My Question is: In your Childhood you moved sometimes. You're travelling a lot usually.
I think that Travelling, expecially out of our own Country, - It's very important for Personal Education. Expecially for Teenagers.
But there're Parents who don't let Travelling Their Children, ever when they're of Legal Age.
In your opinion - Why are they so scared of all that is "outside"? And what would you like to say to these Parents?
This is a Great Privilege as well. It's a Privilege to have a Home & feel Safe.
Many of others don't have it now. Let's see what happens in Syria.
5.000.000 should move from their Home. They lost everything & now they are living In Refugee Camps & Accommodation centres.
It's the Opposite of what you're speaking to. Your Question let me think about this Because ones I met a Guy in UNHCR.
In "Accommodation centres for Syrian Refugees" I met a lot of young people who I spoke with.
There was a Guy who told me - - I always wanted to travel & now.. I'm travelling.. But I'm invisible.. I don't exist in the Society..
They don't have a Passport.. a Permission to work.. They are Refugees in United Nations.
So he said to me: - Now I'm travelling.. But I'm invisible & I don't see anything..
This Situation is Shoking. He's constantly moving with a great Risk.
First he came in Greece And then he made an Illegal Journey to Germany.
And yes, he's travelling, but he's saying: "I wanted always to travelling & now I'm travelling, But I'm invisible & I'm unable to see anything."
I know - this is not a Reply to your Question.
But I think: - It's not a Journey itself to make you see the things. It's not only the Idea of Travelling..
Music.. Art.. Can make you Travel as well.. Can make you Discover the things..
They can make you become more Open-minded than a Holiday in Miami.
Obvious.. it's more fun to have a Parents Telling you - "Go, do what you want"..
But if your Parents are telling you Always: "Go & do what you want.." It's another Extreme which is not very usufull..
I don't know how to reply to you Question.. You made me think about that Guy I met 2 y.a. His Story has had a profound effect on me.

It's like where we're from, you'd be lucky to make it out
Not everybody gets this chance God help us all
J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League
8 Bars
I'm from the block where the powder blew minds 'Cross the street from the spot fiends crowded
two lines Summertime hot, had to shower two times
My very first pair was the Powder Blue 9s Thought Jordans and a gold chain was livin'
So I molded my image out of God's Son's vision To the point every communion that I'm gettin'
I'm in Bred 11s and Bordeaux 7s Christ, it was written and rap was our religion
Let my OG mold me, he hustled for a livin' 16 in the spot, close enough to smell it
Rode with him on his shift, he never let me sell it
Lost my mind 'round the time that bro got locked
Couple years before that is when Kev got shot I mean...
I could've been a crash test dummy Pumpin' for herringbones, beeper and sneaker
money
Said I don't wanna wait No, I don't wanna wait
'Til that sunshine turn to rain 'Til them good times go away
Said I don't wanna wait No, I don't wanna wait
'Til the devil take control Gotta hold on to my soul
Don't wanna wait
My brother got locked, I only visited once The ride was sick, smelled like someone pissed on the bus
He taught me when the gun buck, you duck
And I was only 18 the night I almost got touched Couple shots close range, I think God intervened
Same corner I seen needles in arms of a fiend Same corner I seen teens bear arms for the green
Same corner I seen kings die for a dream
Somethin' like survivor's remorse So when I hit St. Paul's, make the sign of the cross
Word to Wallace and the solace that I find in the lord
Found God 'round the time Al died in the Bronx
Bless Brad, bless Brad for the gangsta and the gospel
The Fix was like the Bible, Face was our Apostle
My fate was in the bottle, I chased with a Clamato
Vodka shots, no tomorrow, Hail Mary with my eyes closed
Said I don't wanna wait No, I don't wanna wait
'Til that sunshine turn to rain 'Til them good times go away
Said I don't wanna wait No, I don't wanna wait
'Til the devil take control Gotta hold on to my soul
Don't wanna wait
Everyone addicted to somethin' Some addicted to drugs, some addicted to hustlin'
Some addicted to women, some addicted to sinnin' It's the rush, the adrenaline, the high when it settle in
I tap a vein, hopin' that my dreams pop
'Cause I don't wanna wake up, and then the dream stop
But I can't sleep either Seen dudes better than me turn underachiever
Men with ambition get hit, turn up missin' I almost got shot, I started seein' things different
My homie baggin' in the kitchen
I'm just waitin' for this Hennessy to kick in
These drunk thoughts, soberin' my soul Seen karma come around, startin' to lose control
Just tryna get it 'fore the time pass 'Cause I don't know how long the ride lasts
Said I don't wanna wait No, I don't wanna wait
'Til that sunshine turn to rain 'Til them good times go away
Said I don't wanna wait No, I don't wanna wait
'Til the devil take control Gotta hold on to my soul
Don't wanna wait

Boiling The Frog - Episode 4: Don't Drink the Water - Duration: 5:05.
Oh boy…This is the million dollar shot, Al.
This is my grandson, little Joe,
and this is at the reception for my second swearing-in.
And now I have three of these,
grandchildren. And I don't want them
in 50 years saying, "Grandpa,
you knew about climate change.
You were a United States Senator.
Why didn't you do anything?"
"And also, why are you still alive?"
Because I would be 116.
Well, my son says that to me now.
I saw that show that you did.
Years of Living Dangerously,
that was such a great show.
And, you know what struck me in that show,
is that you appeared
to be so stupid
in it.
Maybe they can even show a clip from it here.
What is that?
Those are electricity wires.
Electricity is going through there now?
Right now, yeah.
One snarl is worse than the next.
This infrastructure has not been upgraded
for a very, very long time.
Right, so about 30 percent of what we are generating
is getting lost in transmission,
so when we lose the electricity
in the transmission,
we are having to burn more coal
for the same amount of electricity.
And that affects the climate?
That affects the climate.
I would imagine, it's a long flight to India, isn't it?
Sixteen hours.
Couldn't you have just read
what they're doing over there in India
and not have to act like you didn't know it?
I think in this rare circumstance
ignorance was actually a benefit.
But I think that's been
something of your persona,
throughout your career.
You're being generous.
I think it's in the DNA.
No, I think that everyone sees you-
As dumb.
Well, as an everyman
who's inquiring.
Let me tell you something,
you get off the plane in India,
Indira Gandhi International Airport,
number one airport in the world two years in a row,
and you have the flight crew
screaming at you,
"don't drink the water, don't drink the water."
And, you get out of the airport
and it smells like people are burning furniture.
More polluted than Beijing,
and they expect to have
1.6 billion people
in India, soon.
And they're trying to electrify
three hundred million homes.
And they're going to do that
at a rate of 7,000 homes a day.
Now think about calling your cable guy.
Well, it's a whole different deal.
Such a crazy quilt of an experience.
One of the things that I was profoundly affected by
was your visit to the
remote village.
These kids studying in these mud huts
by the kerosene lanterns,
and this woman, the matron of the family,
put all three of her kids through high school
and two in college, one getting a graduate degree.
But, the kerosene lantern
stunts the growth of these kids.
How heartbreaking is that?
There's a lot of heartbreak in all of this.
That's why I do my job.
The whole point of my job
is to improve people's lives.
I have such great admiration for you,
to have had such a
wonderfully successful career
in a diametrically opposite field.
Although helping people through comedy
and entertainment is certainly valuable.
I was a satirist,
you see,
and you a clown.
And so there's a difference, you confuse that.
I'm just saying, you are to me,
well I love you.
I'll just finish that way.
Well, I think what's important about my feelings
toward you, I do love you,
but America loves you, and misses you.
No they don't.
You'd be surprised.
I am constantly looking
for a version of your life,
where what I do beyond
is truly meaningful.
You can't have people coming and saying,
"I want to have the same impact as an Al Franken."
It's an impossible standard for people.
India now, they have coal,
and it's lousy coal, I think it's igneous.
I may have just made that up,
but they have lousy coal.
I need my smartphone so I can look up "igneous."
You're calling me out on igneous?

(not a hate video) my opinion on basic's 'why i can't stand kpop fandoms (sasaeng) video - Duration: 3:29.
okay, so I'm just making this after like watching
watching basic's livestream and the kpop video
and im sending no hate to basic at all i love her, her channel is pretty great
basically i
okay before i start, i'm a kpop fan
im an 'army' i guess. an exo-l and a vip and i know i commented about and i
commented a lot on her...
comment section of that video but like i tried to stay as reasonable as possibl
i wasn't really butthurt cus like after watching it a couple times i was just like oh
everyone's being butthurt about the wrong thing cus it wasn't about the fandom in general *doesnt make sense lol*
everyone made it seem like she was talking about the fan...
fandom *noises* she was actually sasaengs i think
a lot of people didnt get even sum people who don't like kpop which makes everyone seem like
these kpop fandoms are cancerous *cringes at saying cancerous*
and...
as a kpop fan myself....
i just thought oh well this kind of sucks for me everyone... how... everyone kind of h-hates me now
even tho im just a chill... fan *nah im an air conditioner* i'm just making this video just to adress this and just to send
just like some message to people who watched that video and
it was just like really suckish to see all that hate going to basic
like i know she wasn't crying in the thing (livestream) but it sure did sound like she was
and it was like (im saying *like* so much im sorry) so stupid how there were like fanwars between people who like
kpop and people who don't like kpop, and i was just like just like who you like. i think she read out my comment
i said why can't we just like what we like
and first of all... i think what we should make obvious is that sasaengs are not
'fans' of kpop... we're not like... we (chill, nice kpop fans) don't really appreciate them if that makes sense
th-that should make sense and like there are like sasaengs in the pop
culture as well
basically kpop is just a genre of music
it's like not everyone likes spanish music not everyone like pop music or like rock music or something...
it's just another genre of pop or music or whatever
so yeah, i just wanted to make this video
to address that and just stop calling the fandom in general 'cancerous' just call sasaengs (and other annoying obssessive kpop fans)
cancerous (xD sorry i dont like them) it's like how everyone says this fandom is cancerous, this phandom is cancerous
there are a lot of flaws and our fandom (every fandom that exists) the kpop fandom in general and other fandoms in general
but like
there are like
h-how should i say this... some fandoms are like layers blah blah blah that cliché stuff
so yeah, all my love to basic, hopes her channel goes well
goes wells i mean (?)
so ya there's my opinion hbu :3

SML Theory: Why Jacques Pierre can't be Jeffy's Father! PART 2 [Critical Cartoon Conspiracy! #5] - Duration: 9:26.
Welcome back to another Critical Cartoon Conspiracy!
Today back into the SML discussion of why Jacques Pierre Frances CANNOT be jeffy's
biological father, now today is where I prove that I'm not like any other theorist.
If you don't believe one of my theories I will MAKE YOU BELIEVE unless you're a
stubborn little shiesa then I can't do shit.
As usual I'm your host as Greyson Adams (@ThatNerdyJew) and let's get Deep into
Conspiracy! *opening plays*
Jeffy shows no signs of ethnicity other than painting and learning french which Mr.Goodman
teaches French,Spanish and so much more.
Also Mr.Goodman travels a lot so that can explain why Jeffy was born in France.
But Mr.Goodman most likely gave Jeffy up for adoption (because he does work at the agency)
then went on being rich and all.
Goodman knows art so that's why Jeffy's good.
However inside Jeffy's Brain where he learned "French" from his father you also have to
keep in mind that Goodman owns MANY companies including a language teaching thing.
Jeffy never said he "lived" with Jacques so that can also help out my point.
Mr.Goodman travels a lot so that can explain why Jeffy was born in France.
Mr.Goodman most likely gave Jeffy up for adoption (because he does work at the agency) then
went on being rich and all.
While Jacques adopted Jeffy FROM Mr.Goodman thus showing Jeffy's personal confusion with
his biological father.
Jeffy is INCREDIBLY smart there are spot on facts to prove such statements from episodes
such as Sml Movie: Jeffy's Homework; Jefft counts the ABC's backwards which in reality
is a sign of genius.
Jeffy even convinced Mr. Goodman to even create his own law of subtraction called "Jeffy's
Law", Back inside Sml Movie: Jeffy's Homework Mr.Goodman believes Mario adopted Jeffy but
in order for that to even occur Mr.Goodman would have to know that Jeffy was out for
adoption but how would Mr.Goodman be aware of Jeffy's existence???
Not like Jeffy was even attending school before all of this, he was most likely hidden inside
the house for most of his time because no one has even heard of Jeffy within any of
the school videos until AFTER he was introduced inside SML Movie: The Baby sitter.
Mr.Goodman also gets a very nervous face when Mario says the phrase "I didn't adopt
Jeffy" at this moment which can be seen at the 1:27 Time Code he also gives a weird
look when Mario mentions they're searching for his parents.
In recent SML Movies such as Sml Movie: The Fender Bender we hear a rather similar voice
on the telly that asks for Jeffy, let's have a listen.. *play 3 times*
as strange as this is already the ending SML question of this video will have you shook…
let's take a look… now let's take a quick look.
This isn't the first time Mr.Goodman tried to get close to Jeffy because what Logan didn't
want you to realize is that back inside SML Movie: The Fender Bender the entire time Mr.Goodman
was actually STALKING Jeffy?
Inside this entire movie if you can realize Mario hit Mr.Goodman's car but where was
he even parked?
As you can see it clear as day here Mr.Goodman was actually sitting in front of Mario's
house he was on his block when Mario was on his way back FROM McDonalds.
As well as being on the way back to Domino's pizza where they hit Mr.Goodman's car again?!
Only shortly after the short confrontation on the phone with Jeffy.
This is a theory from one of my amazing fans "LiemeCrew" whom posted this comment *show
comment* where I can agree but let me state it in a way that can EASILY Blow your minds
where as well it fits my theory.
"My theory is that in the New SuperMarioLogan Film we find out that Nancy killed Jacques
Pierre Frances believing that he was Jeffy's Father and she made it look like a suicide.
Then went to claim her only son Jeffy but only after a while in prison had she found
the hidden truth lies inside the SuperMarioLogan lore that Jacques ISN'T Jeffy's Father
while Mr.Goodman IS.
When Nancy finds out she breaks out of Prison she's going to seek revenge.
Not only she places a price on Mario she knows that she can have a hell a lot of money due
to Mr.Goodman's bank account, she would need someone who would easily be
on her side but who?
Someone who used to work for Mr.Goodman and someone who lost so much, a meth addicted
Clown, A Black Pimp and the psychotic delusional lady Nancy herself.
The Bad guys Tyrone, Screwball and Nancy are going to side together to take the one thing
Jeffy truly desires… an actual father so they kidnap Jeffy to attract Mario since he's
the legal guardian of Jeffy he would need to sign the rights away as well as sign contracts
if she wanted to reinstate his fortune.
I can only assume Mario will take action to his OWN hands and gather the OLD Sml crew
and maybe Feebee MAY make an appearance however I personally believe Nancy already killed
Feebee (but that's another theory for another time) but when the battle happens all I know
is that all the beans will be spilled, we will know who Jeffy's real father is as
well as seeing a bunch of important characters die."
Now how do I know that Mario wasn't the one that was kidnapped?
Well inside the SuperMarioLogan Movie Trailer though we did SEE Mario's hat on the floor
as the ice cream truck was driving away we also heard in the far away distance Jeffy
screaming but the way he was would only make sense if he was inside the truck.
Screwball is known for abducting and collecting kids as well as Tyrone the pimp inside the
SML Movie Bowser Junior's Youtube Channel you can clearly see that Tyrone was a victim
of hearing the N word coming from his son's friend but why was he inside the closet for
the 2nd time?
probably to keep an eye on Cody to make sure that Cody isn't learning that kind of offense
or something sheesh if I couldn't tell I would think that Tyrone would be an overprotective
dad…
*flash Victoria's Comment* Anyways I actually believe he was plotting on kidnapping Junior
and making him into a sex product before he upright said that N word again to get his
ass kicked And then causing Tyrone to leave knowing that Junior would probably keep saying
it and would potentially ruining his business.
Who else has Tyrone kidnapped?
Most likely Cody's Sister otherwise why else would she be in Wisconsin if not for
sex trafficking, there's a news article on this website called the "Wisconsin Gazette"
where they state the rise of sex trafficking in early February 2016 where the video Cody's
Sister was uploaded on February 7th, 2016.
Coincidence?
maybe but let's take a little further look into things with Jeffy's Sister Feebee,
was supposedly living in France because well that's where Jeffy was born but can we believe
that only she appears a couple months AFTER the Prostitution law was placed into order
there's also some possibility that FeeBee was a victim of being raped and killed during
the sex trafficking law in France was passed.
The sex trafficking law was placed April 13th, 2016 where Feebee's appearance may have
been in spirit to try and reunite with her brother for one last time.. on September 4th,
2016; where she appeared lastly inside Jeffy's dream.
Who has Screwball kidnapped?
Nobody really knows but I feel that he's been working with Tyrone the entire time because
who else knows how to creep around people's houses better than screwball?
let's take some clips that show how sneaky he is.
*show clips*
Now let's take a glance here on who was the previous hookers
before the girls that were allegedly taken, We have Nancy,Cody's mother and Joseph's
Mother.
Now inside the SML Movie the Magical Button we here see a very great glance of Mr.Goodman's
wife now how do I know that this is HIS wife? he has the same hair colour as him as well
as his blue eyes but why not his sister you may ask well because we all know Mr.Goodman
is vain as all fucking hell so why not fuck the mirror?
That's what he's doing, but if you can also see her son is locked inside of a cage
because he's 'Kwrazy'' Patrick may as well be the half brother of Jeffy due to the
fact they're both special needs but from two different mothers.
She ends up dying as well as Mr.Goodman but why her?
What's so important of showing just this random side character if not to tell us something?
We'll find out sooner or later here on Jewtoons!

No, Snapchat Won't Die - Duration: 8:32.
*Childish Music*
>> ALEX: Hey guys, I'm here, let's get technical.
When I'm not obsessively binge watching Casually Explained, I've been reading more
and more articles arguing that Snapchat, and it's parent company, Snap Inc, will die
or fail or not make it through the year.
As an avid Snapchat user, I raise an eyebrow the articles like these, and while they put
forward legitimate and really interesting arguments, I would like to provide some counter-arguments
to many of the popular claims that Snapchat will indeed fail.
Proving it will be a snap!
Ok, I got that out of my system, uh, let's begin!
Also, quickly note that most of the time when I say Instagram in this episode, I mean Instagram Stories, but it should make sense from context.
The first and most common argument I hear is that Facebook is out to get it, and the
logic behind the Facebook argument is that there are things pushing people away from
Snapchat and towards Instagram.
Let's take a look at what some of those things are.
One!
User history.
People claim that since videos and pictures disappear, there's nothing holding people
Snapchat, however, this not true.
Streaks and your Snapchat score, two things Instagram doesn't have, are some things
holding users to Snapchat, and, even if you didn't care about those, your audience would
hold you to Snapchat.
My Snapchat audience and Instagram audience, while about the same size, are comprised of
pretty different people.
Two!
Bad Tech.
The argument goes that Instagram's working software beats Snapchat's confusing and
outright non functional software, and I feel ya!
I've roughly estimated that Snapchat crashes a couple times a month, and doesn't sync up
my audio and video correctly a couple a time a week, which looks like this.
Roll the clip!
PUNS!
Yea, I'm so funny, just roll the actual clip.
*Alex sings the Game of Thrones Theme song but it is not synced up with the video*
It's annoying and it needs to be fixed.
However, even with all of its technical shortcomings, I still think Snapchat still has better tech
than Instagram.
Of course, there are bells and whistles on Snapchat like adding links to Snaps, Bitmoji
integration, and stuff like that, but, what Snapchat nails is the Geofilters, something
Instagram doesn't have.
Geofilters are such a crucial part of the Snapchat chat culture, They were executed
really well, all look beautiful, and are a great revenue opportunity, whether that be
from brands, or people hosting events who want to pay 6 bucks for Geofilter for the
evening.
And hey, face filters used to be part of my argument, but now Instagram has this.
This totally isn't Snapchat whaaaaaat?
I understand that the concept of Stories can't be patented, but come on, how is that allowed??
Three!
Userbase.
*talking in posh voice* Oh, but Alex, despite all your little pointy points, the userbase
is ditching Snapchat for the IG, what do you have to say to that?
Why am I holding a wine glass with milk?
Well I say, really?
Is that really what's happening?
Let's take a look at some demographics in a segment I like to call "The Statistics
Corner!"
Except I'm not moving, so "The Statistics Wall."
Except this is my usual wall, so "Wall!"
Welcome to Wall.
Right off the bat, Instagram is better from brand accounts.
For brands, Instagram is the perfect 1-2 punch they need.
They have a permanent lookbook on their main account, and can also do any of the temporary
stuff they want on Instagram Stories.
Not to mention, according to Instragram themselves, 60% of users say they discover new products
on Instagram.
Compare that to only 7% of users saying the best part Snapchat is the brands.
Yes, both groups of people weren't asked the exact same questions, but the results
are indicative of the larger point.
While Instagram may be the better place for brand accounts, arguing just that point and
then claiming that Instagram has a better userbase isn't looking at the full picture.
Get it?
Get it?
Because I honestly just got that now, I wrote than in completely genuinely, and I just got,
I just, man that was a great pun.
Anywho, let's look at the full picture!
Snapchat not only is better for advertising, but also has a solid number of daily active
users and captures eyeballs longer.
Let's break that down.
First, Snapchat is better for advertising.
Their Click Through Rate, or the percent of people who don't just watch an ad but actually
click on it or swipe up to learn more, is 5 times more than other quote "comparable
platforms."
Also, Snapchat ads receive 1.5 time the amount of visual attention as Instagram ads.
Second, people seem to be looking at graphs like this, which show Snapchat's Daily Active
Users, or DAUs, and yell OH NO Snapchat is dead!
Instagram has bububgu with the bebegu!
What is a bububgu?
However, note that Snapchat's DAUs are still growing.
I'm not concerned about this until they stop growing or drop.
We also don't have enough data yet to show that this slowdown is permanent.
I wanted to quickly note here that I acknowledge that Instagram Stories has more DAUs, however
that still doesn't negate my previous point, and the following point will outweigh ig's
DAUs.
I just used a lot of acronyms there, that was bamboozling.
Third, people are spending twice as much time on Snapchat than on Instagram.
The average Snapchat DAU spends 30 minutes on the app every day, while Instagram is only
at 15, and that's with both Instagram Stories and, well, Instagram.
Instagram may have Snapchat beat on DAUs, but Snapchat is killing it on usage time.
And finally, free advice for Snapchat on how to increase that sweet sweet eyeball time,
wait, no that sounds really weird.
Free advice for Snapchat on how to increase usage time: send more push notifications!
Have you, dear viewer, ever gotten a notification from Instagram that looks like this?
Yea, they're trying to get on their app, and it kinda works.
So Snapchat: send more push notifications for story uploads, and maybe even allow users
to turn on post notifications for their favourite Snapchatters.
Oh, y'all know I'm gonna plug my Snapchat at the end.
psych!
Imma plug it right now: @alexunickel.
Follow me there.
Ok, now that we've covered that, let's move on to the second main argument against
Snapchat: Snapchat has made no money.
This is the most legitimate argument against Snapchat's success, and basically goes like
this: take a look at this chart of Snapchat's earnings vs their losses.
Notice how, quarter after quarter Snapchat almost always loses more money than they make.
Oh my gerd this is hard and fast evidence that Snapchat is dead murdered slaughtered.
But, wait, let's look a bit closer.
Even though Snapchat burns money faster than me running to the TV on July 30th, there is
something that many people overlook.
In the Q1 2015, Snapchat lost $95 million dollars, and, in Q4 2016, Snapchat only lost
$4 million, a $91 million dollar decrease.
Heck, they actually were profitable in Q3 2016, making $4 million dollars.
While Snapchat's history does show giant losses, Snapchat is a young company, and young
companies are never automatically profitable.
But, yes, if Snapchat does want to stick around, they do have to adapt and continue the trend
of closing the gap.
And, they're working on it!
On top of Snapchat's many points of advertising, like sponsored face filters, sponsored Geofilters,
and between-story ads, they've also gone further in the past year with the release
of Spectacles and roll-out of user-paid geofilters.
And hey, if anyone over at Snapchat is watching, I don't know if it's just me, but I'm
cool paying y'all a clean $10, $20 to never see ads again.
Maybe it's just me, but uh, Snapchat, get on it.
Also, a free pair of Spectacles would be nice.
That concludes my second point, and, seeing that I've negated the two arguments for
Snapchat having no future, let's move on to the reason why the app will stay around:
the ethos of Snapchat.
With literally every other social media, you're not sharing your life, you're curating an
online persona.
This forces you to be significantly more selective in what you post, and restricts your organic
storytelling and sharing of natural moments.
Because Instagram posts go into your permanent lookbook, you're showing the world what
you want them to see, but not who you are.
Snapchat is different: with Snapchat, since photos and videos disappear, users have no
obligation to create an online presence, and can, instead, focus more on sharing their
life.
And now, with fall of Vine and Beme, Snapchat is on its own level with no other competitors.
And don't think that Instagram is a competitor.
Even with Instagram Stories, there is still the same level of formalness with the app.
The vibe of Instagram doesn't just go away when users use Stories.
And if you think that this is just one kid's opinion, we can look to how Instagram and
Snapchat announce updates.
Whenever Instagram sends out an update and makes an announcement, they post it to their
story.
The problem: what they post to their story is very formal.
It's perfectly crafted with just the right pen marks and text.
This sets a crazy high standard for other Instagram story posters.
Instagram makes it look like you could make a high-quality story, and if Instagram can
make it using the Stories feature, you can and should too!
Compare this to Snapchat; anytime they want to say, for example, "Happy [Insert Holiday
here]," they make an animation and send it to all users.
Snapchat doesn't touch the formalness standard at all simply because a user can't make
this animation in Snapchat.
Rob Moore said it best in his medium article: "People use Snapchat because it has created
a channel for low-obligation communication."
And that description will never fit Instagram.
I'm curious to know what you guys think about this, so let me know in the comments
section below if you agree or disagree with me.
Not to sound too much like the man, the myth, the legend, Philip Defranco, but let's have
a conversation!
Also let me know in the comments which platform you like better and why, I'm actually really
interested to find out.
And hey, if you want, follow me on your favourite platform.

DON'T DO THIS AS MODEL IN JAPAN / Ask Japanese fashion MODELS!! - Duration: 10:47.
So I use a lot of Instagram as well
In any case, you have to go outside and be seen by everyone
Having a good attitude
Hey guys, this is Cathy Cat and today we've come to a-collection which is like an event about fashion, music and style
And today we're gonna ask the models and the people that are on stage singing
What kind of things they think
You have to do as a model or you should do as a model
And things you should not do as a model
So let's find out
Should do AS A MODEL in Japan
My name is Haruka Kurebayashi
Could you tell us one thing you should do when you become a model in Japan
And one thing you should not do
When you become a model in Japan, it's fun to start using Social Networking Sites
Are SNS important in Japan?
In Japan Twitter is the most important one
But in my case, I have a lot of fans of "Kawaii" abroad
So I use a lot Instagram as well
Please introduce yourself
Okay ! My name is Hijiri Kato and I'm 24 years old
Once you become a model, I think the good thing to do
is to always walk around the city
It is important not to forget the feeling of being seen every day by people
Not staying confined at home
Yes right
Not staying indoors and go out
And by walking around the city
Photographers may call you out and take new pictures of you
In any case, you have to go outside and being seen by everyone
My name is Jura, nice to meet you!
The accessories
Even the smallest accessories, you have to have your style
Like your nails for example
Frequently be attentive to details and level up your girl power
It will pay off
Yes to girl power!!
My name is Saki Kurumi
And what do you do?
I'm working at a lolita fashion shop
Okay
Your looks?
Since you're being constantly watched
You have to be careful not to have stooped shoulders
And always think about the eyes that are on you
If someone takes a picture of you and post it on SNS
And you'll be like "oh no "
So I have to stand straight up
To protect your image ?
Yes exactly
- So you said you were working in a lolita fashion shop - Yes
So are you careful about sun burns? or tan?
Yes very!
Hiding from UV by using a sunshade
I'm fighting against it
Let's fight!
Sun tan is not good
I'm very careful
My name is Senanan, nice to meet you
My name is Mai Aisaki, nice to meet you
I'm Hina Kanai, nice to meet you
Things you should do?
Taking loads of selfies
Take phony selfies
I think the best is to stand out in any way. For better or worse
The best is to constantly be stylish and be conscious
And spend some money on it
Wear many different clothes and often go to Harajuku
My name is Roi, nice to meet you
I'm Oharu the Colorful Neet, nice to meet you
So what do you do?
I am a part time worker
I'm working in a maid cafe
So you're a maid!
Yes
Moe moe kyun ! (sound that maids make)
I'm so happy!
I'll go and see you
Yes, please do
And what do you do?
Well
I'm a Colorful Neet and a model
Do you have a favorite color?
I like pink or purple
But there are so many
The good thing to do would be to build up your body
For example by stretching
Recently I came to think that yoga was quite important
I'm pretty stiff but being flexible gives better movements
Also, training your inner muscle at the gym
Then you'll be able to walk beautifully which I think is very important
I'm momotaro
I'm Yu
Your fashion
Finding what you like,
is great since everyone's different
If there is a style you like and do some research about it
So gather a lot of information
And be fashionable?
Yes I think so
Try wearing different types of clothes
It doesn't matter if it suits you or not, try everything
That way you can really find your own style
That would be the best.
So not stopping at only one style...?
Yes because otherwise you'd only be an expert in that style
While it's better to be a model who can adapt to every style
You'll also be able to broaden your horizons as a model
That's why you should do it
My name is Kotono Yashiro
I'm an ad model
I'm also doing some radio
What is often said is stand up straight
okay
I think you really shouldn't skip a meal
You should eat properly since your working hours will be long
So by eating well, you won't lose your energy
And to get ready for stage
I think you should eat properly!
So are you careful about what you're eating?
Rather than being careful on what I eat,
I try to consume a lot of protein
For example, having a lot of meat and fish
And if you take the necessary amount, you will be snacking less
It's good for your health to snack less
And you'll need less sweets as well
It's killing two birds with one stone
Should not do AS A MODEL in Japan
Things you shouldn't do when you become a model
Could you tell us one?
In a public place, you shouldn't be too loud, breach manners
Or cross when it's red
You shouldn't break the rules
Let's follow the rules then!
As a model, you might have to do some small shootings
Amateur photographers may ask to take pictures of you
You shouldn't refuse those jobs if possible
Try to participate if your schedule fits
So you can get used to the camera
That's important
So not refusing a job even if it's small...?
Whether small or big, you should participate positively
It's important for your experience
So on the contrary, what are the things we shouldn't do? Or things you should stop doing or being careful at?
I am actually careful with food
So like no carbs for supper ?
Well, I do sometimes
The thing you should not do is to binge
I do it sometimes
I do it sometimes but it's better not to drink too much and make mistakes
The other thing you should not do is,
Because everyone is looking at SNS,
Not to say weird things
Way of living
Way of living? What for example?
Crimes?
That's obvious!
Be sure not do do any crimes
That, you should not do in general!
You should always behave properly in your daily life
- I think it's best that way - If you want to become a model
Train manners
Or, you have to be aware because anybody can be watching you anywhere,
It's not going to work
I'm one of those people who cannot tolerate tossing trash away
I think those are the most important things to be careful at
I think the bad thing to do would be to decide by ourselves what fits and what doesn't
Surprisingly when you try a clothes on
Even if you think it doesn't suit you, it might actually look good on you
For example, people tell me Lolita style doesn't suit me
But I'm still wearing it!
I'm wearing it no matter what
But I think the best is still to try
I don't think it's good if you decide from the beginning that you won't wear it
So surprisingly the Lolita style looks good on you ?
More people are telling me that it looks good on me
They're saying like "it's not bad!""I've gotten used to it"
More and more people see me as a lolita now
So having more confidence and trying new styles?
Yes it's because I've challenged myself
Since then, I have a lot more Lolita jobs
So it's definitely a good thing to try
You shouldn' binge
Also try not to hold a lot of stress
If you eat hold a lot of stress, it'll appear on your skin or on your body
So if you do something you love
You'll be able to shape your body up naturally
You should really not binge
For example I eat a lot of sweets
And I love cola as well
But I'm always careful
The teacher that is giving me lessons on posing and walking also loves cola
And the trick I was taught was,
If you really want to drink cola
You put half of sparkling water and mix it
It weakens it and you'll have less calorie
So it's a little better
Since learning this trick, I'm drinking it that way
You do this kind of things as well?
Yes I do it too
Like when you eat, you always start with vegetables
Or always take Calorie Limit
Before eating or drinking
I'm careful about it
This is all for today, thank you!
So summering it all up what should a model or not do
For example you should definitely start an Instagram account and get your pictures out there
Take a load of selfies
Also while you're outside you should
Have a proper posture and
Be aware that you are being seen by other people
So don't break rules or like slack off or sit on the floor
You're not allowed to do that in Japan either
Quite a lot of rules
Let me what else we have
Also you should be fashionable and try things
Even if you think they don't suit you
Just try them on
It might actually suit you
Better than any thought
And do some sports to keep your body healthy and good looking
And also things you are not allowed to do apart from breaking the rules
Is also binge
That might be alcohol or that might be food, just be careful with that
Don't talk badly about other people
And don't reject small jobs
I totally remembered all of that
With the help of this paper
Anyways, I hope you found that interesting
We're gonna ask more models
In Japan about their things
And their secrets
So you should check out the other videos on Ask Japanese
Thank you very much for watching, bye!

We Just Can't Get Enough Arcade Games! (Day 1946) - Duration: 13:34.
(upbeat music)
- Good morning, clan, welcome to the vlog.
It's Saturday and we are just about ready
to leave the house.
Just got the vlog edited, scheduled, it'll be up shortly,
and I realized that we never showed you guys
Sierra's final product on her little chalkboard
that she was drawing on last night.
It turned out really cute.
Really good, I like the colors.
They were worried about the colors.
I think it looks good, though.
And then they're gonna hang it right there.
So looks like the previous owner
already had something here,
so we'll just hang it right there, bam.
- Now, what do I need?
- [Clintus] That rope, - Some screws?
- [Clintus] got that rope on there, it'll be fine.
- [Tiffany] It's too high.
- [Clintus] I don't think so.
'Cause of the rope. - Yeah, it looks good.
- [Clintus] See, you don't wanna be like by the handle.
It's good right there, bink.
Very nice.
Mommy's wearing a new tie dye shirt.
Sierra's wearing her tie dye shirt.
Oh, new vase.
- Sierra picked it out.
- [Clintus] Sierra picked it out?
- I picked out a different one,
she's like, how about this one?
I'm like, ooh,
I like that one. - [Clintus] I like it.
It kinda goes with that color scheme you got going on.
Aged bronze.
I like it, I like it.
Slowly, but surely, guys, decorating the house.
This house already has more decorations
than our last house.
(laughing) - Oh yeah.
- We were in that house for 14 years,
been in this house for like four months,
and it already has more stuff.
Alright, guys, so we are here in Tempe, Arizona,
and we were in the vicinity, in the neighborhood,
and decided to bring the kids to where I went to college,
the University of Advancing Technology,
and show 'em where I got my education,
where I learned to do this.
So this is the common area,
so this is where you came between classes
and on the weekends, after hours, to work on stuff,
and all the computers are set up for different things,
so some things are for, big wide displays,
probably for animation, video, editing stations,
- [Bryce] Yeah, these are really long.
- [Clintus] Yep, coding, that sort of thing.
Right, upstairs is all classrooms.
This is The Known Universe, this is the school's network.
That's what it's called right there, The Known Universe,
this is, yeah, all the networking and stuff.
Here is the studio, digital video studio,
green screen, this is all new.
- [Sierra] This is where you record movies?
- [Bryce] What is this?
- [Clintus] We had, when we were here, there's a stage
and the green screen was only like this big,
so they obviously made it much, much bigger.
Cool, huh?
This is the digital studio,
all the hard, hard editing PCs, Macs and Mac Pro.
(laughing)
This is where the magic happens,
where when we're making movies.
And this was called the NT lab, back in the day.
This is, this is actually where I was an intern
for the school for a couple semesters.
And, as Todd would say, I was the worst intern ever.
(laughing)
But I spent a lot of hours in here,
between classes, this is where I hung out.
So this classroom's, particularly, what number is it?
What classroom is it?
- [Tiffany] 108.
- 108, somewhere right here, this desk was facing this way,
but somewhere right here, in this vicinity,
I learned to write HTML code for the very first time
and started my very first web page
back in 2000, right here, boom.
It's crazy, it's crazy.
So one of the things that was not here
when I went to college was dorms.
This was a parking lot.
I actually shot my senior project in this parking lot,
it's no longer here.
The video's on this channel,
I'll actually have it in the cards here,
you guys have to watch this video,
it's only a minute long, it's like a minute,
maybe a minute fifteen?
I didn't get an A because it was supposed to be
under 60 seconds and it was over 60 seconds, but anyways,
I'll put it in the cards here,
it was a great, for the video,
and it was shot right here in this parking lot,
that's no longer here,
but anyways, these are the dorms.
I've been in there once, I've been in there once.
But that is what, 'cause that's where people live,
you have to have a key card to get in,
I do remember that.
- [Bryce] Wait, where did you live?
- I lived in Ahwatukee, which was like three miles away.
Anyway, so yeah, school still looks awesome,
school still looks amazing,
I have a lot of memories, lot of memories,
and I wish, I wish there were dorms here when I lived,
when I went to school here.
'Cause I think personally when you're going to college,
and you live on campus or near campus,
I think it would it would change the dynamic.
You could literally like roll out of bed, walk in there,
Bob and Pete and Billy are hanging out, doing work,
you can meet 'em in the common area,
meet 'em in the library, I think it'd make a big difference.
But anyways, lot of great memories here,
got my education, Bachelor of Arts in multimedia,
majored in digital video production,
which is what this is.
So, and in essence, guys, I have my dream job.
(upbeat music)
And the final product, table side guacamole.
It's the best, it's literally the best.
- Nothing better than fresh guacamole.
- [Clintus] That's right. You got some fish tacos?
Right, Sierra, a triple enchilada platter,
- [Sierra] Yeah. - [Clintus] One cheese,
one beef, one chicken? - Yeah.
- [Bryce] We're sharing, us three are sharing.
- [Clintus] Mommy. - I have a plate.
- [Clintus] An extra plate? - Yeah.
- [Clintus] And I got some street tacos.
Totally my style.
Alright, we're here, Arizona Mills Mall.
Trying something new out, never been here before.
It used to be called Gameworks,
but now it's called Tilt Studio.
- [Bryce] This is where you said you and your friends go.
- Yeah.
Tilt Studio, something new,
Gonna try this out, should be fun.
Should be fun or else Mommy's fired.
Oh my gosh.
- I thought it was like a studio.
- Alright, so Tiffany found a Groupon,
what was it?
$25 for unlimited all day pass.
- $25, unlimited games, there's no tickets
and there's no claw machines, so no physical prizes,
but they can play all the games they want all day long,
so we're gonna go play some video games.
Use the boost button.
Yeah.
- [Bryce] Dang it. - [Sierra] That was fun.
(laughing)
- Ahh.
- [Clintus] Practicing their free throws.
You guys are horrible.
Come on, Bryce.
(laughing)
Right there, dude.
(laughing)
He didn't see it.
- I did see it.
- [Clintus] Okay, okay, okay.
Rapid fire, rapid fire, rapid fire, rapid fire.
It's kind of a cool game, Ballistics.
You're like laying down, looking up.
- Park, you have to turn, turn.
- [Clintus] There's a foot button,
what does the foot button do?
- Woohoo.
- Woo.
(laughing)
- Mom, come on, you got this.
- Ahh.
- [Clintus] Shoot the circle, shoot the circles.
- Get him, get him, get him.
- I'm trying.
- Oh.
- [Clintus] Why are you so bad at video games?
- 'Cause I don't play 'em all the time.
- Ah.
- Made our way back home, and little Miss Sierra
got her new backpack in the mail.
She ordered this on Amazon, couple days ago.
- Hmmm, yeah, I guess.
- About three or four days ago,
but here it is, open it up.
Check, check, check it out.
And little did she know, it actually holds a laptop,
not that she'll be taking a laptop to school,
but she could if she wanted to.
- Oh, it's not leather.
Cool.
- Jansport. - Mhmmm.
- Polka dot.
- Well, I thought this was leather, but it's not.
- [Tiffany] Oh. - I still like it, yeah.
- It still looks nice.
Yeah, see there's a laptop thing right there.
- Mhmmm.
- [Clintus] Very cool.
One step closer to school.
Fast forward a few hours later.
I got done watching an episode of Game of Thrones,
episode of Supernatural, pretty much the only shows
I watch on TV, and I have two, three seasons recorded,
so I have plenty of shows to watch,
whenever I get around to watching TV,
and something I just feel like vegging on the couch.
Very rarely, it's very rare that I watch TV,
but anyways, also what came in the mail,
couple of other things, I bought a new web cam.
Excited about that, 60 fps, 4K, not that I'll use 4K
on my streams, but 60 fps is gonna look super cool.
And one of two parts coming in for my microphone.
The other part will be here on Monday,
so looking forward to that.
Also, I'm very excited about,
you guys know I love my G Fuel,
I drink it almost every day, almost every day,
especially when I'm streaming,
and the newest flavor is pretty much my flavor.
I was excited when they announced it,
but I was a little bit bummed it's someone else's flavor,
I was like, my dream has always been like,
G Fuel calls me one day and goes,
Clint, what would your flavor be, if you had a flavor,
I'd be like, yo, it's cherry limeade,
and so I finally got a tub of this,
I'm super excited to try it tomorrow morning,
no coffee tomorrow, I'm drinking G Fuel
for my morning pick me up, so I'm looking forward to that,
there's a sale going on right now,
buy one, get one free, tubs,
you buy one, you pick the second one's free,
$35, plus I think like $10 shipping.
Normally, I would promote my promo code Clintus,
you save 10%, I earn that 10%, it's an affiliate thing,
but this is a hell of a deal,
it's buy one get one free, so you buy a tub,
you get a second tub free, gfuel.com,
I think it runs through the month of July,
I think, uh, oh, I guess July's almost over.
It runs until like, I think, this week,
so I don't know, when this video goes up,
just get to it now, gfuel.com, buy one get one free,
it's awesome, otherwise, if you're watching this
sometime later in the past, use promo code Clintus
and you'll save 10% on your purchase,
and then we earn that 10%,
so it's a little way for us to help each other out,
'cause I promote G Fuel and they help us out,
so it's awesome, I'm excited about cherry limeade.
Anyways, the girls are in bed,
Bryce is playing video games, I'm gonna edit this vlog,
and then I'm gonna hook up my new web cam,
and so I'm gonna say good night,
thanks for watching, and vlog on.
- Hey, Clintus, this is Robert from Indianapolis, Indiana.
Vlog on.

9 South African Creepiest Case You Probably Don't Know
South Africa is a beautiful country with incredible beaches, the big five, great entertainment
hot spots, and exciting sports events.
Unfortunately, the crime rate here is one of the highest in the world.
We have a frightening daily scourge of hijackings, rape, armed robberies, ATM bombings, domestic
violence, and murder.
Serial murders are not new to South Africa.
In fact, the country has the second-highest number of serial killers in the world.
In this list we'll have a look at 9 of the most evil serial killers that have operated
here over the last century.
1.
Pierre Basson Serial killing—in the headlines this week
after the discovery of the "Station Strangler's" personal graveyard - is a relatively rare
phenomenon in South Africa, police and psychologists said this week.
The six cases unearthed by the Mail & Guardian show how difficult it is to categorise multiple
murders of this type.
Two have a distinctly South African racial theme, four were sex killings and one was
apparently motivated by psychotic greed.
According to Playboy magazine, the US accounts for 74 percent of known serial killers and
Europe 19 percent.
The first recorded serial killer in South Africa was Pierre Basson believed to have
killed eight or nine people between 1903 and 1906 in Cape Town.
Basson ran a money-lending scheme, inducing borrowers to take out insurance policies naming
him as beneficiary and then killing them.
His first victim was his brother, whom he drowned on a fishing trip.
When police discovered the grave of his last victim, a German's farmer, he committed
suicide.
His last words to his mother, as the police were excavating his yard, were "I'm going
to get dressed for the police I have done no wrong."
More recent cases are:
Simon Mpungose, nicknamed "the Hammerman", in 1983 broke into a succession of Empangeni
houses, bludgeoned four people to death with a hammer and tried to murder four others.
AU his victims were white adults.
Mpungose's motive appeared to be racial.
According to Rian Malan, author of My Traitor's Heart, he told an Empangeni court that he
was fulfilling a dream he had had in prison 11 years earlier, in which he grew larger
and stronger, broke out of jail and obliterated all the whites in his path.
Refusing a defence, he said: "It (the murders) is because of what I have witnessed happening
to my fellow black men and also to me because of all that was done to me by the white people.
"He was executed.
Race also appears to have been a factor for Louis van Schoor, a former East London policeman
who between May 1986 and October 1989 killed 19 black intruders and wounded 64 others while
working as a security guard for a burglar alarm company.
Van Schoor (39) claimed self-defence during his trial in June 1992.
The judge said he had "shown a callousness and a disregard for human life", had misled
the police and shown a lack of remorse.
He was sentenced to 20 years 113 jail for seven of the murders.
Between January and August 1988, 46-year-old David Motshekgwa killed 14 black women after
"cunningly luring' them to an isolated area near Klerksdorp.
His trial, on 14 murder charges, was fie largest mass murder case in South African legal history.
Motshekgwa was found to be suffering from necrophilia.
There were hints of the ritualism which generally marks serial sex killings - the naked or half-naked
bodies of Ids victims were found covered with twigs.
He was sentenced to death.
Philip Ndyave of Queenstown strangled 12 women in 1989, on occasions robbing and raping them.
Found by the trial court to be psychotic, he said he did not know why he had committed
the murders.
Evidence was that Ndyave was the child of a cruel mother parental brutality is a common
theme in serial sex killings - with whom he stayed in close touch after leaving home.
Jacobus Geldenhuys (26), the "Norwood Rapist", confessed to murdering four women and a 16-year-old
schoolgirl, raping two of them, in the northern suburbs of Johannesburg in 1991.
Three were shot in the head at point blank range.
He was also convicted of two other rapes in the Rand Supreme Court.
He was sentenced to death.
Antonie Wessels, a homosexual and former bouncer, killed three men and maimed another with the
help of his 15-year-old lover.
Evidence during the trial was that Wessels derived sexual pleasure from slitting his
victims' throats.
Described by the court as a "dangerous psychopathic murderer", he believed his victims' souls
bonded with his at the moment of death.
2.
Stewart Wilken Stewart Wilken presents an interesting case
because he killed two distinct types of victims.
Serial killers almost invariably target victims who share certain characteristics, which may
be anything from their physical appearance to their vocation to something as mundane
as wearing high heels.
They do this because it provides them with an emotional release.
Ted Bundy killed young, attractive women.
Jeffrey Dahmer killed homosexual men.
Andrei Chikatilo killed children of both sexes.
Stewart Wilken killed adult female prostitutes and early adolescent boys.
Like all serial killers, there was a deep psychological motive underlying his choice
of victims.
Port Elizabeth is a large town on the east coast of South Africa, a country known for
gold, apartheid and Nelson Mandela.
It is also the country with the second highest number of serial killers, after the United
States (Pistorius, 2000), although this is a lesser-known fact.
By the beginning of 1997, at least eight people had already been killed by the same man over
a seven-year period in Port Elizabeth, or PE, as it is generally referred to by South
Africans.
However, no one had connected all the cases.
But Stewart Wilken finally made a mistake.
On January 22, 1997, a 12-year-old boy named Henry Bakers disappeared.
His mother, Ellen Bakers, was not concerned, as the boy frequently stayed over at his grandmother's
house in nearby Missionvale, which is walking distance from their home in Algoa Park.
However, when he did not arrive home by Thursday evening, she became uneasy.
On Friday morning, she went to her mother's house, only to hear that Henry had left for
home on Wednesday.
He had been missing for two days.
The Child Protection Unit was contacted and Sgt.
Ursula Barnard began to investigate the case.
She discovered Henry had been at his mother's house on Wednesday afternoon, after which
he played with a friend at a nearby park.
The friend told her that he had to go and buy milk for his parents and later saw Henry
with a man called Stewart Wilken in Dyke Way.
He asked Henry where he was going and the man said that it was none of his business.
Wilken was known to both Henry and Ellen Bakers, and had even lived at her mother's for a while
after he had had some marital problems.
Sgt.
Barnard set out to find Stewart Wilken, which was problematic because he did not have a
fixed address.
She was informed by a colleague that Wilken's daughter, Wuane, had disappeared in 1995,
and that there were also two charges of sodomy being investigated against him.
Like Henry Bakers, Wuane was last seen in Wilken's company.
The sodomy charges were filed by his parents-in-law in connection with the two sons of his second
wife, Victoria.
Sgt.
Barnard arrested Wilken on January 28, 1997, and questioned him.
He appeared genuinely concerned about the missing boy and eager to help.
He told Sgt.
Barnard that he had indeed been with Henry for a while on that Wednesday, but he knew
nothing about his disappearance.
In fact, Wilken alleged that he had spent the night at a lady friend's house.
He was released.
The alibi turned out to be false, and Wilken was rearrested on January 31, 1997.
The Child Protection Unit approached Sgt.
Derrick Norsworthy of the Murder and Robbery Unit.
He had been trained by Dr. Micki Pistorius, South Africa's first psychological profiler,
in the investigation of serial murder, which included advanced interviewing and interrogation
techniques.
Sgt.
Norsworthy had Wilken brought to his office, where the latter introduced himself as "Boetie
Boer" ("Brother Farmer"), and the name by which he was generally known.
Sgt.
Norsworthy sat Wilken down in a chair facing a photograph of the sergeant's daughter, who
was almost the same age as Wuane had been.
He left Wilken alone for a while.
Upon his return, he found Wilken staring at the photograph.
Sgt.
Norsworthy drew Wilken's attention to the framed certificates on his wall, signifying
that he had successfully completed training as an investigator of serial homicide.
Wilken's eyes found the photograph once more.
Sgt.
Norsworthy told Wilken that he knew he had killed the two children.
He also knew that Wilken had revisited the bodies to fantasize and commit necrophilia.
Wilken was silent, then his eyes drew on slits and he stretched out his hands.
"I am sick," he said.
Then, he admitted that he had killed both his daughter, Wuane, and Henry Bakers.
In fact, he had returned to the decomposing body of the boy that very morning to have
sex with it.
Wilken's full confession revealed disturbing details of his crimes.
He told the police that he "inspected" his daughter's vagina and found that she
had been "defiled."
He told her he wanted to save her from "this life" and then strangled her.
He kept her body (and later her skeleton) hidden behind the Garden Court Holiday Inn
hotel for six months.
The skeleton was found in 1996, but the police could only now attach an identity to it.
Wilken confessed to murdering at least 10 victims, including his daughter and Henry
Bakers.
Wilken was sentenced to seven life terms behind bars.
He is deemed a killer that cannot be rehabilitated, considering that he had shown no remorse,
did not look away as very disturbing pictures of the victims were displayed in court, and
even masturbated in the court bathroom during his trial.
3.
Gert van Rooyen The spiritualist believes Gert van Rooyen's
victims were buried under a pipeline on a KZN beach.
Yet another chapter in the tragic mystery of the six young victims of paedophile Gert
van Rooyen opened on the North Coast last week.
A police forensic team spent two days digging around a stormwater pipe on Blythedale Beach
for the remains of two, possibly three, of the victims of Van Rooyen and his lover, Joey
Haarhoff.
This followed a 15-month investigation by TV programme Fokus, which uncovered what they
believed was compelling evidence the girls might have been buried there after Van Rooyen
and Haarhoff holidayed at the resort.
Fokus executive producer Alet Wright, inset, said a family who had once lived in Blythedale
contacted her and said that while they were living there, their two-yearold son had an
"imaginary friend" he called Sheraton, who told him she had been beaten and assaulted
by adults.
The father had also seen the figure of a young girl next to their swimming pool, but she
had vanished.
Van Rooyen and Haarhoff were linked to the disappearance of five girls between 1988 and
1990.
They allegedly kidnapped Joan Horn, 13, Odette Boucher, 11, Anne-Marie Wapenaar, 12, Yolande
Wessels, 12, and Fiona Harvey, 12.
The girls have never been found.
Their last victim escaped from Van Rooyen's house in Pretoria and alerted the police.
Van Rooyen shot Haarhoff and then committed suicide during a police chase on January 16,
1990, less than a week later.
The couple are known to have holidayed in Blythedale and Umdloti.
Forensic teams have previously searched both locations, without success.
But this year, Wright was told by spiritualist LaRenta Marx that she was sure bodies had
been buried near a construction site on or near Blythedale.
A search of the archives of The North Coast Courier revealed that when the existing car
park and public toilets at Blythedale were being built in 1989, a stormwater pipe had
been laid on the beach.
The medium believed the bodies were under it.
Armed with this information, Wright convinced the police to investigate further.
Saps Forensics called in earthmoving machinery to uncover the pipe on Wednesday, after its
position had been pointed out by retired municipal engineer Leon Klopper.
The team dug further with spades and sifted for evidence, but were hampered by the depth
of the sand.
Former Springbok rugby captain Gary Teichmann donated two more machines, which dug deeper
but were eventually halted by a thick concrete slab under the beach.
The search was called off on Thursday night having had no success.
Van Rooyen had a long history of sexual violence.
In 1979, he abducted two girls, aged 10 and 13, taking them to Hartbeespoort Dam near
Pretoria where he punched them in the face to force them to strip naked and perform sexual
acts.
He released them in Pretoria the next day, and was arrested and sentenced to four years'
imprisonment for abduction – serving three years before being released.
Van Rooyen met Haarhoff in 1988, and is thought to have used her to lure young girls for him.
Children's homes reported that she telephoned, requesting to bring girls home for holidays
and weekends.
The couple applied to foster children, but were turned down.
The disappearance of the six young girls in 1988 and 1989 caused nationwide alarm.
After the suicide pact of Van Rooyen and Haarhoff had been carried out, police discovered forensic
evidence and eyewitnesses confirming they had taken the girls.
Police searched their Pretoria property and locations in Umdloti and Blythedale where
they had holidayed in vain.
On March 12, 2007, a set of adolescent bones was found on the beach near Umdloti, about
500 metres from a resort Van Rooyen and Haarhoff had visited.
But DNA testing did not identify any of the victims.

Louis van Schoor Mass murderer Louis van Schoor walked straight
into the arms of his fiancee when he was released on parole after serving 12 years of his 20-year
sentence in the East London prison.
He was convicted in 1992 of seven murders and two attempted murders.
He was freed on Friday.
Van Schoor, 53, a former member of the police dog unit and security guard, made world headlines
when it was alleged that he had killed 39 people.
His modus operandi involved responding to silent alarms set up in business premises,
then shooting suspects with his 9mm parabellum.
At one point before his conviction he admitted to a journalist that he had shot 100 people
during his career as a security guard between 1986 and 1989.
His daughter, murderer Sabrina van Schoor, 23, was left behind in the same prison when
her father walked free.
She is serving a 25-year sentence for hiring a hitman to slit her mother's throat in 2002.
She reportedly arranged the murder of her mother, Beverly van Schoor, a Queenstown businesswoman,
because she abused her verbally and physically and because she was racist and did not approve
of Sabrina's black friends.
As the hitman stabbed her mother to death, Sabrina waited in her bedroom with her baby.
Before her conviction two years ago, Sabrina said she wanted her father to look after her
child even though she had at one time stated that he had assaulted her mother and threatened
to kill her.
Van Schoor would not confirm whether he would adopt his three-year-old granddaughter Tatum.
"I will always support my daughter and will try to create a bond with my grandchild,"
said Van Schoor, minutes after his release.
"I saw Sabrina on Wednesday.
We had a nice chat.
She is very excited for me.
The bond between us will not be broken."
Van Schoor's fiancee, Eunice de Kock, 38, is a Cape Town lawyer whom he says he met
"through the media" four years ago.
She will be his fifth wife.
She wore a black suit, seamed black hose and ankle strap stilettos to meet her lover.
The two embraced and kissed passionately before and after a media briefing at Fort Glamorgan
Prison.
"She is a very dear friend of mine.
We are engaged and we will see where it goes from here," said Van Schoor.
"I doubt that we will be living together because she is from Cape Town and I am from East London."
Looking fit and healthy and wearing a bright red golf shirt, he said his intention was
to "go farming".
He had studied agriculture in prison and spent his leisure time gardening in the grounds.
Reading out a pencil-written media statement, Van Schoor said he was happy to rejoin society.
"I am hoping that after so many years the public will not judge me on my past but rather
on my future.
I want to thank my daughters, Jane and Amy, and all the friends who stood by me through
the last 12 years."
He also thanked prison personnel.
"I have no words to describe how I feel and am very excited to see what comes my way.
I am planning to write a book about my life."
He initially said he had "nothing to say" to the families of the men he had murdered,
but eventually said he wanted their forgiveness.
"To the families and friends of my victims, I apologise if my action caused any hurt and
discomfort."
A prison official, Phineas Mouna, described Van Schoor as "a model prisoner" who showed
leadership qualities.
5.
David Randitsheni Johannesburg - A 45-year-old serial child
rapist and murderer was sentenced to multiple life terms by the Modimolle Circuit Court
in Limpopo on Tuesday, national police said.
"David Randitsheni was sentenced to 16 life sentences plus 220 years imprisonment for
a series of murders, rapes and kidnappings he committed between 2004 and 2008," Director
Sally de Beer said.
Randitsheni was convicted on 10 counts of murder, 17 counts of rape, one count of indecent
assault and 18 counts of kidnapping.
"There was only one count of rape for an adult female," De Beer said.
He was arrested on May 16 2008 after an intensive police investigation during which over 550
DNA samples were tested before a police forensic expert identified the suspect.
"All 19 victims were kidnapped and raped and 10 were murdered in a crime spree which devastated
the community of Modimolle," she said.
Judge Roger Claassen, in handing down the sentence, stipulated that Randitsheni could
not be considered for parole for the next 35 years.
By that time, he would be 80-years-old.
The SABC reported that in delivering judgement, Claassen said the crimes were committed in
a horrific manner, and as Randitsheni made admissions but chose to remain silent, showed
that he had no reasons to prove his innocence.
Claassen said the State had proven beyond a reasonable doubt he committed the offences.
Recently convicted Modimolle serial killer David Randitsheni, 45, has committed suicide,
said Limpopo police on Monday.
Captain Mashudu Malelo said Randitsheni was found hanging by a sheet from a window frame
in the Thohoyandou prison on Sunday.
An inquest docket was opened.
Randitsheni was serving 16 life sentences and 220 years after he was sentenced in the
Modimolle Circuit Court three weeks ago.
Randitsheni was convicted on 10 counts of murder, 17 counts of rape, one count of indecent
assault and 18 counts of kidnapping.
He had raped and killed a number of children and one adult in the Modimolle area between
2004 and 2008.
He was arrested on May 16, 2008 after an intensive police investigation during which over 550
DNA samples were tested before a police forensic expert identified the suspect.

Christopher Mhlengwa Zikode Christopher Mhlengwa Zikode, one of KwaZulu-Natal's
most notorious serial killers, could potentially be eligible for parole.
In 1997, Zikode was given five life sentences after he was found guilty of 21 charges of
murder, rape, indecent assault and housebreaking with intent to rape or murder.
He terrorised the residents of Donnybrook Township between April and September 1995.
Many of his killings were conducted execution-style and Zikode would kill his rape victims and
mutilate them.
He would break into people's homes and confront them in the dead of night.
During the early hours of June 24, 1995, Zikode repeatedly raped a woman and her nine-year-old
daughter on the same bed.
The following month, he broke into Zanele Khumalo's bedroom while she was asleep.
He shot her in the head, then dragged her to a nearby plantation and raped her.
These are just a few of the many atrocities Zikode has committed.
In 1995 during a three-week spree Bongani Mfeka, another KwaZulu-Natal serial killer,
who preyed on women commuters at the Kranskop taxi rank, was sentenced to four life sentences
after pleading guilty to four murders, an attempted murder, rape and theft.
Mfeka would lure women from the taxi rank and promise them work.
He then would lead them to a secluded forest, strangle and sometimes rape them.
Mfeka confessed in detail how he murdered the women and pointed out where he had left
the bodies, which were sometimes found in a state of decomposition.
He said he strangled the women because he had lied about finding them jobs, because
he was unemployed himself.
Dhevaraj Naidoo, a former teacher, was sentenced to death in 1994 but had his death sentence
replaced with life in 1999 by the Supreme Court of Appeal.
Naidoo was jailed for the murder of his wife, Amrita and daughter, Prashana, 7.
He was said to be a sole beneficiary of his wife's insurance policies, totalling R1
million.
Naidoo, too, is potentially eligible for parole.
Bheki Mazibuko laughed as the judge handed down his sentence of life imprisonment for
the murder of Durban businessman, Victor du Preez, and a colleague, David Ibbetson, in
1994.
The two had gone to check repair work in KwaMashu when they were robbed by Mazibuko and an accomplice,
Nhlanhla Mlambo.
Du Preez was assaulted, sworn at, pinned down and shot in the head.
Mazibuko and Mlambo then drove away with Ibbetson's car.
Soon after, they were arrested and found with possessions belonging to Ibbetson and Du Preez.
Mlambo was sentenced to 25 years.
Mazibuko and Mlambo had shown no remorse for their crime and were labelled a threat to
society.
Nkosikhona Gasela and Thembelani Sibiya were sentenced to life imprisonment in 1999 for
the murder of Kranskop timber farmer Friedel Redinger, former mayor of Kranskop.
Redinger was driving through his plantation when he was stopped by Gasela, ordered to
get out of his vehicle and was shot through the back of his head with a home-made shotgun.
Redinger was robbed of his car, farm radio and cellphone.
Sibiya and Gasela were members of the community police forum at the time of the murder.

Bulelani Mabhayi Mthatha - He has cracked some of the most
serious criminal cases in the Eastern Cape – including the arrest of a serial rapist
in Mzamba, who raped and murdered women and removed their wombs for muti.
But the arrest of Bulelani Mabhayi, the "Monster of Tholeni", proved to be the most daunting
for Captain Aaron Hanise.
"This was a very difficult case.
People had no clue who was terrorising the community," he said.
Mabhayi operated in the Eastern Cape, preying on victims in Tholeni – a place that became
known as "the village of death".
The village lies along the N2 freeway, about 15km from Butterworth, a town situated between
East London and Mthatha.
It's a small village.
Herds of cattle, sheep and goats graze on the vegetation growing in the almost barren
landscape.
"There aren't many jobs around and most people just keep livestock or do odd jobs
in the village or town," said Nomfundiso Mpontshane, an activist whose house was used
as a victim support centre for traumatised relatives and other frightened villagers during
Mabhayi's reign of terror.
There are abandoned and dilapidated buildings interspersed with brightly painted houses.
The deserted houses belonged to Mabhayi's victims or their relatives – an eerie reminder
of his trail of destruction.
It was in June 2010, after the murder of Sinazo Mbeki and her two grandchildren, that Hanise
was tasked with tracking the perpetrator behind a string of murders now believed to be linked.
The three killings brought to eight the tally of murders that were believed to have been
committed by the same perpetrator.
Authorities were for the first time admitting that they were looking for a serial killer.
Hanise and his team of detectives initially put up a R250 000 reward for an arrest leading
to a conviction, but nobody came forward with any helpful information.
"We called the psychologists' office to help determine if we had a serial killer on
our hands.
They confirmed that," said Hanise.
DNA samples were also collected from some of the village residents with previous rape
convictions in the hope of finding a link.
It came to naught.
The case stalled and so provincial police management initiated a strategy called Operation
Good Hope, drawing on police from various units including the organised crime unit,
the dog unit and forensic divisions.
The joint operation made its first move on May 17, 2010, when hundreds of males over
the age of 16 were rounded up in an early-morning blitz in the area.
They were taken to a local church, where they had their DNA samples and fingerprints taken.
Mabhayi was among them.
But his fingerprints could not be lifted as he did not have an ID document.
The police focus did not deter Mabhayi.
He continued with his killing spree, murdering five more people over the next 13 months.
The breakthrough, when it was finally made, came as a result of Mabhayi's indiscretion
rather than good detective work.
On August 11 last year, Mabhayi murdered Nophumzile Florence Lubambo and accidentally left his
shoe at the crime scene.
It was a mistake that led to his arrest.
"We were looking for another person, who happened to be his (Mabhayi)'s brother,
the late Siyabonga.
Incidentally, we got him because of the shoe we found on the crime scene.
It matched the one he was wearing," said Hanise.
The saliva that had been drawn from Mabhayi during Operation Good Hope proved indispensable.
His DNA test results linked him to the string of murders.
"It was a huge relief when he was arrested.
I can gladly go on pension now," laughed Hanise.
As Mabhayi began serving his life sentence in prison on Tuesday, residents of the village
he terrorised for so long said they continued to live in fear.
Many believe Mabhayi was not working alone when he committed his crimes.
"When he testified in court, he (Mabhayi) always said 'we' when he answered questions.
Who else was he referring to?" asked Mpontshane.
By that time, the "Monster" had already murdered 15 victims.
He simply carried on and killed five more people before he made a mistake.
Leaving his shoe behind next to his last victim meant the end of his reign of terror.
In 2012, Mabhayi was given 25 life terms without the possibility of parole.

Jack Mogale "I didn't do anything.
You know how life is, this is a challenge, I didn't do any of those things.
I don't even know those women"
These were the words of serial killer and rapist Jack Mogale before he was found guilty
of 52 crimes, including 16 murders and 12 rapes.
Judge Frans Kgomo described Mogale as a liar who contradicted himself numerous times and
tried to shift blame every time he was cornered.
"I can safely say that the accused was an untruthful witness whose evidence cannot be
relied on.
He contradicted himself and came up with new versions.
I formed the impression that he was not telling the whole truth," said Kgomo.
"The state has proved beyond reasonable doubt the accused's guilt".
Mogale may have been nailed by DNA evidence, admissions, two women who survived his killing
spree and a confession statement he made after the arrest, but it was his fiancee, main state
witness Charlotte Manaka who put the nail in the coffin with a testimony that contradicted
all of Mogale's versions.
Kgomo started judgment by dismissing Mogale's version that police had conspired against
him by taking a used condom from his house on the day he was arrested and using the specimen
found in it as DNA evidence.
"This defense is very suspicious, especially because the DNA kit was compiled long before
the accused was even identified as a suspect and long before he was arrested.
The accused's own girlfriend testified that they were not using condoms," said the judge.
The judge also said Manaka confirmed that Mogale normally wore a Zion Christian Church
badge or sangoma beads.
That confirmed the evidence of two women who said they were tricked into believing Mogale
was a prophet sent by God to cure them.
They both identified him by the badge and sangoma beads.
Kgomo further rejected Mogale's version that police fabricated the contents of his
confession statement, calling it a "fragment of his own imagination".
Mogale killed 16 women and raped 12 in the Lenasia and Westonaria area between 2008 and
2009.
He was also convicted on numerous counts of theft, kidnapping, sexual assault and escaping
from lawful custody.
One of the alleged victims was 19 years old when Mogale allegedly battered her face with
a brick while raping her in an open veld in Westonaria.
She testified that she had accepted a lift from Mogale and only realised that she was
in danger when he took the wrong turn and became aggressive when she asked where they
were going.
The woman said after the rape, he left her unconscious and bleeding in the veld.
She only woke up the following day and crawled to a nearby road where she was able to get
help.
Mogale allegedly murdered Hanyeleni Mhangwani who had testified against him in a RDP house
fraud case at Westonaria magistrate's court.
He also raped and killed Dipuo Mogadi, Umanikazonke Sindane, Sonto Tsotetsi, Nothembela Ndabisa,
Dipuo Denese, Mamikie Tlallo and nine other women whose bodies have not been identified.
"Evidence showed that a sim card belonging to the accused was inserted in the victim's
missing cellphone.
The accused could not explain how that happened when he was questioned," said Kgomo.
The judge went on to say that evidence indicates that the murders were the work of a serial
killer and it all pointed to Mogale.
"In the light of the totality of evidence, much of which is uncontested such as the DNA
evidence, the admissions and testimonies, it can be confirmed that in all the bodies,
except the one of a child, the cause of death was strangulation.
Bodies were left in sexual positions, naked and raped," said the judge.
"On the day he was arrested, the accused displayed hatred for women, he behaved like
a psychopath and even showing his manhood to the female police officer.
When he met the same policewoman at the station he said "when I come out of here you will
be the first person I rape and kill.

Moses Sithole South Africa's most prolific serial killer
to date, Moses Sithole stands convicted of 38 slayings in a series of "ABC Murders" committed
between January and October 1995.
The crimes received their media nickname from the fact that they began in Atteridgeville
(spawning ground for so many South African slayers), continued in Boksburg, and claimed
more lives in Cleveland.
The victims, all female, were apparently lured or transported to outlying fields where they
were beaten, stripped, raped, and strangled with articles of their own clothing.
Several victims were found with hands tied behind their backs, and one still wore a blindfold.
Many were left with pieces of clothing draped across their faces as if to prevent them from
staring at their killer in death.
South African authorities, virtually overrun by serial killers in the wake of apartheid's
collapse, consulted exFBI Agent Robert Ressler in their search for the "ABC" killer.
Working in conjunction with Dr. Micki Pistorius, Ressler concluded that the murders in all
three communities were linked.
President Nelson Mandela was concerned enough about the crime wave to cancel a scheduled
trip abroad, appearing in Boksburg with high-ranking justice officials, where he appealed for public
help in tracking the strangler.
Police got their break in early October 1995 when a Capetown newspaper, The Star, received
an anonymous telephone call from the slayer.
He identified himself as "the man that is so highly wanted," describing his murders
as an act of revenge for a prior miscarriage of justice.
As describes by the caller, he had been arrested in 1978 for "a crime I didn't do"-specifically,
a rape-and spent the next 14 years in prison, where he was "abused" and "tortured" by fellow
inmates.
To make matters worse, the caller said, his parents and sister had died while he was in
prison.
In retaliation for those wrongs, he explained, "l force a woman to go where I want, and when
I go there I tell them, 'Do you know what?
I was hurt, so I'm doing ¡t now.'
Then I kill them."
When asked how many victims he had killed, the caller claimed 76-twlce as many as police
had found thus far.
To verify his claim, he signed off with directions to the corpse of "a lady I don't think the
police have discovered."
With so many clues in hand, police soon focused their search on Moses Sithole, a 31-year-old
ex-convict and youth counselor who had suddenly dropped out of sight.
Known to use as many as six pseudonyms, he proved an elusive quarry, but a tip directed
them to his hideout in the Johannesburg slum of Benoni on October 18.
Armed with a hatchet when officers approached him, Sithole wounded one policeman before
he was shot and disarmed.
He survived his wounds and was soon transferred from intensive care to a military hospital,
where physicians diagnosed him as HIV-positive.
In custody, he boasted of teaching his victims "a very good lesson" by killing them.
Robert Ressler's profile of the "ABC" killer had suggested the possibility of two TEAM
KILLERS working together, and police initially suspected that Sithole might be an accomplice
of David Selepe, linked to a half-dozen murders of women in Cleveland, but Sithole denied
ever meeting Selepe, and no evidence has been found to connect the two men.
(Selepe, for his part, had nothing to say on the subject.
He was shot dead in December 1994, reportedly after attacking a policeman on a visit to
one of his crime scenes.
The officer who killed him was exonerated on a claim of self-defense.)
A full year passed before Moses Sithole made his first court appearance, on October 22,
1996, formally charged with 38 murders, 40 rapes, and six counts of robbery.
His trial, scheduled to begin on November 14, was postponed when Sithole arrived in
court that morning, his pants drenched in blood.
He was rushed to a hospital, treated for an open knee wound apparently sustained at Pretoria
Central Prison.
When his trial finally convened in February 1997, an American voice expert identified
Sithole as the caller who had boasted of his murders to reporters at The Star.
Sithole had also confessed his crimes in detail to other inmates, some of whom were curiously
equipped with both tape recorders and video cameras, capturing his boasts for posterity.
The long-winded proceedings were delayed once again in August when Sithole started vomiting
blood from a stomach ulcer, but there was no escaping justice.
On December 5, 1997, jurors convicted Sithole on all counts; the following day, he was sentenced
to a prison term of 2,410 years.
