![]() She was confused about why he would invite her into this world. At the same time, she began messaging privately with the Torture King. Kapetanich - screen name “Jane Doe” - could hardly comprehend the level of sadism she saw. Among the cruellest contributors to the group was “The Immolator”, a 35-year-old woman who loved birds and lived with her parents in the English midlands. There was “Trevor”, who couldn’t contribute during daytime hours because, “no phone at work, nuclear stuff”.Īnd it wasn’t just Americans, there were dedicated members in Europe and Australia. There was the Torture King, who had invited Kapetanich in there was “Sadistic”, a gas station attendant and grandmother in rural Alabama there was “Bones”, a former US Air Force airman from Texas with a big collection of guns and “Champei”, who caused chaos and infighting in every group he joined. The cast of characters was a mixture of the strange and - even stranger - the seemingly normal, all known to one another by their screen names. The level of abuse on YouTube, as bad as it had been, had not prepared Kapetanich for the private world of Telegram, where monkeys were known as “tree rats” and no idea for torturing them was too extreme.Īpe’s Cage contained about 400 people. ![]() “He sayang-ed Mini and then immediately smacked her!” wrote one, screen name “Grace”. It all brought Kapetanich to tears more than once. It hurt to watch as Mini’s owner cooed an Indonesian endearment - “sayang” - to her and then smacked her in the face. Lucy Kapetanich was horrified by what she saw. “Watch them try to breathe while their idiotic brains shut down,” wrote one commenter. In some, the monkeys appeared to die on screen. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a monkey more broken.”īy that point, hundreds of different YouTube channels were posting videos of baby macaques being abused. She has lived a TERRIBLE life,” someone wrote, approvingly, under a video of Mini. “Abused multiple times a week since a baby. The monkey haters in the comments loved it. Monkey Ji was known for holding her head in her hands and rocking back and forth. Some of the monkeys had developed physical tics from the stress. There was Monkey Ji, Baby Ciko, Chiro, Sweetpea, Mona - all baby long-tailed macaques being tortured on film. Kapetanich found half a dozen other monkeys on the YouTube like Mini. Gooptar already knew who she was, he said. The monkey’s name was listed in the video titles, as though she was some sort of star. One day, Kapetanich asked Gooptar about a monkey she had seen in video after video - a baby female. For now, Kapetanich knew Gooptar only as “Yardfish” and he knew her only as “Mayhem”. When she found Gooptar’s film, she messaged him, and the pair formed a kind of alliance. Kapetanich had already started her own channel, “Mad Monkey Mayhem”, to try and draw attention to the abuse. Gooptar wound up spending four months working on a one-hour video expose, titled “The YouTube Monkey Torture Ring: Part 1”, and in August 2021 he set it live. ![]() He also sometimes watched videos of baby capuchin monkeys on a farm in South Africa, and YouTube’s algorithm went to work on him too. A freelance transcriber by day, he spent some of his free time making video horror movie reviews for his small YouTube channel, called “Yardfish”. Gooptar lived 4,000 miles away from Kapetanich, in Port of Spain on the Caribbean island of Trinidad. “All it takes is like, one click and bam, it’s all over your feed,” she said. Soon, when Kapetanich looked at YouTube at night, monkeys were everywhere. Kapetanich didn’t know it then, but as she watched, YouTube’s algorithm was at work on her, following her every click, saving her every preference, presenting her with new content it hoped she would watch next. ![]() She could watch them for hours as she drifted towards sleep. Her favourites were a chimpanzee family in a zoo in Japan. The long hours on camera were taking a toll on her, so when she clicked off the webcam at night she often opened YouTube, seeking solace in cute animal videos. Her journey had begun in the pandemic, when she was doing daily webcam shows to make ends meet. For the past six months, from her small bedroom in a rundown shared house in Los Angeles, she had been slowly uncovering a global underworld of monkey torture. Kapetanich was 55 then, a former adult dancer with big green eyes and dyed-black hair that fell in curtains around her face. “I have made a complaint before,” she wrote in the little box on the screen. She typed, “Report a crime to the FBI”, into the search bar and clicked through to the agency’s online tip form. The screen lit up her tired face in the dark. One night last May, unable to sleep, Lucy Kapetanich opened her laptop in the early hours. Warning: This article contains disturbing content

The Aura H2O has the added advantage of robust support for third-party ebook formats. It’s organized logically by section, and features curated collections (e.g., “great reads under $5”) that make narrowing down new titles easy. It boasts about five million titles, the company says - about a million short of the the Kindle store’s roughly six million. The easiest way to load books onto the Aura H2O is over Wi-Fi via Kobo’s store. By day five, the battery life had dipped to about 56 percent. We tested the Aura H2O for about a week, using it for thirty minutes to an hour each evening with the brightness set to 50 percent and Wi-Fi enabled. ![]() Kobo says it should last up to one month off a charger, which works out to about thirty minutes of reading each day (if you turn the page once per minute). One of the most appealing features of ebook readers is their fantastic battery life, and the new Aura H2O doesn’t disappoint. The original did have a MicroSD card slot, which meant you could hold even more, but it’s highly unlikely anyone would ever go above 6,000 - we’re not complaining about the omission. ![]() That translates to about 6,000 ebooks, which is more than enough for the average reader. The new Aura H2O can store twice as many books as the original, up to 8GB worth. One appreciable improvement is the internal storage. The Kobo Aura H2O is $180, and it’s disappointing to see it doesn’t have a page refresh rate more comparable to the competition. For comparison, the $80, 6-inch Kindle refreshes every five pages, and the $200 Kindle Voyage refreshes every 14 pages. In ebooks, the E Ink screen refreshed a little too frequently for our liking - about every six pages. ![]() It took up to a full second longer to load books than Amazon’s 6-inch Kindle, for example, and it sometimes stuttered in menus - especially the search screen. The resolution and pixel density is unchanged at 1,430 × 1,080 pixels and 265ppi (pixels per inch), and we found text and book covers to be sharp - sharper than the cheaper 6-inch Kindle, which has 167ppi, but not as sharp as the Kindle Oasis, which packs 300ppi (and has a higher, slightly more comparable price point).įeel free to read with the Kobo Aura H2O in the bath.ĭespite the upgrades from the original 2014 device, the Aura H2O isn’t as snappy as we hoped. We’re pleased to see the Aura H2O’s screen is just as crisp and sharp as the original. Feel free to read with the Kobo Aura H2O in the bath - something you need to be a lot more careful with when using Amazon’s Kindle ebook readers. Regardless, water resistance is always a welcome feature because it increases a device’s longevity and durability. You should note the screen does become a little unresponsive, and the device has trouble registering touches until it’s completely dry. After we thoroughly dried it off with paper towels, it was good as new the power button and the IR touchscreen worked as well as they had before, and we didn’t note any signs of damage on the charging port. We put Kobo’s waterproofing claims to the test by submerging the Aura H2O in a large bowl of water for five minutes. It’s comfortable in the palm, and exceptionally light.

This is a guest post from Feodor Georgiev. ![]() The first line would cut across the top row and extend some distance outward, until it is in line with a point in each of the three dots in the middle row. My response was based on the basis that the problem was solved on an infinite square grid, rather than a sphere. The solution of Ivan is neat, and outside the box, but. (Like design the positions of the dots as a capital Z kind of shape.) If you let this property go, then we can draw any sloppy squares, and we can find a solution very easy. Is it important to use the word 'perfect square' and use the property '12 pairs of exactly the same distance in between'? Yes! What about putting them on a sphere? Can we put 9 dots in a 'square' on the surface of a square, so you can find 12 pairs with equal distance between them? Is it still a perfect square?Īnd if we find a perfect square with the properties above, is the solution of Ivan's problem still valid? In a flat plane there are the same distance between 1 and 2, as between 5 and 8, right? It's easy to see that there are 12 pairs that have the same distance between them. or do we mean "arranged in a *perfect* 3x3 square."?

But the question was how to connect the spot wi have to keep in mind that the problem is translated in 3D.ĭoes that have any sense to you ?Curiously, you use the phrase "project your problem onto a sphere" - but the thing is, the reason your problem works is because there is no decent projection from a flat plane onto a sphere!

I got the task from my teacher in high school. ![]() They are perfectly straight, you just have to keep in mind that the problem is translated in 3D. So three lines are : north pole-south pole, south pole-north pole and again north pole-south pole.

When I presented my anwser to my teacher in high school, he told me that's wrong and other students made fun of me □ So you pick 3 evenly distant meridianes and place your dots. sphere meridianes are perfectly straight if you look at them from the right angle. I had an idea of doing it with three straight lines (i projected my problem on a sphere). But the question was how to connect the spot with 4 lines. But what about three.ĭraw nine dots so that they are arranged in a 3x3 square.Ĭan you connect all nine dots with 3 STRAIGHT lines without taking pen (or pencil or chalk or other marking-tool) from paper?

![]() Dysgerminoma was the most reported tumor (n=17) and the most common neoplastic COD (n=7). Neoplasia was the primary COD in 38 individuals. It is the largest canid of South America, being well adapted to meadows and savanna habitats. All but two tumors, a thymoma and astrocytoma (both in juveniles), were diagnosed in geriatric or adult wolves. Key words: Chrysocyon brachyurus,dairy cattle ranch, diet, maned wolf, Minas Gerais State, scat, Brazil INTRODUCTION Genus Chrysocyon consists of a sole species, Chrysocyon brachyurus Illiger, 1811. A total of 135 benign and malignant neoplasms were diagnosed in 44 individuals. Infectious COD was reported in 17 wolves and included viral (n=1), babesiosis (n=4), acanthocephalans (n=2), acariasis with anemia (n=1), and dirofilariasis (n=1) bacterial infections were a COD in eight wolves. The most common comorbidities were intestinal inflammation and urolithiasis. Cause of death in the former included enteritis (n=10) and gastric dilation/volvulus (n=7). The most common COD by organ system were digestive (n=40) and urinary (n=34) system diseases. In adults and geriatrics, neoplasia (dysgerminoma) and metabolic disease (urolithiasis) were the most common COD. Overall, noninfectious diseases were the most common COD across all age groups (n=95 55.2%). One hundred and seventy-two wolves, 83 females and 89 males, met the inclusion criteria the majority were geriatric (>11 yr n=95) or adult (2–11 yr n=67) wolves. The data were reviewed and cause of death (COD) and concurrent diseases were summarized and compared by age group, organ system and disease process. Pathology reports were requested from all zoological institutions housing maned wolves that died between January 1, 1983, and December 31, 2021. The objective of this 38-yr retrospective study was to review and summarize causes of mortality in maned wolves (Chrysocyon brachyurus) in the North American Species Survival Plan® (SSP) population to inform and enhance animal health, husbandry, and conservation efforts. |
