She has many jobs that she juggles between stealing my hair ties and spilling her kibble in addition to serving as the Mayor of Fluffingsville, she runs a network of freelancers as Editor in Chief of Catmodo. Since both of us are busy most of the day at our respective places of work, we forget to check in on each other. Thankfully, Petcubes newest gadget, Petcube Bites, lets humans check in on their furry companions when theyre apart. It also lets us fling treats at them on command which is both heartwarming and mildly horrifying. What is it A super smart pet camera that doubles as a treat dispenser. No Like. It traumatized my cat. The Petcube Bites looks like a shrunken down, shinier version of the monolith from 2. A Space Odyssey, the main difference being that the aforementioned totem did not hold up to two pounds of treats. Youll have to load up the device with your pets favorite snacks in order for the magic to happenPetcube recommends treats about an inch big. Since Artemis is but a wee kitty, her treats were a little smaller than the recommended size, which proved to be mostly okay. There was also an unusual aspect to the setup, wherein the Petcube mysteriously didnt work for three days. One day it randomly started workingbut I attribute that to my shitty Wi Fi more than to the Petcube. If you too have crummy Wi Fi maybe invest in a new router before investing in a treat dispensing pet camera. After downloading the Petcube app, you can link your phone up to the monolith, accessing the devices camera. The Petcube senses motion in front of it, which lets you see what your animals up to but also takes weird videos of your feet if you step in front of it. Seeing your cat or doggos adoring face through the app is definitely heartwarming, but fair warning watch your goddamn feet so weird photos dont end up on some dark corner of the internet. Not that Petcube is going to sell pictures of your feet or anything the images are in the app on your phone, but you can never be too careful these days. While the app saves your videos automatically, the quality isnt great. Dont expect Nat Geo worthy screenshots. In truth, Petcubes app isnt bad, but its also not great. There are some issues with scrolling, making it difficult to see the most recent video of your floof. But the app does let you select the distance at which you can fling the treats, which extends up to six feet in range. After loading the treats into the Petcube, my boyfriend and I selected a short range toss for the treats, which makes sense because I live in a small apartment in New York City. Just load the treats, they said. Itll be fun, they said. But oh, dear reader, how wrong I was. The Petcube shot out Artemis treats precariously and with abandon, like a frat boy throwing his drink at a guy who wore the same Vineyard Vines zip up as him. The whole thing was like a cannon of delicious nightmaresneedless to say, my cat was horrified. Make no mistake, she still ate the treatsbut after the incident, she pretty much veered away from the machine. I was able to catch it all on video but filmed it vertically like a jabroni. Im sorry. Overall, Petcube Bites is fine. Despite bad camera quality and an okay app it does what its supposed to do and its kind of cute. Im not sure Id pay 2. Sunday. Artemis couldnt be reached for comment on the ordeal. READMEPetcube Bites is good if you live in a place bigger than mine, which is approximately the size of a hermit crabs shell. Your pet may or may not appreciate it as much as you do. Your pet may never forgive you for this indignation. The Holocaust Wikipedia. The Holocaust, also referred to as the Shoah,b was a genocide during World War II in which Adolf Hitlers Nazi Germany, aided by its collaborators, systematically murdered some six million European Jews, around two thirds of the Jewish community in Europe. From 1. Germany targeted European Jewry for extermination as part of a larger event that included the persecution and murder of other groups. A broader definition of the Holocaust includes the murder of the Roma and the incurably sick. A broader definition still includes ethnic Poles, other Slavic groups, Soviet citizens and prisoners of war, homosexuals, Jehovahs Witnesses, black people, and political opponents. Under the coordination of the SS, with directions from the highest leadership of the Nazi Party, killings were committed throughout German occupied Europe, as well as within Germany itself, and across all territories controlled by the Axis powers. Germany implemented the persecution in stages. Following Hitlers rise to power in 1. Jews from civil society, most prominently the Nuremberg Laws in 1. Starting in 1. 93. Nazis built a network of concentration camps in Germany for political opponents and people deemed undesirable. After the invasion of Poland in 1. Jews. Over 4. 2,0. The deportation of Jews to the ghettos culminated in the policy of extermination the Nazis called the Final Solution to the Jewish Question. In 1. 94. 1, as German forces captured territories in the East, all anti Jewish measures were radicalized. Paramilitary units called Einsatzgruppen murdered around two million Jews in mass shootings in less than a year. By mid 1. 94. 2, victims were being deported from the ghettos in sealed freight trains to extermination camps where, if they survived the journey, they were killed in gas chambers. The killing continued until the end of World War II in Europe in AprilMay 1. Terminology. The term holocaust comes from the Greekholkaustos hlos, whole and kausts, burnt offering, a sacrifice or offering entirely consumed by fire. Later it came to denote large scale destruction or slaughter. The biblical term shoah also transliterated shoah and shoa, meaning destruction, became the standard Hebrew term, first used in a pamphlet in 1. European Jews. 1. The term Holocaust was used by historians in the 1. Shoah, and in 1. 96. Library of Congress created a new category, Holocaust, Jewish 1. The NBC television mini series Holocaust 1. United States. As accounts of the Holocaust expanded to include non Jewish victims, Shoah retained its meaning as the Nazi genocide of the Jews. The Nazis used the phrase Final Solution to the Jewish Question die Endlsung der Judenfrage. In Teaching the Holocaust 2. Michael Gray offers three definitions of the Holocaust. The first refers to the persecution and murder of Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1. Kristallnacht in Germany in 1. Holocaust. The second focuses on the systematic mass murder of Jews by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1. German policy in 1. Jewish people. The third and broadest definition embraces the persecution and murder of several groups by the Nazis and their collaborators between 1. Nazis victims, but it fails, Gray writes, to acknowledge that only the Jewish people were singled out for annihilation. Donald Niewyk and Francis Nicosia, in The Columbia Guide to the Holocaust 2. Jews, Roma, and Aktion T4 victims the systematic, state sponsored murder of entire groups determined by heredity. This applied to Jews, Gypsies, and the handicapped. Distinctive features. Genocidal state. The logistics of the mass murder turned the country into what Michael Berenbaum called a genocidal state. Bureaucrats were involved in identifying who was a Jew, confiscating property, and scheduling trains that deported Jews. Companies fired Jewish employees and later employed Jews as slave labour. Universities dismissed Jewish students and faculty. German pharmaceutical companies tested drugs on camp prisoners other companies built the crematoria. As prisoners entered the death camps, they were ordered to surrender all personal property, which was catalogued and tagged before it was sent to Germany to be reused or recycled. Through a concealed account, the German National Bank helped launder valuables stolen from the victims. The industrialization of murder was unprecedented. Victims were transported in sealed freight trains from all over Europe to extermination camps equipped with gas chambers. These stationary facilities grew out of Nazi experiments with poison gas during the Aktion T4 euthanasia programme against the disabled and mentally ill, which began in 1. The Germans set up six extermination camps in occupied Poland Auschwitz Birkenau established October 1. Majdanek October 1. Chemno December 1. Operation Reinhard camps at Belzec, Sobibor, and Treblinka. Saul Friedlnder writes Not one social group, not one religious community, not one scholarly institution or professional association in Germany and throughout Europe declared its solidarity with the Jews. Some Christian churches declared that converted Jews should be regarded as part of the flock, but even then only up to a point. He argues that this makes the Holocaust distinctive because antisemitic policies were able to unfold to their most extreme levels without the interference of any major countervailing interests. Ideology and scale. Yehuda Bauer argued in 2. Holocaust was purely ideological, rooted in an illusionary world of Nazi imagination, where an international Jewish conspiracy to control the world was opposed to a parallel Aryan quest. No genocide to date had been based so completely on myths, on hallucinations, on abstract, nonpragmatic ideologywhich was then executed by very rational, pragmatic means. Vlkisch mysticism, pseudoscience and ethnonationalism were combined, writes David Bloxham, in a terrifying agenda for unmixing the peoples under German dominion and breeding a race worthy of European mastery. While groups such as the Roma and disabled were viewed as inferior and targeted by Nazi euthanasia and sterilization policies, the Nazis saw the Jews as an anti race, writes Bloxham, a parasitical, polluting people. The Lazarus Project Brian Tyler Rapidshare Library here. Eberhard Jckel writes that it was the first time a state had thrown its power behind the idea that an entire people should be wiped out. Anyone with three or four Jewish grandparents was to be exterminated, and complex rules were devised to deal with Mischlinge half and quarter Jews, or mixed breeds. The killings were systematically conducted in virtually all areas of German occupied territory in more than 2. Close to 3 million Jews in occupied Poland and between 7. Jews in the Soviet Union were killed. Hundreds of thousands more Jews died in the rest of German occupied Europe. Discussions at the Wannsee Conference make it clear that the German final solution of the Jewish question included Britain and all the neutral states in Europe, such as Ireland, Switzerland, Turkey, Sweden, Portugal, and Spain. Over 2. 00,0. 00 people are estimated to have been Holocaust perpetrators. Without the help of local collaborators, the Germans would not have been able to extend the Holocaust across most of Europe. Medical experiments. The 2. 3 defendants during the Doctors trial, Nuremberg, 9 December 1. August 1. 94. 7The SSs medical experiments on camp inmates were another distinctive feature. Twenty three senior physicians and other medical personnel were charged at Nuremberg, after the war, with crimes against humanity. They included the head of the German Red Cross, tenured professors, clinic directors, and biomedical researchers. The most notorious physician was Josef Mengele, an SS officer who became the Auschwitz camp doctor on 3.
