![]() Henry Plitt of the 101st Airborne Division. Upon the Allied victory in May 1945, Streicher was arrested as “ Jew-Baiter Number One” near his home in Nuremberg by Maj. Streicher even went as far during World War II as ordering the local Nuremberg police and troops to seize all the pornography they discovered for “research” purposes, according to the popular podcast Behind the Bastards. These lurid sexual assault stories Streicher propagated were largely consumed by the young men of Germany, and, with Streicher’s prominent place within the Nazi party, Der Stürmer’s graphic cartoons and pictures became the most accessible pornography of its time.īut Streicher didn’t just produce fanciful, smutty and violent content. “The excesses which have now - too late - become notorious, even among the most indifferent, and which have their origination in sexual aberrations skillfully enhanced and implanted over two decades, must be regarded as Streicher’s main contribution to the cause of Nazism,” Eisen continued. “Its pages abounded with tales of rape by non-Aryans - often negroes - of fair German virgins, described with all the details of smut and bawdry which a lecherous mind can invent,” Eisen wrote in the Australian magazine The Pertinent. In a July 1946 article titled “ Portrait of a Pervert,” author Herbert Eisen detailed the lascivious mind of Streicher. Bulmash, whose family collection of Holocaust-related propaganda is accessible via Kenyon College. “These grotesque, often pornographic cartoons of Jewish stereotypes,” which were drawn by Philipp Rupprecht, “accompanied the propaganda Streicher disseminated, saturating the consciousness of Germans during the Third Reich and contribut to the capacity of many Germans to accept the Nazi program,” according to Michael D. Week after week, month after month, for nearly 22 years, Streicher tied together accusations of blood libel with pornography, which has come to be considered the very nadir of Nazi anti-Semitic propaganda. In 1923, Streicher’s passion for propaganda coalesced with his lecherous mind when he launched Der Stürmer, a virulent anti-Semitic newspaper that featured crude, graphic anti-Jewish cartoons, photographs and articles. Three years later, Streicher persuaded his followers to merge with the National Socialist German Workers’ Party - the Nazi party under Hitler’s command.Ĭonsidered among the “old guard” in the party, it was Streicher’s oratory skills, much like the Nazi leader, that drew the attention of his comrades. The school teacher-turned-soldier fought in the First World War and in 1919 helped launch the Nuremberg wing of the Deutschsozialistische Partei - or, German Socialist Party - which “espoused right-wing ultra-nationalist, anti-Catholic and antisemitic principles,” according to the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum. 12, 1885, in the Bavarian town of Fleinhausen, Streicher was once considered a rising star on the radical right. Wistrich, Who's Who in Nazi Germany, Psychology Press, 2002, p.250.Inside the Infamous Porn Obsession of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Protégé CloseĪs Nazis infamously looted art, jewelry and other valuables from the many cities and towns of Europe during the Second World War, Adolf Hitler’s protégé Julius Streicher had other, more debased collectibles on his mind: pornography.īorn on Feb. His last words before he was executed on October, 16, 1946, were, "Heil Hitler." Julius Streicher was found guilty of crimes against humanity at the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial. However he remained on good terms with Adolf Hitler. In 1940 he was deprived of all party offices after printing untrue stories about Hermann Goering. Despite this his newspaper and his speaking tours made him one of the best known leaders in Nazi Germany. Streicher had a low IQ (102) and was considered by many observers to be insane. He claimed that Jews were white-slavers and were responsible for over 90 per cent of the prostitutes in the country. In the newspaper Streicher argued that the Jews were responsible for the depression, unemployment and inflation in Germany. Eventually the newspaper reached a circulation of 800,000. In 1923, Streicher founded and edited the racist newspapers, Der Stuermer (1923-45) which he used to build up a deep hatred of the Jewish race. In 1919, Streicher co-founded the anti-Semitic organization Deutsch-Soziale Partei and two years later joined the the National Socialist German Workers Party (NSDAP). ![]() Streicher won the Iron Cross and reached the rank of lieutenant by the time the Armistice was signed in 1918. He worked as an elementary school teacher until joining the German Army in 1914. Streicher was born in Fleinhausen, Germany on Februand was the son of a teacher. ![]() Julius Streicher was a prominent member of the Nazi Party.

It’s satisfying on its own or paired with other Italian-inspired dishes. We hope you LOVE this vegan bolognese! It’s: While the sauce is cooking, there’s time to cook the pasta and get the garlic bread in the oven, friends! Lastly, a touch of fresh basil, and it’s done. Then the sauce cooks to meld the flavors for a comforting and rich result. Then the other party-goers arrive, including salt, tomato paste, red pepper flakes (optional), crushed tomatoes, lentils, and water. While the veggies sauté, the mushrooms take a turn in the food processor before joining the party. Since we want a saucy sauce, blitzing them in the food processor saves time on chopping and creates a beautiful, fine texture. ![]() Similar to traditional bolognese, this recipe starts with a soffrito-inspired base of carrots, onions, and garlic. The following vegan version uses mushrooms and lentils for a similar texture and super-savory flavor! How to Make Vegan Bolognese The sauce is often served on top of pasta or as a component in lasagna and is made by cooking meat with soffrito (onions, celery, and carrots) and tomatoes to create a thick sauce. Let us show you how it’s done! What is Bolognese?īolognese is an Italian sauce, typically made with meat, that gets its name from the Italian city of Bologna. It’s an ideal way to warm up on a chilly night and incorporate nutrients into your everyday sauce in a flavorful way. Then, add all remaining ingredients and continue on as instructed.The perfect pasta for your cozy weeknight in? It’s here! This 10-ingredient vegan bolognese is comforting, easy to make, and packed with hearty mushrooms and protein-rich red lentils. I think what I will try next time is using say, 1/2 cup of the coconut milk and using a blender pulverize the fresh raspberries with the coconut milk and then pouring the mixture through a strainer back into the blender. Whenever I take a taste sometimes I end up with a mouthful of raspberry seeds. The annoying raspberry seeds…how to eliminate? The recipe did not indicate straining the seeds and I thought that by blending it, it would pulverize them but alas, it did not. ![]() Maybe my mango was sweet, I dunno, but this batch was a tad too sweet for my tastes. It’s a good thing I did because I feel that I could easily have started out using 1/4 cup and adding more to taste. I started out by using only 1/2 cup of organic cane sugar. However, I’d like to offer a few modifications. I made this dreamy dessert over the weekend, I have to say true to Dana’s amazing ability in the kitchen, I really enjoyed it. However, that would make this recipe not vegan-friendly, so test and substitute as your dietary needs and preferences allow. The only alternative sweetener I would suggest would be substituting honey for up to half of the sugar, since it’s minimally processed, floral, and has a natural thick/creamy texture. Obviously, cane sugar is more “processed” that maple syrup or coconut sugar, but I would highly recommend sticking to the recipe as written. (Try asking a Whole Foods employee if they have corn syrup and see how many appalled looks you get.) So I went with cane sugar and must say the results were phenomenal. I was a little weary to try corn syrup since it’s not a common ingredient, nor does it have the best reputation. And as far as I understand it, the two best sweeteners for sorbet (and sherbet) are: 1. I did a lot of research on the sorbet (primarily over at Serious Eats – a fantastic site for new and curious cooks) prior to this recipe. You need it to create the right texture and sweetness without introducing unwanted flavors (like maple syrup would). ![]() Not everyone will be on board with using straight up cane sugar (I was hesitant myself) as this recipe requires, but that’s kind of the science of sorbet. It does require an ice cream churner, but the base is so thick and creamy that I think you could get away with just freezing the base and stirring/whisking every hour to achieve a light texture. ![]() This recipe is simple, requiring simple methods and just 6 ingredients. ![]() That may not seem like a lot in the day and age we live in now, but it is, especially when you look at the competition, like the John Deere Gator 825i, which has a similar top speed. When you want to go faster, the Sidekick will reach speeds up to 40mph. What Kubota was shooting for was a gas engine that pumps out the torque of a diesel at slower speeds, but had the upper end to handle a quicker ride. What’s more impressive is the torque the motor produces, with a greater emphasis on the lower-end power of the curve. The Sidekick runs on an 851cc liquid-cooled, DOHC twin-cylinder engine that produces 48 horsepower at 5,750rpm. So it is very intriguing that Kubota released a new machine with a gas engine. A diesel engine has a ton of torque and can run forever. Their previous UTVs seem to have more in common with tractors than other UTVs out there. Kubota machines have always had the reputation of being diesel-powered, slower and rugged. Kubota knows that this is their wheelhouse and they don’t stray, at least not yet. Some people like to go fast, but everyone has a job to do. While the sport machines get the press and the sometimes heated discussions on the internet, or around the campfire, if you go to the dealerships and ask what machines they need to have on the sales floor, you’re going to hear the word “utility” a lot. Every aspect of the machine is designed for getting the job done. Like all the other Kubota UTVs out on the market, the Sidekick is a work machine. So when Kubota announced an all-new machine in the RTV-XG850 Sidekick, we took notice.īefore we get rolling along here, you need to know something about this new machine. The company’s UTVs are familiar sights at farms, work sites and municipalities. They produce some of the hardest working UTVs out there as well. ![]() They are one of the largest manufacturers of smaller tractors in the world. If you think about the Kubota brand, many will think first about tractors and with good reason. ![]() The fabric will also enable connections between remote GPUs and NPUs, both of which slot nicely into Nvidia's oft-stated broader vision of data center architectures.ĪRM hasn't provided firm projections for multi-threaded performance yet, but the first slide above shows how the family lines up when performance in integer workloads is plotted against performance-per-thread (remember, each core is single-threaded) and performance per socket. This will also expand to chip-to-chip coupling in the future, allowing the company to tie together accelerators (Nvidia graphics or DPU chiplets?) and memory into a single package.ĪRM will turn to CXL, an Intel-spurred open-source initiative that has garnered wide spread industry adoption, for tying together coherent pools of memory across nodes, or intra-node persistent memory pools. However, the company is investing in the CCIX interface for bi-directional coherent communication between sockets and in-package chiplets, with the latter looking somewhat like AMD's Rome design. ARM Neoverse N2 Platformīoth Intel and AMD are working furiously on next-gen interconnects and chiplet-based designs, but ARM is also developing its own approach to future chip design.ĪRM painted its interconnect roadmap in broad strokes, but the company has already created a chip-level fabric that it says allows for linear core-count scaling in the N1 platform. ARM's adoption of more diverse data types also isn't a problem with older code - SVE seamlessly transitions between different vector widths. That said, ARM anticipates most of its customers to design for air cooling due to the high cost associated with liquid cooling.ĪRM calls out Fujitsu as a good example of this type of tuning - the AF64X chips that power the world's fastest supercomputer, Fugaku, operate at their full frequency while executing SVE code. ![]() Now architects can tune their chips for the expected amount of cooling, with water-cooled designs being able to unlock the heights of SVE performance (~500W). This will allow designers to avoid clock frequency reductions during vectorized workloads, unlike what we see with the various flavors of AVX on Intel platforms. ![]() ARM charted out impressive gains relative to N1 in the slide above.ĪRM also says that V1 allows licensees to have full control over SVE frequency and power targets. V1 also marks the first SVE implementation, which supports variable vector widths, like 2x256b and bFloat16. These chips will top out at 96 single-threaded cores and support HBM2e. Given possible increases in frequency due to process nodes and TDP limits, we could see even larger gains (+50%) when we zoom out to per-core performance in the final designs. ![]() This exceeds the 30% target that ARM defined several years ago, and comes as the result of architectural optimizations like larger buffers, caches, windows and queues. ARM Neoverse V1 PlatformĪRM hasn't shared specific microarchitectural details yet, but predicts that V1 enables a massive 50% IPC (labeled as sT in the slides) uplift over the N1 platform. In terms of coherent interconnects, V1 supports CCIX 1.1, while N2 steps forward to CCIX 2.0 and CXL 2.0. These chips will also adopt future tech, like PCIe 6.0, and as-yet-undefined new versions of the CCIX and CXL interfaces.Ĭhips based on "Zeus" V1 and N2 "Perseus" designs could come in either 7nm or 5nm flavors, support PCIe 5.0, DDR5, and either HBM2e or HBM3. ARM also teased enhanced performance in vectorized/machine learning workloads. The company predicts a continued cadence of 30% IPC gains, and these designs will be based on either 5nm or 3nm process nodes to enable higher core counts. V-Series: Optimize for maximum performance, at the cost of power and areaĪRM's three-prong approach targets scale-out (N-Series), edge-type devices (E-Series), and scale-out high performance compute, high-performance cloud, and machine learning (V-Series).ĪRM also teased its next-gen Poseidon platforms that will come in 2022 and beyond.E-Series: Optimized for power and area - efficiency-focused at the cost of performance.N-Series: Optimized for performance-per-power (watt) and performance-per-area.As such, each of ARM's three platforms is tuned for specific objectives: Like most semiconductor vendors, ARM designs its chips to meet specific power, performance and area targets (PPA), with adjustments on these axes defining the end solution. ![]() ![]() Information in this article is only indicative.
