to mask their pain or to heal their emotional and traumatic pains. And these are mostly youths. So you find our prisons are congested by youths who are found with one joint of cannabis and they are just masking their pain. It's the same way as somebody who's taking alcohol or antidepressants. They have painful experiences that they're just trying to mask them or to go through them to help them cope with those situations. So we are advocating for such laws to be changed or to be done away with. Yes. But how do you differentiate between masking pain and just using drugs for fun? Whether it's for fun or masking pain, there is an element of addiction in it. Okay. At some point when it becomes addicted. Even if it's for fun, why would you be taken to jail for having fun with cannabis? Why are you not being taken to jail for having fun with alcohol? Yes. Okay, but even if cannabis is worse, you know. It has been proven daily that it's not as each person as we live has something we call an endocannabinoid system in the body. We have an element of THC. It only depends on which, how much it is in the body. So these are studies that are coming out daily. And we know that the UN, even cannabis can be used to treat other mental health issues, autism, bipolar and so on and so forth. And that's why the World Health Organization has rescheduled cannabis for research, medicinal research to be done. And Kenya, we are just lagging behind to implement or change the laws of cannabis. Nakada knows this. The government knows this. We are state party. We are just, I don't know why we are not doing it. I have a question. I'm not even curious. You said cannabis can be used to treat autism. But I'm thinking cannabis makes you hyper.  How does it treat? First of all, there are some details that are very technical in my position not to answer. But data is there. Research is there. I'll give you the assignment to go and look into it. But it has been said that each person, like I've said earlier, each person has an element of endocannabinoid system in the body. And it's the most strongest system in human beings. We have digestive systems. We have respiratory systems. We also have something we call endocannabinoid system that works together. The receptors of cannabis and our human body work together. So it's all about the percentage of THC and all that. So it's big. And that's why it's been used. It's been given to kids who are autistic. This way it stabilizes them. Okay.  Yes. That's much I can tell you about that. But I can direct you to the endocannabinoid system. You can have a look at it. It's online. There's a lot of literature on it. Even how cannabis treats other mental health diseases. There's a lot to it. That's homework for me. Okay. I'd like us to talk about depression and anxiety. And how do you... What's the difference between depression and anxiety? Fortunately and fortunately, like I said, my background is not clinical or theoretical mental health. I stumbled into mental health out of life experiences. Right now what I'm going through is a process of learning and studying more about trauma and adverse childhood experiences. So you might ask me about depression, anxiety. I may not be in a position to help you because I've focused my attention now to the systems of mental health. Why don't we have mental health preventive investments? Why don't we have mental health promotion investments? Why are we so focused on drugs? Why are the community people are struggling with mental health issues? Why are we not having mental health conversations in churches? Why are we not having mental health conversations at the work? Why is suicide a crime? Those are the issues that I'm focusing on. Yes. Why are county governments not having allocations for mental health? Yes. Why do we have to build maybe an hospital in Kajiyado instead of having mental health services at the dispensary level? Those are the questions that I try to answer and look for solutions for. Yes. And so far so good. I'm learning a lot from you, but I'd like you to tell us since you started this journey, what are your challenges mostly? Mental health itself is a challenge in itself and especially systematically there have been institutional challenges and also which have promoted towards perpetuating stigma. This could be legal challenges, could be political challenges, could be financial challenges and so on. There are also social challenges that have been brought about by the mental health professions. I'm not saying they are not doing much, they have done their level best but this time they open up these conversations. For people now, you have realized that the social and environmental determinants of mental health are here with us. What does that mean? We need to look at mental health holistically. There are various intersections of mental health from housing, how it contributes to mental health breakdown, from water, sanitation, agriculture, droughts, transport. You cannot deal with mental health from a diagnosis or disorder perspective always or from a perspective of medication. We need to look at systems. How is our transport system contributing to mental health? How is matatu culture affecting us? How is our housing in formal sentimentals, formal sentimentals? How is it affecting our mental health? How is our education system impacting or affecting our mental health? How is our even agriculture and food system nutrition? What do we need? How does it affect our mental health? We need to look at mental health actually from all the 17 SDGs. Even including justice system. How does it contribute to having perhaps more mental health issues? So if you look at those aspects, those perspectives and how each individual and societies and corporate organizations can come into the conversation of how we can build resilience, then that will be a win. And those are the things that I'm looking for. And those are the challenges that I'm seeking solutions for and other members of the coalition and other partner organizations. Yes. Okay, as we wind up, let's take just one example, the matatu culture. Just can you give us in details, tell us in details how you think the matatu culture affects the common monanchist mental health? Ah, good question. Suppose you're coming from, let's say, Shokimau and you've taken a matatu. Number one, the matatu is not designed to be carrying passengers as it is. So definitely there is an issue of sitting position that affects you. So number one, you are irritated on how there is no comfort. Matatu ideally, the 14 sitters are not supposed to carry anybody. Even the bigger sitters that we have, the way they are being built, they are not supposed to carry human beings. Okay, that's one. Number two, the idea that this matatu, I'm not sure where it's going even to stop me. Or which route it's going to pass. That's a mental health distress in itself. Number three, I might have planned for my fare to be 100. But I could reach the stage and my fare is... Oh, it's not reading, suddenly my fare is 150. What does that do to my budget and my mental health? It increases my mental load. If, for example, I was going home and I was supposed to buy milk, I might not go home with milk. And what will happen to my child or my wife, GBV, will fight over that milk that I never brought. Is here it contributes. And then of course, the idea that even matatu itself, matatu culture, does not at some point contribute entirely fully to the economy. Because here we have drivers, we have touts. Are they taxed? They are income. Do they pay as yuan? They don't have payslips. And daily they use our roads, which we pay more for. Yet they are digging on that road. So in the entire, even where matatu stop and how noisy they become. For example, they are tout shouting all the time. That is noise pollution.  You don't want to listen to such noisy and loud music in a matatu, in a transport system that is public. Number three, look at even the way the matatu are. Abilled graffiti designs. What does that imply? That's disorder. Because what are they attracting? How is that disorder? It's a disorder in this sense because it creates destruction in the system. And everything that is great destruction in a public system is a disorder. And that's why we talk about mental health disorders. Yes. And even transport disorders. Matatu is ideal even when you come to Nairobi itself. They have no designated stopping centers. Or bus stops. The bus stops that we know for example in Nairobi is either the bus station or the railway station. Koja Mosk Or down there country bus. Every other place that matatu stop they are not ideally supposed to stop there. So that means they obstruct everybody. That's a disorder in itself. And this disorder is what happens to us. Once I agree with you, I transfer stress to you. Instead of you transforming it, what will happen? High chances that you're going to transfer it. So the first point of stress in this country that people go through is in the transport system. And by the time they reach their offices they start transferring that trauma to their colleagues. They start transferring that trauma to the people who come for services. They don't serve you well. And the entire country is frustrated. So the first step even for a country to heal is to have a system and orderly transport system. That's the first step. And that's why countries that have not understood this they create first of all public systems that are orderly. So that everybody can plug in. They know it's consistent. They know it delivers. They know it's effective. It's efficient. Do you think it's possible with the Nairobi household, the culture? Is it possible to get that order? Yes, it is possible. That's why even this summit is called. Ah, okay. Yes, it is possible. Everything is possible. Even beyond our imagination. But we need to look at even historically. Sorry, where did this begin from? Where did it start from? And how can we stop it? It's a cycle. What interventions can we put in place? Is it starting from the political goodwill? We need to polarize everything in this country. Which happens to be also a traumatic experience in itself. We're just perpetuating the cycle of trauma. So we need to look at historically where Matatu came from. What can we do? We need to support good initiatives. We need to be positive about good initiatives that have the best interest of the public at heart. We don't need to be always negative, always opposing, always creating barriers. When something is good, wherever political divide you come from, we need to give it a thumbs up and support it. Okay, so it's possible. We have a lot of negativity going around in the country at the moment. For whatever reasons, we need to have a new narrative. We need to change our minds from our churches, to schools, to homes, to jobs, workplaces. We need to start thinking positive. Then eventually everything becomes possible and falls in place. I agree. Positivity all the way. Thank you so much, sir. We've learned a thing or two and homework for me. So how can someone reach you if someone wants to reach you? We are the coalition action for preventive mental health. Our email address is capmhkenya at gmail.com and my number is 0701 385 386. We'll write it there when editing. Thank you so much. Have a good evening.


you probably find this funny. The first couple of years that I went to a coach, I wasted my money, in a sense, because I was pretending to be better than I actually was. I was trying to show off to a coach. And I was paying a lot of money for that coach until I learned the lesson.  You come here to just be real and authentic and get as much benefit as you can out of the session.


Is C++ worth learning in 2022? Where you reach right video, let me explain. This video was brought to you by Digitalink Academy. You're number one source to learning programming fast and get to that six figure freelance salary you desire. Our courses include our secret project course, our freelance Kickstarter, our Python course and our interview programming course and much, much more. So if you haven't already, go ahead and click the link below to get to our free seven step freelance guide so that we can help take your career to the next level. I'll see you guys in the course. All right, guys. A lot of you guys are wondering, should I learn C++? Maybe you start in college or a boot camp or even self-taught. You see C++ is one of the top programming languages. Hey, Rod, should I learn C++? And depending on your situation, we get into some of these scenarios later in the video. But what I want you guys to do is what's some of the programming languages that you started off with before C++. Or have you started off with C++ as your first programming language? Comment below as far as just your experience. And also come in about the experience with C++ learning it. Is this a struggle? Is it working? Is it something that you think is important? Go ahead and comment. I want to start a conversation below guys so I can get that dialogue in the comment section and start that conversation. So short answer, guys. Yes, C++ is a good language to still learn in 2022, depending on your situation. If you're just looking at it from a job market perspective, there's a lot of applications that are written in C++. There's a lot of legacy code that need to be supported by C++ developers. So you're in the money there and you can go on any job market website, type in C++ developer and you're gonna find jobs. So the question is why is learning C++ either right for you or wrong for you? And that's why I wanna clarify that most videos don't do, I wanna clarify that. So let's start with the yes side first guys. As far as yes, yes. Why should you learn C++? Again, I already went over to some of the things. Large market share with legacy code, all that good stuff. Very performance driven programming language guys. If you're looking for massive, massive, massive performance from like an OS level, something like that. You got an engine or something like that in your car as far as just the OS, in your car, things like that. Core, core, core software platforms that other applications run on. Normally that meets the realm of C or C++. So any of those projects is gonna be good for you. High performance applications. Some of the ones that I think of, MySQL, Microsoft Office, Microsoft OS, Windows 98 and all that is written in some portions of CC++. Adobe I think is written in C++. And just a lot of things. What all of them have in common? Need high, high, high performance guys. High, high, high performance. Also some of the gaming engines. That's another area that need high performance as well. Some of the Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed, a lot of other games are built in the actual C++ realm at some point in time, especially early on. So what's on the no side of the thing? All right, so if you're in a market that needs a lot of just standard desktop applications, standard applications that performance is not the actual top item on your list, then it may not be. And a lot of you guys may think, right, I want my application to perform at a high level. But the difference between how many users you're gonna be using this and what type of application you're gonna be building, performance for three users, performance versus a million users and application supporting, those are two different levels of performance. Most application nowadays may not necessarily need that power of C or C++. You got stuff like PHP, Python, C, C sharp, Java, that gives you a performance for that particular application, but the thing it brings to the table that C++ don't, is the easeability of deploying that code. Writing speed, speed of writing is a lot faster with the other ones as well. So you got to balance between writing speed or processing speed. And most application may not necessarily need the power of a C or C++ because you got to write so much code to get it and maintain it is a little bit hard, guys. So you start to get into the standard desktop apps, Hello World, things like that, training, stuff like that, it starts to put C++ on the no side of the column. So kind of keep that in mind. But again, if you already learned C++, your local market supported, how do you know your local market supported? You probably haven't took my seven step guide because we cover that as a main option. Go ahead in the description, sign up for my seven step guide. And if you already signed up for my seven step guide, go get that 30 day web development course. We go into that in detail and check out some of the stuff in the description box and support the channel get some of the premium courses, guys. So we covered the yes side. We covered some of the no side at the end of the day. There's other applications out there that you can write way faster code with C++, guys. C++ learning is another one. First starting out, I wouldn't recommend that be the first language that you learn. It was one of the first languages that I think it was second one, first was Cobalt and the other one was C++, but that was back in the, that was a long time ago, guys. Now I would personally start with Python, some kind of database language, JavaScript, PHP from a learning, pure learning perspective. And once you do your market research, you find out that there's job that's needing C++ development. You have that underlining knowledge of programming with the pythons and the PHPs and you know how to develop little standard desktop applications. Then you can go up a level to get to the C++ because normally when you're doing a C++ you're working with platforms and operating systems at that point. Car navigation, operating systems, some major project that requires a lot of processing power and normally those are not for entry level developers their first job unless you're gonna be a junior developer in that particular situation. So again, really good language to learn, good market share as far as just if that's what your local job market and you know what that particular use case is. But if you don't have a specific use case you're just trying to get your feet wet and get started it wouldn't be the first program of language that I would learn personally. And I find that a lot of people who are not necessarily committed to programming at the beginning, they try to dive into that one first. They typically get burned out depending on their commitment to the programming. I would say there are other languages that have a lower threshold when it comes to learning. So just kind of keep that in mind guys. So at the end of the day guys, it all depends on your particular situation, your local job market and where you are as a developer. How do you identify this? We talk about this in my seven step guide. Go ahead and sign up for that guys.  C++ may be that program of language for you. Maybe Python, maybe something else. But only until you go through the evaluation of seven step guides, gonna help you guys take your career to the next level. Like, subscribe to the content. If you have any additional questions or comments, go ahead and put them in the comment section guys. Let's start a conversation. And I'm gonna put a link to my seven step guide here on the screen.
