Hey, welcome back today, I'd like to talk about why I like and why dislike I

Love Indonesia, it's a beautiful country. Everyone is so nice and the food is amazing

If you've never had the experience of a good Indonesia it is

Wonderful if you have been and if you like me are married to someone from Indonesia

Then you know what I'm talking about

Even if you've never been there as long as you've had the food or had the the time spent with that person, you know

How nice they can be how respectful they are

And that's the food that they make is always has a really good flavor. So to start off

The people are amazing

everyone is so nice and willing to help you and

they

Are so kind to

strangers if you go to the right place if you go to

All the tourist locations and you have all the people just trying to sell you stuff

of course, you're gonna experience that you're gonna experience that anywhere including in the United States, but you go somewhere where

It's not full of tourists. It's just people out living their lives. They are

Receptive to you they want to talk to you. They want to meet you. They want to take pictures with you

And that's one reason. I like it. There's also a downside to that if you go to the tourist places

Like for me when I went in my family when everyone wanted to take pictures with us, they had to stop us, you know

We were trying to do our own thing

but every five minutes we'd have to stop and people wanted to take pictures with us and

You know just that but it's not like it's a big issue

But you will have to deal with it

Another reason I love Indonesia is the food the food is amazing. It always has a really good flavor and it's always cooked

Different there's always, you know a soup or you know, you can get the same

dish, but maybe they have

box o

Meatballs in it or you know, there's a chicken version or a beef version or a fish version

You know, it's always just delicious no matter which way is cooked. You can go anywhere and get the same thing

The price is really reasonable especially for foreigners and foreigners going

Then you know it's maybe cost a dollar to eat an entire meal with no

Medium with a tea is you know fifteen thousand rupiah, which is about one dollar

U.s. So it's really cheap and really good to eat and you will love it. You'll keep going back

another reason I love Indonesia is

The experience of being on the back of a motorcycle or on the front of a motorcycle

Driving around driving through the country

Breathing all the air as long as it's not people smoked

Just going out and seeing all of the different

sights we wouldn't be able to see in a car you'd be

Driving slow being forced onto different roads

But on a motorcycle you can get out there you can stop whenever you want to keep off the side of the road

It's a wonderful experience to go on a motorcycle anywhere you have the opportunity

always

especially wear a helmet but you have the opportunity and you have a

Licensed Renta motorcycle and take it out and enjoy

Driving a motorcycle

Some of the things I don't like about Indonesia

sometimes the

Hotels and places we stay that were a little lags. They didn't seem to care much about the

How they presented the hotel or the villa. It was not kept up as well as we have theirs small things and

Sometimes the workers didn't seem to care that

Guests were staying there

So that's one of the main issues I had

Have with in the dishes

the

How to say the villa staff are at best

They just want to be there your home which isn't like most jobs but in a service industry

You want to kind of make it a good experience for everyone involved which sometimes that didn't happen?

I don't think I have an issue in Indonesia is

the

Traffic there's not a lot of stop lights or stop signs like you see in other countries. There's

You're kind of driving around

scared that you're gonna get hit by someone you're getting passed about five different motorcycles and

You know, they're not paying attention or you know, there's a white sir so stops, there's no turn signals

they're all really don't we use them a lot of times and it's just dangerous and if you're

Inexperienced to that you will have a hard time

getting used to it or

You'll yeah, it's not a good situation to be in if you're not

Comfortable driving, especially

Normally but if you're there it'll definitely be different

Something else's I wouldn't say. I don't like but it's different is

if you don't

like

the food

it's

You still should eat it anyways because it's respectful to the person they cooked it

you know in the

Western cultures if you don't like the food you can

you know order something else or you don't like it that's understandable cuz you're not used to that food, but in other

countries they expect you to

still eat it and not

and not

Spit it out or whatever

It's not bad. It's just different something. You should be used to or something. You should be aware of that

That does happen that you shouldn't spit the food out or yeah

You just still try to eat the food even if you don't like it, which I don't

Agree with but that's how it is

All right. Well, thanks for watching

There's other issues you have with Indonesia or your likes just put it down in the comments and let me know

Let us know what you liked and disliked about Indonesia

I'm sure there's some good things to be

learned

So thanks for watching and if you have it go ahead and subscribe and the like button, alright, have a good day

Why Do So Many Scams Come From Nigeria? - Duration: 8:41.

Dear friend, I pray to the lord and he has provided me with good contact for you, a trustful

and honest person.

I am writing to you from Ghana where I am seeing to my dead father's estate and preparing

for funeral.

My father a former supporter of Muammar Gaddafi died with US $4,000,000 in his accounts which

I am looking to entrust to you to help me get it out of the country.

For your part I will reward you with 20% fee.

Please reply with your bank account number and be blessed.

Sincerely- Your Nigerian Scammer.

You probably have a dozen emails like that in your junk folder right now, but why, and

why are most of these online scams all coming from one place?

Welcome to another episode of The Infographics Show- today we're taking a look at why so

many scams come from Nigeria.

Nigeria is a country in West Africa of 190 million people, making it one of the most

populated countries in Africa.

A nation rife with troubles, its human rights record is rated as poor per the US Department

of State, and its government is plagued by corruption.

The people face a stark divide between the haves and have-nots, with fancy neighborhoods

directly bordering slums- and the police constantly patrolling to keep the riff-raff out.

To add to its troubles, Boko Haram, a violent terror group, is engaged in an endless war

against the Nigerian government to overthrow the secular government and install an Islamic

fundamentalist state.

To date, Boko Haram attacks have left around 12,000 people dead and 8,000 crippled.

In light of all these troubles its no surprise then that Nigeria is also home to the most

famous of online scams- the 419 scam.

Named after the code in Nigerian law that makes fraud illegal, these scams are perpetrated

online against victims who are conned into giving up their financial info or sending

scammers money or goods.

Despite an international crack down, Nigerian scammers continue to profit immensely mostly

due to a lack of policing by Nigerian law enforcement.

One Nigerian crime ring shut down in 2017 was worth an estimated $52 million dollars,

and its estimated that Nigerian scammers have brought in up to $2 billion since their inception.

Nigerian scammers vary in age, but are mostly males from their late teens to their mid-30s,

and what they lack in technical sophistication versus their Western and European counterparts,

they make up for with social finesse.

Nigerian scammers are more focused on the social con rather than digital manipulation,

using many of the same tricks used by confidence men around the world and mastering the art

of building trust and a rapport with their victims.

For many scammers, this 'job' is their only source of income, and scammers thrive amongst

the more impoverished areas of Nigeria where job prospects are low- even with an education.

Surprisingly, a large number of scammers are college graduates, but in a nation with such

few opportunities and rampant corruption, these college grads find it easier sometimes

to enter the con game than to live on the straight and narrow.

Many of these scammers also don't consider what they do to be stealing, which they look

down upon, but rather seem to not see their crime as financially devastating as it really

is to their victims.

Yet what they might not see as stealing has cost people all over the world millions of

dollars and forced many family-run businesses to shut down.

The victims tend to vary on the scam being used.

The most common scam, the romance con, typically targets men and women 45 years or older.

The perpetrators will stalk social media and dating websites for older men and women, ideally

looking for widowers or divorcees whom they know will be lonely and have money saved up.

They then build fake profiles and begin to swap messages with their marks, slowly building

confidence and trust- even going so far as to having paid accomplices speak on the phone

with the victim pretending to be the person portrayed online.

After a sufficiently long enough finessing period, the scammers will then begin to work

their mark over for cash- typically an emergency will be faked, such as a hospital emergency

and some sort of trouble with the banking system that won't let them withdraw their

own money.

In one scam, a scammer conning a Swedish woman pretended to fly to Nigeria from the UK for

a job interview with his son- once there the scammer claimed that he and his son had been

held up at gun point and his son was shot in the head.

The doctors demanded a fee to begin the operation to save his son's life, but because his bank

had no branches in Nigeria he couldn't get his own money in time to pay the fee.

These high-stress and high-drama turns are commonplace and prey on the good intentions

of marks they have developed a relationship with.

Others however simply ask for help paying bills off- typically these are targeted at

men who rush to rescue the damsel in distress they've fallen for.

You're all likely familiar with the Nigerian prince scam, which is another type of confidence

scam, and while you might think that this scam is too old to be effective, you might

be surprised to hear that an evolved version of the scam targeting large companies continues

to be fairly effective.

In this souped up version of the scam the scammers pretend to run a small company typically

located in Ghana- as explained by one scammer, Ghana is less corrupt than Nigeria and therefore

marks feel more confident about entering into business with someone located in Ghana.

The scammers will coordinate a business meeting with representatives from the company they

are scamming, even flying them out and putting them up in fancy hotels to make everything

seem legitimate.

Then once funds are transferred- typically under the guise of an investment or acquisition

of some sort- the scammers disappear, taking millions with them.

A third type of scam involves duping victims into becoming 'e-mules', or the unwilling

middle man shipping stolen goods from their country back to Nigeria.

This scam uses many of the same confidence tactics of the romance scam, with individuals

building an online relationship with a mark, who then is asked as a favor to receive boxes

of goods which her or she must then mail to Nigeria.

The items are typically either stolen or bought online with stolen credit card information,

and by having the goods shipped to the mark, the scammers can protect their own identities.

A fairly common scam, it can be difficult to punish the perpetrators even when reported

as local law enforcement in Nigeria is underfunded and lacking in capabilities.

Yet another scam involves buying compromised credit card information from digital thieves,

and then after amassing a large number of stolen credit cards, buying thousands of pre-paid

gift or credit cards via which they would transfer the funds to themselves.

American Express was recently hit with just such a scam, with scammers creating thousands

of American Express Serve prepaid accounts using stolen credit card data.

The scam cost American Express an estimated $1.6 million.

But the world is slowly wising up.

As two scammers commented to a Mother Jones reporter, ten years ago they could make up

to 2 million aira- or $12,000 US- per con job, but as the US has wisened up they now

make only about $200 US per victim.

Thus many of these scammers have turned to scamming their fellow Nigerians, falling back

on physical confidence scams familiar to any con man in the world.

White partners are often sought out and highly valued, as having a white partner lends credence

to a scam.

As one of the interviewed scammers said, "Black man believes that white man is reality."

Even though the Nigerian Economic and Financial Crimes Commission works alongside Interpol

to crack down on scammers, it can be difficult as widespread corruption makes effective policing

nearly impossible.

The scammers typically operate in large rings, and up to 30% of their expenses go to bribes

and payoffs of police and government officials.

As another of the scammers interviewed by Mother Jones reported, "We are not scared

of any minister or president."

So why do so many scams come from Nigeria?

Well sadly for the people of Nigeria there is a variety of social and economic factors

that work against them.

Government corruption sees the poor exploited, and a lack of economic opportunity forces

even those with college degrees to seek alternative ways to keep themselves and their families

fed.

Desperation has bred generations of online scammers, who's only choices are to resign

themselves to poverty or try to scam you to rise above it.

Have you ever fallen for an online scam?

If you were poor and had no options do you think you would turn to scamming others to

survive?

Vapour Barrier Under Concrete Slabs - The Structural Why Files - Duration: 1:48.

Why two concrete slabs need black plastic under them? Well, there's some

great reasons. Let's find out why.

So before we begin I just want to be clear

that this session is not about waterproofing concrete slabs and it

isn't about protecting concrete slabs from aggressive soils. Vapor barriers are

the black plastic that builders put under residential house slabs. They do

this for two main reasons:

- to prevent moisture from the soil permeating up

through a slab and into a house; and

- to reduce the amount of water in the wet

concrete being sucked up by the great dry ground when the concrete is first

poured. The black plastic sheet that the reinforcement is sitting on is the vapour

barrier. Waffle slabs require vapour barriers too and here's some photos that

show a few waffle slugs with vapour barriers - again before the concrete is poured.

The requirements to have a vapour barrier come from the NCC - the

National Construction Code (Australia) and the Australian standard AS2870 the

residential footings and slabs standard.

When we call vapour barrier in our

drawings we call it up as 0.2 millimetre thick polyethylene membrane. We show it

on top of a 50 millimetre layer of compacted sand to make it easy for the builder to

have the underside of the slab nice and flat. If you need to buy vapour barrier

you can get it from your local hardware store such as this product from

Grunt - which is an extra heavy duty builders plastic.
