Chiara Cordelli is an associate professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Chicago. Her work focuses on the application of Kantian theory to the issues of philanthropy, privatization, and state legitimacy. Her first book, The Privatized State (2020), won the inaugural European Consortium for Political Research Political Theory Prize for best first English-language book of Political Theory. Ideas Following Kant, Cordelli makes the argument that privatizing state services effectively marks a return to the "state of nature" wherein private interests are represented rather than the "omnilateral will." She argues that this "pre-civil" state of privatization lacks popular representation and loses its democratic legitimacy as a result. Reception In his two-bool review of The Privatized State and Hélène Landemore's Open Democracy, law professor Christopher Kutz praised Cordelli's book for its "profound critique" of the "neoliberal trend" of privatization, but suggested that Cordelli may place too much faith in public bureaucrats. Likewise, philisophy professor Lisa Herzog admired the books's "brilliant discussion" of dignity and legitimacy, but had reservations about how the model was silent on what Herzog sees as "overdetermined" wrongs of privitization, as well as questions about how strongly the boundaries of Cordelli's argument hold up to scrutiny.

Hogue then bought a house in the affluent Coquitlam district. In 1964-5 they committed two unsuccessful robberies. At that time, suspicions arose that police officers may be involved in the robbery. On February 11, 1965, Hogue and three other police officers robbed a train carrying banknotes for destruction. They stole $ 1.2 million. But all the bills were drilled with three half-inch holes. One of the robbers restored some of the bills. On April 17, 1965, two robbers were arrested after a bartender called police after they paid with suspicious bills.

Sabriya is an Uzbek TV-series that was premiered on 30 November 2021 on SevimliTV. Plot 16-year-old girl named Sabriya is blamed for the relationship she has with the guy she loves. Her father has no other choice than giving her as a second wife to 60-year-old man after a shameful action of Sabriya and her loved one. The drama tries to show some problems of community through the destiny of Sabriya and her family. Actors and characters General view Episodes Critics' review Saida Mirizyoyeva, Deputy Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees of the Public Foundation for Support and Development of National Mass media, Member of the Commission on Ensuring Gender Equality of the Republic of Uzbekistan:"I will use my viewer's right to express my attitude towards the drama Sabriya. I'm sure there isn't a single woman among the creators of the drama. Because I've never seen so much hate for women in a script in any movie. It is not clear why the plot contains complete and correct instructions for taking drugs? In this case, no consequencs are presented. The most unpleasant and disgusting are the scenes of violence against women; and as the only way out of the situation - to commit suicide. "Excellent" recommendation! Feature films are one of the ways to shape the modern agenda in society. We are making incredible efforts to ensure that gender equality and respect for women will become the norm in our society. Each of us, the owner of the audience, has a great responsibility for this word. However, such serials hinder the development of gender equality. There are no solid thoughts in them, only painful fantasies about the life of Uzbekistan. Our women do not deserve such an attitude from the cinema. Neither private nor general!"Amira Rashidova, one of the producers of Sevimli TV:“Only one trailer was distributed. In a joint trailer, a drug addict tries to inflict violence on a woman. In this trailer, the director filmed the episode without blood, body exposure, and physical violence. No explicit violence or vulgar scenes are shown. According to the scenario, the criminal in the same episode receives punishment for his actions. We don't live in a time where we can't show bad people, they are still exist. Many scenes of the series are taken from real life. I am against all forms of violence against women. SevimliTV marks the series as "+16" and It is enough to watch 3 more minutes to understand the end of the movie before the accusations of "immorality". This series is the first work of the director Nasiba Tursunova. Like many filmmakers, SevimliTV supported her and expressed its confidence. We are considering collaborating with her in the future, I am against offending the artist..."Firdavs Abdukhalikov, General Director of Uzbekistan Cinematography Agency:"Sabriya series, which has been broadcast on SevimliTV channel, is really not very artistic and content.

The Green Planet is a 2022 nature documentary series on plants and their relationship with animals, humans and the environment. It was produced by BBC Studios Natural History Unit and narrated and presented by David Attenborough. Original music was composed by Benji Merrison and Will Slater. The series first aired on BBC One on 9 January 2022, and consisted of 5 episodes. It was subsequently made available on demand on BBC iPlayer and was aired internationally on other networks. The Green Planet was a ratings success in the United Kingdom, with its first episode drawing 5.4 million viewers. It also received positive reviews from critics, who noted its production quality, storytelling, and environmentalist themes. Episodes The series consists of five episodes, each based on a different theme and environment. Each episode ends with a segment on the methods and equipment used to capture the episode. Production In January, the upcoming release of The Green Planet, a five-part documentary about the biodiversity of plant life narrated by David Attenborough was announced. The series was a collaboration between PBS and BBC Studios Natural History Unit. It was co-produced by Open University, bilibili, ZDF, France Télévisions and NHK. The series was considered to be a "passion project" for Attenborough. In an interview with The Irish News, Attenborough said that "The world is green – it's an apt name [for the series], the world is green. And yet people's understanding about plants, except in a very kind of narrow way, has not kept up with that. I think this will bring it home." Filming began in early 2019 and took over three years to complete. Filming took place in 27 countries, including Japan, Croatia, Costa Rica, and the United States. The series, which was presented from a "plant's eye view", was filmed using time-lapse photography, to show the slow progress of plant movements. One cactus was filmed continuously in time-lapse for three years, making it the longest time-lapse study undertaken by the BBC. A number of technologies, including drone-mounted cameras and motion-control robotics were used to capture the slow movements, defense mechanisms and growth of plants. Two FPV racing drone pilots were hired to film parts of the series, as drones were faster and more eco-friendly than filming from helicopters. Creative director Mike Gunton explained that the racing drone pilots had "[the] dexterous skill to be able to operate those drones in the most incredibly micro-detailed way." Specialized camera rigs called "Triffids" were developed for the series. The "Triffids" were created by former military engineer Chris Field, who developed them to capture plant movements in the wild. Field had been inspired to develop timelapse camera technology by watching the BBC documentary Planet Earth. Field also developed robotic rigs which could move freely around a plant while capturing it in timelapse. Producer Paul Williams discovered Fields' camera work by seeing a timelapse of Venus flytraps he had made that was linked on Kickstarter. Based on that video, Williams hired him to develop new technologies for The Green Planet. Williams stated that the name of the rigs came from John Wyndham's 1951 science fiction novel The Day of the Triffids, about a species of mobile, carnivorous plants. It was the first documentary on plant life Attenborough had created since The Private Life of Plants in 1995. In the third episode of Green Planet, Attenborough revisited a creosote bush (larrea tridentata)in the Sonoran Desert of Arizona which had previously been featured in The Living Planet, a series which he filmed in 1982. The bush had grown only a quarter of an inch in the intervening forty years. Original music was composed by Benji Merrison and Will Slater. Premiere The series premiered at the IMAX Theatre in Glasgow, Scotland on October 31, 2021. The premiere took place during the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference. English actress Maisie Williams delivered a speech introducing the first episode. Attenborough also spoke at the summit, and received a standing ovation. Broadcast British television The series was first broadcast on January 9, 2022 on BBC One. Subsequent episodes were aired weekly on the channel. Episodes were also made available via the video on demand service BBC iPlayer after each broadcast. International In 2021, BBC Studios pre-sold the series to a large number of overseas networks, including Nine Network in Australia, TVNZ in New Zealand, Radio Canada, DR in Denmark, ERR in Estonia, LTV in Latvia, LRT in Lithuania, Movistar Plus+ in Spain, NRK in Norway, Friday! in Russia, and RTVS in Slovakia. It was presold to BBC Earth in Africa, Asia, Poland, MENA, Turkey, Canada and the Nordic countries. On January 18, 2022, it was announced that the series would be broadcast weekly in the United States on PBS, from July 6, 2022 to August 3, 2022. Reception Critical reception The series received widespread critical praise for its cinematography, technological advances, narration, presentation, storytelling and environmental message. On Rotten Tomatoes, the series has an approval rating of 100% based on 5 reviews. Harry Cockburn of The Independent praised the show for bringing "an incredible level of drama, insight and imaginative presentation" to its subject matter. Carol Midgley of The Times also gave the series five stars, saying that the series at times felt "like a horror flick" and at other times was "almost a plant porno." Anita Singh, in a review for The Telegraph, also compared some of the show's imagery to that of horror films, and gave the series four out of five stars. It received five star reviews in the Financial Times and The Guardian. Natalie Bennett, writing for The House, praised the series overall, but criticized it for relying on nature documentary tropes of conflict and struggle, and not also portraying examples of interspecies cooperation. The series was also praised for raising awareness of environmental issues and climate change. Critics commented on the environmental message of the series, which encouraged the conservation and appreciation of plant life. Steve Clarke, writing for Variety, considered it to be an example of "a new willingness from TV types to put uncomfortable truths regarding environmental damage alongside feel-good shots of beautiful beasts and pristine landscapes." An editorial piece in The Guardian described the series as "[taking] aim at plant blindness" by demonstrating the importance of plant life. Audience response The first episode of the series received an average of 4.5 million viewers in the UK, peaking at 5.4 million. Related exhibitions and initiatives BBC Studios created the Green Planet AR Experience, inspired by the series, with funding from the British government's 5G Create competition. The month-long augmented reality installation opened at Piccadilly Circus on February 11, and is scheduled to remain open until March 9, 2022.

Christ Blessing the Children is a painting by the Italian artist Artemisia Gentileschi, depicting an episode from the New Testament. It hangs in the church of S. Carlo al Corso in Rome. Description The work's alternative title, "Suffer the little children to come unto me" is based on a passage from the gospel of Matthew in which Jesus was instructing his disciples through the example of children. The painting is part of the artist's body of religious work, which is less well-known than her depictions of strong women. Provenance The painting's first home was the collection of Fernando Enriquez Afan de Ribera, the 3rd Duke of Alcalá, from 1626 to 1637. He purchased the painting in Rome while he was ambassador to the Holy See during 1625–1626. In 1626, he became viceroy of Naples, and then later returned to Seville in 1631. The work was intended for the charterhouse at Santa Maria della Cueves, which contained his family's chapel. It was later in the collection of the Duke of Sutherland at Stafford House, before being sold on to a collector in New York. The painting was first recognised as a Gentileschi based on a view of a black and white photograph in 2001, but the whereabouts were unknown; it had previously belonged to The Metropolitan Museum of Art, but had been deaccessioned in 1979 as a work of Carlo Rosa. In 2012, art historian Gianni Papi rediscovered the work in a church in Rome, but has yet to determine how it came to be there.

Spiros Kagiales or Kagialedakis (; 1872–1929) was a Greek revolutionary from Crete and a soldier of the Hellenic Army who participated in the Cretan Revolts of 1895-1898 and the Balkan Wars. Biography He was born in 1872 in Crete, then part of the Ottoman Empire, into the well-known Kagiales family. His mother Maria Ornerakis, was from Sfakia while his father, Dimitrios's family came from Gramvousa. The men of the family took part in the various struggles of their time for the freedom of Crete and the its union with Greece. From the beginning of the Cretan Revolt of 1897, Spyros Kagiales operated in Akrotiri together with his brothers Georgios, Manolis, Antonios and Sifis. He became famous for the bravery he showed while barrickaded with other fighters at the church of the St. Elias on 9 February 1897. While under bombardment from the International Squadron, a shell shattered the mast of the Greek flag. Kagiales recovered the flag and, despite the bombardment, made his own body the pole. His actions gained the admiration of the Great Powers' fleet, resulting in the admirals ordering a ceasefire. The Italian commander of the fleet, Vice Admiral Felice Canevaro, wrote in his memoirs: "Raising the flag in such a heroic way was a moment in my life that I will never forget." This event was a great diplomatic victory for the Greeks and played a major role in achieving autonomy for Crete a few months later, due to the submission of the admirals testimonies. He later took part in the Battle of Driskos during the First Balkan War, where he was again distinguished for his bravery and was honoured with the awarding of special medals and diplomas. His only son, Georgios, also fought in the Balkan Wars and distinguished himself on the battlefields of Macedonia, where he was killed. The loss of his son marked the rest of his life with grief. His wife, Maria Kapnisaki, was from Kontopoula of Keramia. They also had a daughter, Irini. He died in Halepa on 5 September 1929 and is buried in the family grave in the cemetery of Agia Fotini church. Legacy A statue of him was unveiled on 21 July 1997 at the site of the bombardment in Akrotiri. The municipality of Akrotiri annually celebrates the anniversary of the bombardment of 9 February 1897 and lays wreaths at his statue.

The African American Cultural Heritage Action Fund is a program formed in 2017 to aid stewards of Black cultural sites throughout the nation in preserving both physical landmarks, their material collections and associated narratives. It was organized under the auspices of the National Trust for Historic Preservation. The initiative which awards grants to select applicants and advocates of Black history has been led by architectural historian Brent Leggs since 2019. It is the largest program in America to preserve places associated with Black history. History The program was conceived as a means towards creating greater resilience and capacity for sensitive and threatened places that tell the stories of the African diaspora. Support from the fund has aided the stabilization and restoration of numerous structures and properties from churches to cemeteries, from the Harriet Tubman Home in Auburn, New York to the Cleveland Public Theater in Ohio. The Fund has an advisory council which includes Ford Foundation president Darren Walker, literary critic and author Henry Louis Gates Jr., educator and historian Lonnie Bunch and actress Phylicia Rashad to name a few. Donors to the Fund have included philanthropist MacKenzie Scott who made a $20 million gift in 2021. As of February 2022, the fund has raised $70 million. Since it was started, it has given grants to more than 200 preservation projects in overlooked communities. Simultaneously to fixing dilapidated or threatened bricks and mortar projects, the goal of the fund is also to effect social change in neglected neighborhoods. The award of monies for the reuse and revitalization of culturally meaningful structures and landscapes results in a positive benefit for marginalized residents. Restoration of the home of blues artist Muddy Waters for example is less about just repairing a house - it is also about creating a venue for other musicians to be inspired and perhaps record their own music. Preserving Black Churches Project According to Leggs, its executive director, the fund next plans to partner with Black churches as part of an investment in revitalizing community religious centers. A donation of $20 million to the Preserving Black Churches Project was announced on Martin Luther King Day in January 2022. The gift was made by the Lilly Endowment, one of the largest endowments in the United States. Grantees In 2018, $1 million was awarded to 16 projects.

The trial of Neumann and Sass (; ), sometimes nicknamed the Little Nuremberg trial, was the first mass trial of the Nazis in Europe for their crimes committed in the Klaipėda Region. During the trial the leaders of the Nazi parties of the region , , and their accomplices were convicted. The trial with 69 hearings was held as a partly public trial (upon invitation), despite requests from Nazi Germany and urging from the states of the Triple Entente to organize a secret trial, at the Palace of Justice and the Parliament in Kaunas, Lithuania in 1935. The process drew attention across Europe and was attended by many international journalists. The convicted Nazis were sentenced to capital punishment or imprisonment in a heavy labor prison by the Court of the Lithuanian Armed Forces. Following an appeal, the Supreme Tribunal of Lithuania left the previous court decision unchanged. Facing foreign pressure, Lithuania later amnestied all the convicts before they fully completed their sentences and none of the executions were carried out. Background The Klaipėda Region was detached from East Prussia, German Empire by the Treaty of Versailles in 1919, becoming a mandate of the League of Nations under provisional French administration until a more permanent solution could be worked out. Lithuania acquired the region following the Klaipėda Revolt of 10–15 January 1923, which was mainly carried out by soldiers and volunteers from Lithuania. According to the Lithuanian intelligence, about 60% of the region's population supported an uprising, about 30% were neutral, and only about 10% supported a free state. The Klaipėda Region consisted of four administrative territorial units: city of Klaipėda and counties of Klaipėda, Šilutė, and Pagėgiai (about 5% of the territory of Lithuania). A Lithuanian census carried out in the region in 1925 found its total population was 141,000. Declared language was used to classify the inhabitants, and on this basis 43.5 percent were German, 27.6 percent were Lithuanian, and 25.2 percent were "Klaipėdan" (Memelländisch). Lithuanian and German authors argued about whether the Klaipėdians (Memellanders) were Lithuanian or German, while the Lithuanian government believed they were Germanized Lithuanians. However, by tradition, the population of the region supported the German side rather than the Lithuanian. German politicians promoted a Memellander ideology, arguing that germans and local Lithuanians were "two Ethnicities (Volkstümer), Yet One Cultural Community (Kulturgemeinschaft)". In 1924 the Klaipėda Convention between Lithuania, and Great Britain, France, Italy and Japan was signed, guaranteeing the autonomy of the region within Lithuania. The convention also granted the right for the residents of the region to decide on citizenship and following the agreement between Lithuania and Germany in February 1925, German citizens were allowed to depart to Germany. In 1925–1933, 17,730 people departed from the Klaipėda Region. Lithuania's acquisition of the Klaipėda Region damaged the region's economy, resulting in growing unemployment and local hostility towards Lithuania. German nationalists began to take advantage of the situation and with their activity only worsened it. On 6 April 1923, strikes and demonstrations, organized by the nationalists and communists, began in the region. Moreover, unidentified activists in nighttime demolished the monuments of Kaiser Wilhelm I and Borussia that symbolized the German culture and statehood in the region. The German part of the region's population considered it as a Lithuanian provocation, but the Lithuanians denied that that they were responsible. Another obstacle to the Government of Lithuania's plans to Lithuanize the region and its population was the Klaipėdans' (Memellanders') opposition to the Government of Lithuania and support for the pro-German parties in the elections to the Parliament of the Klaipėda Region (). Moreover, the Germans had considerable influence in all government bodies. The anti-Lithuanian activities in the region were greatly financed by various German financial institutions. According to Antanas Merkys, the Governor of Klaipėda in 1927–1932, the deteriorating situation of the region was dangerous already in 1927, and in 1930 the Lithuanian language was taught as a foreign language to most of the region's pupils. On 29 June 1931, Joseph Goebbels participated in an event in nearby Tilsit and claimed that the aim of the National Socialists was that the Klaipėda Region should be ceded to Germany as part of the restoration of the pre-war German borders. This rhetoric was supported by the Nazi press. The German-Lithuanian Klaipėda Regional Union, whose members advocated for the region to be separated from Lithuania and returned to Germany and slandered Lithuanians, was established in Berlin and had its branches in Tilsit and Königsberg. The Kulturverband financed German schools, boarding schools, bookstores, libraries, clubs, organized celebrations, and since 1933 actively promoted National Socialism in Lithuania. The destructive anti-Lithuanian activities were coordinated and financed by the German consulate in Klaipėda. Crimes The accused at the trial of Neumann and Sass were leaders and active members of the Christlich Sozialistische Arbeitsgemeinschaft des Memelgebiets (CSA) and Sozialistische Volksgemeinschaft des Memelgebiets (SOVOG) political parties (both established in 1933). A clandestine branch of the National Socialist German Workers' Party (NSDAP) was located in Klaipėda starting in 1928. Following Adolf Hitler's coming to power on 30 October 1933 their activity amplified. On 22 May 1933, the region's Nazis who were members of the CSA party took part in the Klaipėda regional elections. The party was led by priest Theodor Freiherr von Sass, Hanno von der Ropp, and Secretary Ernst Gaebler. Soon Ernst Neumann was appointed the Nazi commander of the region as the pro-German politicians of the region convinced the NSDAP leadership that Sass was too weak to implement the plans of the Nazis. Nevertheless, Sass refused to give up his party's leadership to Neumann. Consequently, Neumann and Wilhelm Bertuleit established the SOVOG political party, which at the time had 5,986 members. This resulted in a struggle for power began between the CSA and SOVOG, however when the SOVOG strengthened itself it overshadowed the CSA and the NSDAP stopped funding the CSA. Both SOVOG and CSA parties made efforts to recruit new members. The SOVOG activity was hidden behind incorrect statements that it was loyal to Lithuania. Members of the SOVOG acted in the entire Klaipėda Region and had county leaders and secret strike squads (), which were based on the principles of the Sturmabteilung (SA) and Schutzstaffel and thus performed military training, espionage and terrorist acts. In early 1934, the SOVOG and CSA together planned an insurrection in the Klaipėda Region, aiming to tear off the region from Lithuania. The insurrection would have been accompanied by invasion of the members of the Sturmabteilung (SA), who were concentrated near the state border. The NSDAP trained members of both parties. In 1934, the Lithuanian authorities became interested in the activities of both parties and launched a throughout investigation. Following the successful infiltration and recruitment of agents in the two parties, who provided information about its members activities, Neumann and Sass were arrested. Among 805 party members, the investigators found 1,104 different firearms, many works of illegal NSDAP propaganda literature and various documents. Prosecution A total of 126 people were prosecuted, 92 of whom were from the SOVOG, while the rest of them were from the CSA. The Nazis attempted to disturb the prosecution process and killed G. Jesuttis, who at the time was the Chief Wachtmeister of the Klaipėda Regional Court, fearing that he could testify about the Nazi activities in the region. Moreover, the local Nazis attempted to assassinate Wilhem Lopp, who collaborated with the Lithuanian authorities. On 13 August 1934, both political parties were banned. The final criminal case contained 32 volumes and an indictment of 528 pages. Charges were filed against 123 Nazis (half of them were aged 18–26). Trial For the first time in the European history, a mass trial of the Nazis was held, which drew attention of the great powers. Lithuania planned a public trial in Kaunas Sports Hall on 5 November 1934, which would have been broadcast on Lithuanian radio, but Nazi Germany, supported by the Triple Entente, demanded a secret trial and light penalties. Nevertheless, Lithuania held a partly public trial (upon invitation). Moreover, Lithuanian authorities translated some of the court's documents into French for easier understanding of the process for the European public and upon invitation allowed journalists from the United Kingdom, France, Sweden, Poland, Nazi Germany, the Soviet Union, and the United States to observe the process in the courtroom. The case was tried in a military court as Lithuania had been in a state of war since 1926. The court was chaired by Silvestras Leonas, the First Colonel of the Lithuanian Armed Forces, while the prosecutors were: General Emilis Vymeris, the Prosecutor of the Military Court, and Dionizas Monstavičius, the Assistant Prosecutor of the Palace of Appeal, and the defendants had their own defenders. Moreover, nine lawyers and two linguists were part of an editorial commission. Evidence was collected in order to prove the guilty of the defendants and 507 witnesses testified in the court. Despite the collected comprehensive evidence, the defendants said they were not guilty. They claimed that the Nazi parties were legal and that they only admired Nazism without secret anti-Lithuanian plans. The trial proved that the Nazis of the Baltic states collaborated. Seeking to influence the Lithuanian court's judgement in the trial, Nazi Germany mobilized its army near the Lithuanian border, violated the Lithuanian airspace, and sent 17 protest notes. Despite all the foreign pressure, on 26 March 1935, the Court of the Lithuanian Armed Forces went ahead with sentencing. In total, 14 members of the CSA and 73 members of the SOVOG were convicted for their committed crimes and were sentenced to life-long or fixed-term imprisonment in a heavy labor prison. However, the court also acquitted 35 people and 1 defendant fled. The most severe penalties were issued to the assassins of Jesuttis, who were sentenced to capital punishment. The convicts appealed the court's decision to the Supreme Tribunal of Lithuania, however it left the previous court decision unchanged. Execution of sentences Despite the principled position of the Lithuanian courts in sentencing the convicts, Lithuanian President Antanas Smetona in May 1935 commuted the capital sentences to life imprisonment and released several other convicts due to the foreign pressure. Seeing this, a proposal was made by Stasys Lozoraitis, the Lithuanian Minister for Foreign Affairs, to exchange Lithuanian political prisoners in Germany for the convicts in the trial, however Nazi Germany rejected this proposal. In 1937, Smetona dismissed the sentence to Sass and amnestied 35 other convicts, while in 1938 he also amnestied Neumann and Bertuleit. The last amnestied convicts of the trial were four assassins of Jesuttis and two who attempted to assassinate Lopp. In August 1938, at the request of the Directorate of the Klaipėda Region, all civil rights were restored to the Nazis who were tried at the trial. Aftermath Following the 1939 German ultimatum to Lithuania, Nazi Germany annexed the Klaipėda Region and in March 1939 Adolf Hitler personally met with Neumann and the others who were convicted in the trial of Neumann and Sass during his visit to Klaipėda. National and international evaluation The trial of Neumann and Sass revealed Nazi Germany's plans to annex the Klaipėda Region. At the time, it was the largest case of such type that had been successfully finished. The trial of Neumann and Sass was at the time exceptionally negatively perceived in the German press. As a result, Nazi Germany began economic pressure by terminating the trade agreement with Lithuania. In 1934–1935, the Lithuanian directorates of the Klaipėda Region led by Martynas Reizgys and Jurgis Brūvelaitis fired all the followers of Neumann and Sass and Nazi Germany therefore sent complaints accusing Lithuania of violating the Klaipėda Convention to the League of Nations and to the signatories of the agreement. At the time, Stasys Lozoraitis sought a démarche (formal diplomatic representation) from the signatory states of the Klaipėda Convention to Nazi Germany, but they began to press Lithuania instead of Nazi Germany. At the initiative of the United Kingdom, France, and Fascist Italy sent a démarche to the Government of Lithuania on 13 March 1935. On 30 March 1935, the British suggested the French and Italians to send a common ultimate note to the Government of Lithuania. The Government of Fascist Italy requested that the Lithuanian President Antanas Smetona pardon the National Socialists, who were sentenced to capital punishment. The British representative T. Preston stressed to Lozoraitis that Lithuania could only count on the United Kingdom's support once the "normal functioning of the autonomous system" in Klaipėda was restored. Moreover, Preston also noted the need to back down to Nazi Germany and not to carry out the executions of the convicted National Socialists. France did not provide support to Lithuania either. Furthermore, Lithuania was not supported even by its closest allies in the Baltic Entente – Latvia and Estonia. The trial of Neumann and Sass did not receive the attention it deserved from the Triple Entente. Consequently, Hitlerism was further developed by the Nazis and caused World War II.

An illegal helmsman swap was observed by ITA and the judges. The protest should have been handled by the International Jury. However, one of the overseas members of the jury needed to catch a plane so that the jury did not comply with the rules for an international jury. The decision was that SLO 1 was disqualified and GER 304 became European championship. SLO 1 made an appeal and since there was no International Jury the appeal was handled by a Norwegian appeal committee. That committee ruled different than the original verdict and SLO1 was reinstated.

Platanthera shriveri, Shriver's purple fringed orchid, is a rare orchid endemic to the United States. It is considered critically imperiled. Description Platanthera shriveri plants look very similar to Platanthera grandiflora and a hybrid origin with Platanthera lacera is suspected. To distinguish Platanthera shriveri from Platanthera grandiflora small morphological details and a different bloom time (July and August, about 3 weeks later) have to be observed. Distribution and habitat The only known populations are in Maryland, North Carolina, Pennsylvania (historic record only), Virginia and West Virginia. They grow in woodlands and along stream banks. Taxonomy Platanthera shriveri was described as a new species by P. M. Brown in 2008. There is ongoing research whether the plants described as Platanthera shriveri are a separate botanical species or can be considered within the morphological and bloom time ranges of Platanthera grandiflora.

Faustino Giovita Mariano Malaguti (15 February 1802 – 26 April 1878) was a chemist. Born in pre-unification Italy, he was exiled and took French citizenship in 1840. Biography Malaguti was born in Pragatto near Bologna, where his father Giuseppe Valerio was a pharmacist. After being schooled by Barnabites, he attended the University of Bologna, where he qualified as a pharmacist.

He wrote only two works on porcelain during his time there, instead dedicating himself to organic chemistry; he gained a doctorate in the area from Sorbonne University in 1839. In 1842, he became professor of chemistry at the University of Rennes. He became the university's dean in 1855 and the rector in 1866.

Lutzia cretica is a species of herbaceous plant endemic to the Aegean Islands of Greece. It is the only species in the genus Lutzia, which belongs to the cabbage family Brassicaceae. Prior to a 2015 reappraisal based on molecular phylogenetic data, the plant was most commonly included in the genus Alyssoides as Alyssoides cretica. Lutzia cretica grows into a characteristic spherical bush. Its leaves are greyish-white and tomentose (covered in soft dense hairs). It produces large yellow flowers between February and April, and the fruits can remain on the plant until June. It grows in the crevices of limestone cliffs and ravines, from sea level up to 400m, less frequently as high as 800m. It is found on the islands of Crete (mostly the central and eastern parts and on some small offshore islets), Kasos, Karpathos, and Astypalaia. References Brassicaceae Flora of Crete

Civilian Conservation Corp Camp F-10, also called the Rockerville Civilian Conservation Corp Camp, is a historic district on Silver Mountain Road, southwest of Rapid City, South Dakota. Between 1933 and 1935, it functioned as a base camp for Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) workers who were employed on multiple construction and forestry projects in the area during the Great Depression. The camp was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2004; three buildings and the remains of a fireplace are included in the listing. History The Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) operated in South Dakota during the Great Depression, building and maintaining structures and government property across the state. Temporary camps were constructed to accommodate the thousands of workers that passed through the program. The Rockerville area was chosen as a temporary base of operations for CCC Company 1794, who were mostly employed in Black Hills forestry maintenance for the United States Forest Service. Taska included bridge and dam construction, tree thinning, campsite and trail maintenance, and firefighting. The first camp buildings, including two officers' cabins and a hospital, were erected in 1933. Early CCC camps were usually log structures created from surrounding lumber and resources; by 1934, however, the federal government had introduced prefabricated parts to CCC campsite construction. This allowed buildings to easily be dismantled and moved to a new campsite or to be reused somewhere else. The camp eventually included 17 structures: four barracks that could sleep 50 men each, a recreation hall, mess hall, kitchen and cooks' barracks, a bathhouse, blacksmithing shop, garage, storage cabins, a water tower, and the aforementioned officers' cabins and hospital. Up to 175 men were stationed at Camp F-10 at its most populous. In May 1935, Company 1794 was scheduled to be incorporated into Company 791, who were at that time based at Camp F-22 at Summit Peak. The Rockerville camp was abandoned—buildings that could be dismantled were taken with the company for use in the new camp—and sat unused for decades, causing most of the remaining structures to crumble. Today, only three log buildings stand: two officers' cabins and the hospital, plus a fireplace ruin that was once part of the mess hall. On January 28, 2004, a triangular historic district encompassing the surviving structures was added to the National Register of Historic Places. The site is now on private property.

In perennial philosophy, resacralization of knowledge is the reverse of the rationalizing process. The central premise is that knowledge is intimately connected to its divine source, which has been overlooked in modern times. The process of resacralization of knowledge seeks to reinstate the role of intellect in place of reason, as well as to revive the role of traditional metaphysics in acquiring knowledge, especially knowledge of God, by drawing on sacred traditions and sacred science that confirm the hierarchy of knowledge and the spiritual or gnostic teachings of each of the world religions. Iranian philosopher Seyyed Hossein Nasr elaborated on the process of resacralization of knowledge in his book Knowledge and the Sacred, which was presented as the Gifford Lectures in 1981. Origin According to Jane I. Smith, the Iranian philosopher Seyyed Hossein Nasr seeks to reverse the process by which "secularized reason has been brought to bear on sacred traditions" in his 1981 Gifford Lectures, published under the title Knowledge and the Sacred, in order to revive the sacred quality of knowledge. Nasr argues in his Gifford Lectures that the Western intellectual tradition “is in need of a resacralization of knowledge”. He seeks to revive the sacred character of knowledge in order to revitalize the Western intellectual tradition, with the help of his Islamic tradition and the "living traditions of the Orient," stating that knowledge has never been separated from the sacred in the Orient. Background According to Ali Zaidi, Nasr and other Traditionalists regard modernity as an "anomaly" in world history, "a renewed jahilliya or "an Age of Ignorance", because forgetfulness of the Sacred becomes dominant only in modern Weltanschauung, despite the fact that such forgetfulness has always been a feature of human existence. In the absence of an unifying theological framework, mankind loses touch with Divinity in unprecedented ways, forgetting the divine roots of human phenomenon. Nasr emphasizes the "symbolic element of reality" which he believes "has been lost under the literalist reign of modern science". In reference to the Sufi view of the "veil of perception", Nasr contends that knowledge of Self and the physical world of modernity is superficial, resulting in "an externalized image away from the cosmic center" because modern civilization confuses the "quantitative accumulation of information" with "qualitative penetration" into the deeper dimensions of reality. Nasr accuses modern sciences of eroding the theological and metaphysical basis of knowledge by generating "the most anthropocentric form of knowledge conceivable", relying solely on human reason and empirical data to determine the validity of all knowledge. All human sciences, for Nasr, deny the possibility of other orders of reality and, as a result, exclude all other means of knowing, rejecting that the world's reality may extend beyond the physical dimensions. Historical development Nasr says that when the secularization process appeared to be approaching its natural conclusion in favor of completely removing the influence of the sacred from all areas of human existence and thought, as indicated by Nietzsche's declaration that God is dead, some modern individuals sought to reclaim the sacred. In contrast to the mechanical and rationalistic views of the cosmos and man of individuals such as Bacon, Newton, and Locke, poets such as Goethe, Blake, and Emerson sought to return to a more holistic vision of man and nature. They couldn't, however, restore tradition in the West or revive the scientia sacra which is at the center of all tradition. According to Nasr, the sapiental perspective in the West had become too weak due to the lack of direct contact with the Oriental traditions, which had retained their basic teachings intact in their doctrinal and operational dimensions. For Nasr, it was up to the Orient to revive sapiential tradition in the West through individuals influenced by its light. Nasr mentions Rene Guenon, Ananda K. Coomaraswamy, and Frithjof Schuon among others as having sought to restore the sapiential dimension in the West. Themes According to Steve Yim, the resacralization of knowledge for Nasr entails restoring knowledge to the prior process of its secularization. He describes the process of resacralization of knowledge as the process of reviving spiritual and transcendent meanings in knowledge. Although Nasr believes that Islam is the authentic religion that contains the absolute truth, he also believes in the reality of other "genuine revelations" outside of Islam. Nasr contends, in the spirit of other traditionalist thinkers, that every religious tradition contains the eternal truth of God. All religions are united in the fact that they all have their origins in the Absolute, which is both truth and reality and the source of all revelation and truth. According to this perspective, knowledge that is not accompanied with a sense of the divine cannot be regarded as true knowledge. In contrast to modern human sciences, Nasr contends that the sapiential tradition of world religions provides a comprehensive account of the hierarchy of knowledge that correlates to different orders of reality. While the natural and social sciences confine legitimate knowledge to a rationalist interpretation of the physical realm, giving rise to an analytical and compartmentalized view of the universe, a holistic perspective of knowledge relies on intellect and reason, i. e., on both intuition and reason. Nasr emphasizes over and again that the knowledge to which the Quran alludes is placed inside a sacred framework, much as previous Islamic sciences were constrained by a metaphysical framework of the harmony and complete order of the cosmos. As a result, knowledge must be reconstructed in terms of both a true metaphysics of God's essence and a science of the revealed cosmic order, which points to a higher order of reality. As a result, the process of resacralization necessitates the restoration of the place of the intellect above and beyond the place of reason, in order for mankind to reestablish connection with God, the relative with the Absolute. Because the intellect is capable of knowing the Absolute, it must serve as the foundation for a resacralized paradigm of knowledge. Zaidi quotes Nasr as saying that “Certainly my goal is to move in the opposite direction than what Max Weber called the Entzauberungprozess". Nasr's appeal to intuition as the foundation of knowledge stems from his belief that intuitive, sapiential knowledge fosters an intimate relationship between the knower, the act of knowing, and the thing to be known. Nasr therefore broadens the idea of tawhid from its narrow orthodox view of God's unity to the Unity of Being. The concept of tawhid here has implications on both the ontological and epistemological levels, since it eliminates the subject-object duality that lies at the heart of the post-Enlightenment paradigm of thought. According to Nasr, rationality without intuition, and the idea of the knowing subject separated from the known object, causes us to become preoccupied with the particular, relative, and ephemeral or the Universal, Absolute, and Eternal, without really being able to correlate the two. According to Nasr, the process of knowledge reconstruction must call into question not just the ontological status of physical reality, but also the epistemological validity of the knowledge that purports to explain that reality. Thus, Nasr's reconstruction goes deeply into metaphysics as a necessary reversal of modernity's rationalization process. For Nasr, the resuscitation of Tradition is vital to resacralizing knowledge, because "a de-traditionalized world cannot manifest the sacred", nor can modern science, or the modern world in general, transcend its inherent flaws, and because "The rediscovery of the sacred is ultimately and inextricably related to the revival of tradition". For Nasr and other traditionalists, Tradition centers on the Divine or the Sacred. It specifically refers to the "transmission of sapiential knowledge found in the spiritual, esoteric, or Gnostic traditions in each of the World Religions, a knowledge that recognizes the sacred and divine origin of the cosmos". Nasr believes that only sacred science, which confirms the hierarchy of knowledge and sapiential teachings of the world religions, can check scientism, which he believes will grow in strength as scientific applications in the form of technology will continue to undermine the sanctity of the human person while simultaneously hastening the world's ecological degradation. Resacralization of science Scholars such as Seyyed Hossein Nasr, Alparslan Açkgenç, and Osman Bakar say that religion and science cannot be reconciled without changing the philosophical foundations of modern science because modern science is essentially secular and is responsible for desacralizing the universe. The only way to prevent this outcome is to resuscitate traditional sacred sciences which would not subscribe to the metaphysical principles of modern science. Nasr, along with members of the Traditionalist School such as Frithjof Schuon, René Guénon, and Titus Burckhardt, contends that the premodern and modern sciences differ in their conceptions of nature, methods, cosmological presuppositions, epistemological perspective, and the parametric structure used to process the "facts" discovered through observation and experimentation. They propose that the modern worldview be deconstructed by altering the foundational assumptions about the nature of reality, which are governed by the prevailing "dualist-mechanistic-anthropocentric paradigm". Nasr thus contends that the problem may be remedied by reinstating the hierarchy of knowledge, namely "the traditional hierarchy of metaphysics over physics". As a result, he condemns any attempt to combine science and religion in such a way that religion conforms to modern scientific theories. Traditional religion, in his opinion, must not be influenced by modern science; rather, modern science should be placed in its appropriate perspective and, if required, corrected by traditional metaphysics. Effects The resacralization of knowledge would allow man to reconnect with the divine. Because, according to Nasr, the intellective or intuitive perception of higher orders of reality is ultimately what permits Man to know God. According to Nasr, the rediscovery of the sacred dimension of knowledge would cast fresh light on Greek wisdom, wisdom of Plato, Plotinus, and other Graeco-Alexandrian sages and teachings such as Hermeticism, not as mere "human philosophy" but as sacred teachings of divine inspiration comparable to Hindu darśanas rather than modern philosophical schools of today. In this regard, Nasr points to "the belief of Muslim philosophers that the Greek philosophers had learned their doctrines from the prophets", particularly Solomon, and that "philosophy derives from the niche of prophecy". Nasr claims that even though such a claim is historically unverifiable, it embodies a fundamental truth, namely the connection of their philosophical wisdom to the sacred and its foundation in revelation, even if this revelation is not similar to Abrahamic religions. Reception According to Nidhal Guessoum, the concepts of God's “robust unity” and the function of intuitive knowledge bring nothing new to our understanding of scientific processes. He believes that deconstructing science in order to resacralize it is unnecessary because the ultimate objective, for Guessoum, is to reconcile "religious tradition with rational and scientific modernity." Likewise, Mehdi Golshani claims that Nasr's metaphysical objections are unnecessary since “science and metaphysics are complementary rather than contradictory.” Sacralization initiatives, according to Syed Farid Alatas, do not provide alternatives to modernist discourse. However, Ernest Wolf-Gazo sees a possibility of reconciling Nasr's philosophy with the Western tradition, if positive worldviews in this regard can be reconstructed, taking into account the philosophies of figures such as Plato, Plotinus, Meister Eckhart, Cusanas, Spinoza, Goethe and German romantics such as Novalis, Schlegel, Schelling and Steffen. Then it might become possible to see that intellectual intuition of God is quite legitimate even within the Western tradition. For Wolf-Gazo, the reconstruction must be carried out in such a way that the Neo-Platonic tradition and the nominalists of late medieval philosophy, from Ockham to the analytic schools, from Newton to Whitehead, may be reconciled.

Rennes City Hall () is the seat of the city council in the French city of Rennes. It has been classed by the French government as a monument historique since 1962. History The baroque building was designed by Jacques Gabriel, who was tasked with rebuilding many building in Rennes after a fire in 1720. Gabriel chose to break with the past and build a new city worthy of the Age of Enlightenment. The city hall was placed on a newly built square. The south wing held the council and the north wing held a court, while in the middle there was a bell tower with a statue of Louis XV, which would be destroyed during the French Revolution. The statue of the monarch was in honour of his support for rebuilding the city. From 1840 to 1855, the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Rennes was based in the north wing, hosting academics such as the chemistry professor Faustino Malaguti. Emmanuel Le Ray refurbished the City Hall in the early 20th century, including the Panthéon rennais memorial to the victims of the First World War. The names of great French generals are inscribed on the ceiling, though the name of Philippe Pétain – later the head of state of the collaborationist Vichy France – has been removed. The niche where the statue of Louis XV stood was later occupied by a Jean Boucher sculpture of Anne of Brittany, the last sovereign ruler of the duchy, marrying Charles VIII of France. On 7 August 1932, during festivities for the 400th anniversary of the Union of Brittany and France, it was destroyed by a bomb laid by Breton nationalists; nothing has since replaced it on the plinth.

A platform trial is a type of prospective, disease-focused, adaptive, randomized clinical trial (RCT) that compares multiple, simultaneous and possibly differently-timed interventions against a single, constant control group. As a disease-focused trial design (compared to an intervention-focused), platform trials attempt to answer the question "which therapy will best treat this disease". Platform trials are unique in their utilization of both: a common control group and their opportunity to alter the therapies it investigates during its active enrollment phase. Platform trials commonly take advantage of Bayesian statistics, but may incorporate elements of frequentist statistics and/or machine learning. Purpose Platform trials can be a particularly useful design when researchers predict that multiple therapies that would become available at different times require investigation. For example, when the COVID-19 pandemic began, researchers predicted that there would eventually be multiple different therapies that could be investigated, but that these therapies would be discovered at different times in the pandemic timeline, therefore making a platform trial a useful design. Similar to COVID-19, platform trials have found use in oncology, alzheimer's disease and pneumonia research. Platform trials can be a superior design compared to simple 2-arm clinical trials when multiple therapies need investigation, because it only requires a single control group. This means that platform trials can be conducted with fewer enrolled patients than a set of potentially redundant control groups in a series of separate 2-arm trials. This in turn allows for results to be published sooner for time-sensitive diseases, and for fewer patients to be exposed to the risks of a clinical trial. Platform trials may be appropriate for phase II-IV trails. Design elements Master protocol Platform trials, like any clinical trial, have many elements that must be established before starting enrollment. While platform trials have the ability to alter their therapies of interest there are still many elements of these trials that remain constant and regulated. Such common, stable elements of platform trials described in the master protocol include: qualified trial staff members, trial sites, recruitment criteria, enrollment procedures, pre-set criteria for adding/discontinuing new therapies, adverse event reporting, communication plans, and statistical analysis plans. The master protocol is submitted to the IRB and once approved, only arm-specific appendices need to be submitted for Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval in the event of changes to the trial arms. Establishing a stable master protocol with adaptive therapy arms allows for faster, more efficient trial execution. Platform trials are often large, multi-site investigations and as a result, master protocols frequently try to identify common human and physical infrastructure to maximize resource availability and efficiency. Examples of this include identifying/creating a single IRB to review the trial for all sites, creating a single database for collecting data, and creating a single randomization mechanism for all enrolled patients. Common control group One of the defining aspects of a platform trial is the shared control group that all interventional arms are compared to. Whereas a conventional RCT would generally have half of all enrolled patients in the control group; platform trials have a higher total number of patients in various interventional groups. This allows for fewer patients to be enrolled which saves money and accelerates completion time. A common statistical tool for determining allocation ratios, Dunnett's test, suggests that n√t patients should be allocated to the control group; where "n" is the is the sample size for each of the arms and "√t" is the number of active arms. As the number of arms increase, the ratio of patients allocated to control also increases. This results in the control group having a higher proportion of allocated patients than any one arm though platform trials still allow for more total patients to be in intervention arms than multiple 2-arm RCTs. While the control group is not necessarily designed to change in the way that the treatment arms are, because platform trials can run for long periods of time, control groups may have to evolve to stay current with standard of care. When this is the case, or if there is a change to patient demographics with time, later analysis of the trial must be careful to consider comparing investigational patients to only the appropriate subset of control patients. Adaptive intervention groups The second defining aspect of a platform is that the therapies under investigation can change during the active enrollment phase of a trial. By comparison, conventional RCTs must specify the therapies under investigation before active enrollment and then discontinuation of a therapy results in discontinuation of the entire trial. Platform designs allow for addition and/or discontinuation of therapy arms. Importantly, the addition or discontinuation of an arm must follow pre-set protocols such as reaching a certain demonstrated efficacy or being recommended by a set panel of experts. There are frequently caps to the number of arms that can be active at once which are pre-determined by the research team. The number of possible arms is influenced by considerations of cost, time available for the trial, operational feasibility, complications with organization large quantities of patient data and the number of total patients available for enrollment. While an arm most frequently represents a single therapy, advanced designs may have multiple therapies in a single arm. When this is the case, one arm may have different therapies in different therapy classes (i.e. one antibiotic and one immunomodulator). Another advanced strategy is for each arm to utilize the same treatments, but with each arm representing a different sequence of intervention administration. Advance trials may also be designed such that some arms are only activated depending on the results of other arms. For example, a higher-dose arm may only be activated if a lower-dose arm shows few side effects but also low efficacy. Unlike conventional RCTs, intervention arms do not necessarily need to start at the same time chronologically. This feature is particularly useful when investigating diseases that have new therapies being discovered regularly since these new therapies can be added to the trial without needing to start a new trial each time a therapy is discovered. Response-adaptive randomization Response-adaptive randomization is not a necessary component of platform trials but unique aspects of platforms allow for this feature to be incorporated. Response-adaptive randomization refers to the capability of redistributing the patient allocation ratio when one arm is showing superior/inferior outcomes compared to other arms after an interim analysis. Allocation ratios can therefor be adjusted to put more patients into more successful arms; however the ratio of patients randomized to the control group does not change. Allocation ratios are determined through a mix of empirical interim evidence and simulation modeling. Care must be taken, especially early in the trial when limited sample sizes are available, to avoid extreme swings in allocation ratios as such swings could cause early biasing of data. Limitations While platform trials offer many advantages for investigating a single disease, their adaptive nature and potential for numerous and complicated arms limit the ability to execute platform trials. Platforms require a large number of experts for trial design, Data Monitoring and Safety Boards and operations leading to high cost and communication complexity. That platform trials can run for long periods of time may mean that updates to the standard of care in the control group are necessary, complicating analysis. Further, care must be taken to ensure that the data from late-added arms are compared to appropriate sub-sections of the control group, further adding to statistical complexity. Too, publishing results of terminated arms may be complicated if the whole trial has not yet completed, as shared data in the trial may still need to remain blinded. Further, the complexity of platform designs, which may have multiple sponsors and funding sources as well as changing treatment arms, can make them difficult to register in standardized databases. Platform trials, again due to their complexity, require long planning times and can therefor be a poor choice of design for therapies that require immediate investigation. Finally, funding mechanisms can become complicated if a trial is investigating different therapies from different pharmaceutical companies; and their ill-defined trial lengths make them less desirable funding targets from federal funding agencies.

Arnold Kübler (2 August 1890 - 27 December 1983) was a Swiss journalist and writer. He was the editor-in-chief of the Zürcher Illustrierte and of the cultural magazine Du. In his later career he also acted as a one-man cabaret. Education and early life Kübler was born on the 2 August 1890 in Wiesendangen, Canton Zurich to a farmer. He attended high school in Winterthur and from 1911 onwards studied geology at the University of Zurich and University of Delft. He gave up his studied in 1917 and unsuccessfully attempted to become a sculptor. Then he began to draw eventually turning to writing and becoming an actor at the Theater in Zürich. In an attempt to enhance his German, he went to Germany and after the World War I was engaged as an actor in Görlitz, Dresden and Berlin. This acting career came to a sudden end when a surgery left disfiguring scars on his face. However, the years of apprenticeship and travel were followed by clear continuity in creativity and recognition of work. In 1922, Kübler had his first literary success with the play Schuster Aiolos, which premiered in Potsdam. Professional career After his return to Switzerland in 1926, he was appointed editor-in-chief of the Zürcher Illustrierte in 1929, which under his lead developed into a respected literary and photographic magazine. He was convinced that a photograph can also be a vehicle of a message and worked with prominent photographers Paul Senn or Gotthard Schuh. In the literary section works by Hermann Hesse or Max Frisch were included. In 1941, Conzett & Huber decided to sell the «Zürcher Illustrierte» and publish a new magazine with which they planned to promote the multi-color print they have developed. Arnold Kübler became the editor-inchief of the newly founded cultural magazine "Du", which he ran for 16 years. Under Küblers leadership the Du became a well respected cultural magazine, employed prominent photographers like before also the Zürcher Illustrierte and focused on painters like Pablo Picasso, Joan Miro or Paul Klee. In the 1960s he returned to the theater stage with great success as a one-man cabaret. Literary career In 1934 his first novel "Failed Actor" a piece about a Swiss actor who attempts to speak a pure German language was published. He is also well known for the autobiographically inspired Öppi novels. In addition, Kübler was active in drawing and writing. He combined these two forms especially in his late works, such as in the workshop book Draw, Antonio! of 1966 or in Paris-Bâle à pied in 1967. Paris-Bâle à pied is an account about his wandering on foot from Basel to Paris in twenty-eight days.
