Austria

On 12 March, Austria was annexed to the  Third Reich  and ceased to exist as an independent country. The  Aryanisation  of the wealth of Jewish Austrians started immediately in mid-March, with a so-called "wild" (i.e. extra-legal) phase, but was soon structured legally and bureaucratically to strip Jewish citizens of any assets they possessed. The Nazis called Austria " Ostmark " [64]  until 1942, when it was again renamed and called "Alpen-Donau-Reichsgaue". Though Austrians made up only 8% of the population of the Third Reich, [69]  some of the most prominent Nazis were native Austrians, including Adolf Hitler,  Ernst Kaltenbrunner ,  Arthur Seyss-Inquart ,  Franz Stangl , and  Odilo Globocnik , [70]  as were over 13% of the  SS  and 40% of the staff at the Nazi  extermination camps . [69]  Vienna fell on 13 April 1945, during the  Soviet   Vienna Offensive , just before the total collapse of the Third Reich. The invading Allied powers, in particula

Three missions were flybys, which formed an extended foundation of knowledge about the system. The Cassini–Huygens spacecraft was launched in 1997; the Cassini spacecraft was in orbit from 2004 - 2017.[1][2] Summary of missions to the outer Solar System System Spacecraft Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto Pioneer 10 1973 flyby Pioneer 11 1974 flyby 1979 flyby Voyager 1 1979 flyby 1980 flyby Voyager 2 1979 flyby 1981 flyby 1986 flyby 1989 flyby Galileo 1995–2003 orbiter; 1995, 2003 atmospheric Ulysses 1992, 2004 gravity assist Cassini–Huygens 2000 gravity assist 2004– orbiter; 2005 Titan lander New Horizons 2007 gravity assist 2015 flyby Juno 2016– orbiter Flyb

The Flagship-class unmanned robotic spacecraft comprised both NASA's Cassini probe, and ESA's Huygens lander which would be landed on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.[7] Cassini was the fourth space probe to visit Saturn and the first to enter its orbit. The craft were named after astronomers Giovanni Cassini and Christiaan Huygens.

Snapchat

Image
Snapchat  is an  image messaging  and  multimedia   mobile application  created by  Evan Spiegel ,  Bobby Murphy , and Reggie Brown, [5]  former students at  Stanford University , and developed by  Snap Inc. , originally Snapchat Inc. One of the principal concepts of Snapchat is that pictures and messages are  only available for a short time before they become inaccessible . The  prototype  for Snapchat was started by Brown and Spiegel as a project for one of Spiegel's classes at Stanford, where Spiegel was a  product design  major. Beginning as "Picaboo", the idea was to create a  selfie  app (application) which allowed users to share images that were explicitly short-lived and self-deleting. The temporary nature of the pictures would therefore encourage  frivolity  and emphasize a more natural flow of interaction. [6]  When, in April 2011, Spiegel floated the product idea in front of his class as a final project, the classmates focused on the impermanent aspect of the
