Paul H. Wender, also known as Dean of ADHD, is a biochemist and psychiatrist known for researching the genetic linkage in schizophrenia and ADHD. History Paul Wender was born in Manhattan, 1934. His mother, Luba Kibrick, was a social worker and his father, Dr. Louis Wender, was trained by one of Sigmund Freud'sdisciples and was chief psychiatrist at Hastings Hillside Hospital in Hastings-on-Hudson, New York In 1973, he became an Emeritus Professor at the University of Utah School of Medicine. In 1990, he was retired from his position and began lecturing in Phillips Academy, where he focused his efforts in studying ADHD. He also found a genetical linkage to the condition and was one of the first people to diagnose ADHD in adults. In 1990, he was named Distinguished Professor. He then moved to Andover, Massachusetts Wender is a pioneer in the field of ADHD in adults. In 1976, Wender proposed 61 items (WURS-61) for the diagnostic of ADHD in adults, the so-called Wender-Utah or Wender-Reimherr Criteria. Later, 25 of the itens were selected (WURS-25) and used by the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). In 1995, Wender published the first description of adults with ADHD, used in the XXI century as a guide to diagnosis and treatment by psychologists. He also studied medications that are an accepted treatment for ADHD. *Hoffmann Medal (2015) *William A.

In 2019, Ganna et al. published a paper in the journal Science (journal) The epigenetic clock In 2003, Bocklandt began working on post-doctoral research at the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA Genomics In 2010 Bocklandt left UCLA and in 2014 began working at Bionano Genomics as the VP Director of scientific affairs and corporate communication. Animal genetic engineering In 2006, Bocklandt co-founded the company Felix Pets with the goal of producing the first hypoallergenic cat through gene-editing. The company reportedly used the gene editing tools Zinc-finger nuclease Dire wolf "de-extinction" In June 2022, Bocklandt joined Colossal Biosciences as a Species Director. There, he participated in work that created modified gray wolves utilizing DNA recovered from fossilized remains of Dire wolf The claim of de-extinction has been disputed on the basis that the animals created are hybridized gray wolves and not instances of the extinct dire wolf species. This work has also been criticized as a distraction from conservation efforts necessary to avert the extinction of living animals.

Thalia Delphine Campbell (née Childs, born 1937) is a retired teacher and lecturer, and an activist who was one of the founders of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, where she was the chief banner maker. She produced over 250 banners, many of which were hung on the fences of the RAF Greenham Common base which hosted American cruise missiles. Early life and education Campbell was born in Torquay, England on 24 August 1937. Her father had a tailor'sshop on the town'sseafront. With socialist parents, she became politically aware from a young age, influenced particularly by her grandmother, a Theosophy Activism In 1981, Campbell was one of the founders of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp. She was a member of Women for Life on Earth, an anti-nuclear, Welsh women'speace movement opposed to the dumping of nuclear waste in Wales. The group was originally founded in early 1981 by Ann Pettitt and a group of friends, including Karmen Cutler, Liney Seward and Lynne Whittemore. A June 1981 Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament demonstration at RAF Brawdy, which had become a US listening post, was addressed solely by men, prompting Pettitt to get on the stage to make an impromptu speech. This was followed by the organisation of a women'speace march involving walking 120 miles from Cardiff to RAF Greenham Common between 27 August and 5 September 1981. Once there, many women decided to stay. Campbell quickly became well known for making banners to display on the military base'sperimeter fence. The first banner she made for the camp embroidered all the names of the marchers, as well as others who had provided support. This is believed to be the only complete record of those who participated in the march. The media caught up with the marchers as they crossed the Severn Bridge. The fact that mainly women were marching became the main issue as far as the press was concerned. According to Campbell,

those who participated in the march. The media caught up with the marchers as they crossed the Severn Bridge. The fact that mainly women were marching became the main issue as far as the press was concerned. According to Campbell, journalists asked challenging questions while telling their photographers to lie on the ground "to take photographs of four teenage girls' legs and knickers". She decided then to make banners in order to "kill them with beauty". After arrival at Greenham, banners soon became a way for the women to translate their thoughts into an immediate message. One of her most recognised banners was called Greenham Common Womens Peace Camp. It depicted the Greenham women'smethods of resistance: among which were Diagonal pliers References External links *Five half-hour recordings of Campbell’smemories of the Greenham Camp Category:1937 births Category:Living people Category:British anti-war activists Category:Alumni of Aberystwyth University Category:British anti-nuclear activists Category:English poster artists Category:English women artists

Blue Prince is a Puzzle video game The game challenges the player to explore a mansion with ever-shifting rooms, represented by ad-hoc construction of the mansion'srooms through the drafting of randomized cards representing new rooms, with the goal to reach a hidden 46th room. Failing to reach the 46th room after using all their footsteps forces them to leave the mansion and restart with most of the mansion reset and randomized for the next run. In addition, the mansion includes lore and other mysteries that can be solved by the player. Blue Prince was developed over eight years by solo developer Tonda Ros. Ros was influenced by the illustrated book ''Maze: Solve the World's Most Challenging Puzzle'' by Christopher Manson and other puzzle books along with tabletop games that featured drafting. The game received critical acclaim upon release. Gameplay The player takes the role of Simon P. Jones, who has been willed the Mt. Holly Estate, a mansion owned by his deceased great uncle Herbert S. Sinclair. The one stipulation in Herbert'swill is that Simon must locate a hidden 46th room within the mansion in order to secure his inheritance. Failure to reach that room within the span of a single day means Simon must start the search fresh the next day, as the house'sarchitecture is rearranged overnight. While discovering the 46th room is the primary goal of the game, there are other mysteries that the player can discover related to the mansion, such as the disappearance of children'sauthor Marion Marigold. The mansion is represented by a grid of 45 room tiles, nine rows by five. Only two rooms persist in the same locations every day: the Entrance Hall where the player starts, and the Antechamber that leads to the 46th room on the opposite side of the map. Upon opening a door to a new room, the player is prompted to draft that room by choosing one of three randomly

player starts, and the Antechamber that leads to the 46th room on the opposite side of the map. Upon opening a door to a new room, the player is prompted to draft that room by choosing one of three randomly selected floor plans to place in the adjacent space. However, the doors and walls of the new room must align with rooms already placed, and a number of rooms are dead-ends. Traversing from one room into another costs one "step". The player begins each day with 50 steps, but can replenish them by eating food items and entering bedrooms. Once the player exhausts their steps or otherwise finds they cannot progress further, they are forced to leave the mansion for the night and abandon all objects they have collected. There are means to have items carry between runs, as well as gain permanent upgrades that provide extra steps, gems, or coins at the start of a run. The player also retains knowledge of the larger puzzles in the mansion, and is encouraged to take notes. Once the player has successfully reached the 46th room for the first time, they unlock challenges for future runs, and can collect trophies to denote completed challenges. Development Blue Prince was primarily developed by Tonda Ros. Prior to development he had frequently held annual gatherings for his friends at different rental vacation homes, spending time to devise a puzzle game spanning the home based on ideas in the 1992 board game Jewels in the Attic. After playing through the games Gone Home and The Witness (2016 video game) Blue Prince received "critical acclaim" from critics for the PC and Xbox Series X/S versions, while the PlayStation 5 version received "generally favorable" reviews, according to review aggregator website Metacritic.

The K-Humanoid Alliance () is a humanoid robot research and development alliance of government, academic, and robot manufacturing companies, and was launched in April 2025. Major South Korean robot manufacturing companies, small and medium-sized companies related to parts, software companies, and universities are part of the alliance. Overview As global investment in humanoid robots rapidly grew, South Korean government saw the need to consolidate the capabilities of the humanoid ecosystem and planned the alliance organization. On April 10, 2025, the Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy held the K-Humanoid Alliance launch ceremony at The Plaza Hotel in Seoul. Minister Ahn Duk-geun and Seoul National University President Yoo Hong-rim attended the event, and AI robot experts, the country'srobot manufacturing companies such as Rainbow Robotics, and affiliates of large corporations such as LG Electronics and Doosan Robotics participated in the alliance. Plan Researchers from SNU's AI Research Institute, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST), Yonsei University, and Korea University plan to collaborate to develop a common AI model that will be installed on robots by 2028. This is a plan to develop an AI module that corresponds to the brain of a robot and link it with a physical AI that physically implements it. The alliance plans to develop a commercial humanoid robot that can lift objects weighing 20kg or more, weighs less than 60kg, has more than 50 joints, and moves at a speed of 2.5m/s or faster by 2028 through its own development or through cooperative projects. Semiconductor and battery companies participated, and large-scale research and development projects for the development of AI semiconductors for on-device will be led by the MOTIE. The MOTIE plans to launch a humanoid fund by 2025. In addition, by having 20 major domestic universities, including SNI and KAIST, participate in the alliance, it plans to foster excellent talent by providing undergraduate students with opportunities to directly and indirectly participate in

Karmen Cutler-Thomas was one of the original four women who formed "Women for Life on Earth" (WFLOE), and organised a march in 1981 from Cardiff in Wales to RAF Greenham Common in England to protest against the proposed storage of US nuclear cruise missiles in Britain. This led to the establishment of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp, which was to continue until 2000. In May 1983, she and two other women visited Moscow, where they met with Oleg Kharkhadin, the vice-president of the Soviet Peace Committee, in controversial circumstances. Early life and education Cutler was born in Manchester, England and later moved to the North Riding of Yorkshire. Around the age of 10, she moved to Hertfordshire, where she was educated at a Catholic school Organisation of the peace march Pettitt, Cutler, Lynne Whittemore and Liney Seward decided to set up WFLOE due to a growing concern in regard to nuclear weaponry and nuclear waste. They met in Cutler'shouse because she was the only one of the four who did not drive. They planned the route of the march to Greenham Common, near Newbury, Berkshire, and with the help of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament organised places where the marchers could stay overnight and made arrangements to be fed. The march began on 27 August 1981, with 36 women, four men and some children and lasted for ten days. On arrival, Cutler read out their demands, asking for a public debate about the cruise missiles, although there was only a solitary Ministry of Defence (United Kingdom) Originally there were no plans to remain at Greenham but after the US commander aggressively told Helen John that she could stay there as long as she liked as far as he was concerned, they decided to take him up on the offer and the camp slowly began to be established.

as she liked as far as he was concerned, they decided to take him up on the offer and the camp slowly began to be established. It was also realised that the march alone was not going to provoke a national debate about the missiles. Visits to Moscow Although the Greenham camp had been making international contacts and receiving visitors and residents from many countries, the focus had been on connections with other Western nations. In 1983 "Women for Life on Earth" decided to broaden the approach by establishing relations with the Soviet Union. According to Cutler this was motivated by aggressive onlookers at the camp, who sometimes shouted "go and tell it to the Russians". WFLOE hoped to use the visit to build connections with the "Group to Establish Trust Between the USSR and USA" (GTET), which had been started in early 1982. GTET hoped to pressurise the American and Soviet Union governments to take steps towards nuclear disarmament. Two prominent members were Olga Medvedkov and her husband Yuri, who had both been sacked from their university jobs for their activism. Wanting to avoid a state-manipulated visit, Cutler and Pettitt developed a plan for approximately 30 women from across the UK to be divided into groups of two or three and visit different parts of the USSR to exchange ideas with Soviet women. This required a preparatory visit to obtain permission from state officials. At the same time they hoped to initiate contacts with independent peace groups, such as GTET. To facilitate this they involved Jean McCollister, a student of Russian studies and a linguist, who also had contacts with GTET. On arrival in Moscow, Cutler, Pettitt and McCollister attended a picnic for peace with GTET. At this event they were asked to take Medvedkov with them on their visit to the Soviet Peace Committee the following day. The meeting with the Soviet Peace Committee was to be televised. The four

picnic for peace with GTET. At this event they were asked to take Medvedkov with them on their visit to the Soviet Peace Committee the following day. The meeting with the Soviet Peace Committee was to be televised. The four women arrived late as their taxi broke down and to avoid further delays security formalities were ignored, with nobody querying who Medvedkov was. When she started her introduction the cameramen and photographers were immediately ushered out of the meeting room and when she moved on to discuss GTET, she was interrupted by the vice-president, Oleg Kharkhardin, who then rebuked Cutler and Pettitt for taking Medvedkov to the meeting. Medvekov then voluntarily left the meeting and the discussions continued for about three hours. Later, the Medvekovs were permitted to emigrate to the US. Visas were eventually granted to around 30 British peace protestors to travel in small groups around the USSR at the end of 1983 and in 1984. However, Pettitt was denied a visa and Cutler'sactivities were restricted to Moscow and Saint Petersburg References Category:Living people Category:British anti-war activists Category:British anti-nuclear activists Category:People from Manchester

Volumetric Electron Microscopy (Volume EM) is an electron microscopy method used to generate 3D reconstructions of thick (>500 nm) samples. The initial role of electron microscopes in imaging two-dimensional slices (TEM) or a specimen surface (SEM with secondary electrons) has also increasingly expanded into the depth of samples. An early example of these volume EM workflows was simply to stack TEM images of serial sections cut through a sample. The next development was virtual reconstruction of a thick section (200-500nm) volume by backprojection of a set of images taken at different tilt angles - Transmission electron microscopy#Three-dimensional imaging To acquire volume EM datasets of larger depths than TEM tomography (micrometers or millimeters in the zaxis), a series of images taken through the sample depth can be used. For example, ribbons of serial sections can be imaged in a TEM as described above, and when thicker sections are used, serial TEM tomography can be used to increase the z-resolution. More recently, back scattered electron (BSE) images can be acquired of a larger series of sections collected on silicon wafers, known as SEM array tomography. An alternative approach is to use BSE SEM to image the block surface instead of the section, after each section has been removed. By this method, an ultramicrotome installed in an SEM chamber can increase automation of the workflow; the specimen block is loaded in the chamber and the system programmed to continuously cut and image through the sample. This is known as serial block face SEM. A related method uses focused ion beam milling instead of an ultramicrotome to remove sections. In these serial imaging methods, the output is essentially a sequence of images through a specimen block that can be digitally aligned in sequence and thus reconstructed into a volume EM dataset. The increased volume available in these methods has expanded the capability of electron microscopy to address new questions, and membrane contact sites between organelles.

Katrina Howse (born 1958) is an artist and anti-nuclear activist who was a long-time resident at the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in England in the 1980s and 1990s. Early life and education Howse was born on 24 November 1958. After graduating from the University of Sheffield, she worked as a community mural artist while also organising women'speace activities, including helping to set up a women'speace camp outside RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire, to protest against the Falklands War. Activism Howse began living and working full-time at the Greenham peace camp near Newbury, Berkshire in August 1982 and was among the last women to leave the camp on its closure in 2000. She is considered to have been the camp'slongest continual resident. During the 18 years she took part in regular nonviolent direct actions and served nineteen prison terms, in HM Prison Drake Hall The last cruise missiles left Greenham in 5 May 1991 but Howse and others remained, turning their attention to the nearby Atomic Weapons Establishments at Aldermaston and at Burghfield, where warheads for the Trident (UK nuclear programme) Howse successfully brought libel charges against News UK Art During her time at the camp, Howse continued to create her artworks, mainly in the form of large painted banners or textile murals. She exhibited and sold her work nationally and internationally. She also contributed art for the newsletters published by members of the Yellow Gate camp (the protestors divided into several separate camps named after colours) and created flyers and posters publicising the camp'sactivities. Her work is included in the publication ''Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp: A History of Non-Violent Resistance 1984-1995'', edited by Beth Junor. Politics In 1997, Howse stood as the Socialist Labour Party (UK) References Category:Living people Category:1958 births Category:British anti-war activists Category:British anti-nuclear activists Category:British women artists Category:Alumni of the University of Sheffield

Volume VIII of his Traité de physiologie normale et pathologique ("Treatise on Normal and Pathological Physiology"). Lefèvre'sresearch focused on the mechanisms of thermoregulation, heat loss, and thermogenesis in mammals. He contributed to resolving debates regarding the role of heat in biological systems, demonstrating that heat production in organisms serves both as a byproduct of metabolic activity and as an essential function for maintaining constant core temperature, particularly in homeothermic animals. His work also established a relationship between heat loss and ambient temperature, showing that heat production accelerates as environmental temperature decreases. A revised edition of the book was published in 1919. An authorised English translation was published in 1923 by Fred Rothwell, as A Scientific Investigation into Vegetarianism. The book explores vegetarianism from scientific, historical, physiological, and social perspectives. It begins with a historical overview of vegetarianism, including movements in various countries and key figures like Jean-Antoine Gleizes. The second section examines the physiological basis of vegetarian doctrines, covering nutrition, food composition, and critiques of flesh-eating diets. It discusses alternative dietary systems such as fruitarianism and veganism (termed végétalisme), and analyzes human dietary needs from a biological and anatomical standpoint. Additional chapters address the role of diet in illness, social and economic aspects of food systems, human energy and nutrition, and the body'sthermal regulation in relation to diet. Recognition Lefèvre received several significant awards throughout his career. These included the Laborde Prix in 1894, the Montyon Prix for experimental physiology in 1905, the Pourat Prix in 1908, and the Petit-d'Ormoy and Mallanet Prix in 1913.

with those of climate justice. Eco-ableism refers to the forms of ableism that arise within environmental movements, Environmental policy Coinage The term was coined by disabled and neurodivergent environmental activists, and began appearing in scientific and journalistic literature in the early 2020s. For example, a 2022 study of heatwave-related deaths in Australia between 2001 and 2018 found that 89% of those who died 316 out of 354 individuals were living with at least one disability. In this context, eco-ableism can be particularly harmful. Despite this elevated risk, disabled people are often underrepresented in climate-related policy, planning, and research. They are more likely to experience poverty and are less frequently included in urban planning, public health and biomedical research, legal frameworks, and socioeconomic initiatives aimed at responding to climate change. This underrepresentation persists despite international legal obligations such as the 2006 United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (CRPD), which mandates the inclusion of disabled people in climate mitigation and adaptation efforts, including international development programmes. Examples * Drinking straw#Plastic straw bans and proposals * Emergency planning: Evacuation and protection measures against environmental hazards sometimes neglect the needs of disabled people, leading the latter to be even more vulnerable when disaster hits. * Climate activism spaces: Protests and campaigns have been criticised for their lack of physical accessibility, sensory overload, and exclusion of disabled voices in leadership or strategic planning. Intersectionality By examining how the climate crisis and ableism combine and interact, eco-ableism fits within an Intersectionality Understanding eco-ableism through an intersectional lens reveals how environmental policies and designs can reinforce multiple forms of marginalisation at once. For example, inaccessible evacuation centres or disaster warnings may leave out not just disabled people generally, but especially those who also face language barriers, poverty, or institutional discrimination. Without accounting for these intersecting experiences, climate action can unintentionally prioritise certain bodies, voices, and communities while excluding others. Addressing eco-ableism, therefore,

Edward Kremers (February 23, 1865 – July 9, 1941) was an American pharmacologist and educator. Education Edward Kremers began preparatory education before 1880 and the age of 15 at Lakeland University He graduated in Pharmacy from the University of Wisconsin–Madison He is considered a reformer of pharmacology education. In 1892, he introduced major changes in the way the subject was taught, including the transition to a four-year degree. Initially, his ideas met with strong opposition from the American Pharmaceutical Association and the Wisconsin Pharmaceutical Association, among others. However, despite his youth, in the following years he overcame this resistance and his proposals ended up being adopted. Among other recognitions, he was awarded the Ebert Prize twice (1887 and 1900). Edward Kremers Award The Edward Kremers Award, established a year earlier by the American Institute of the History of Pharmacy, has been awarded since 1962. It is awarded to the author(s) of a book or series of articles on the history of pharmacy and drugs that stands out for its quality and academic rigor. Personal life Edward was born on February 23, 1865 to Geherd Kremers (1826–1906) and Elise Petronella Kamper (1836–1913). He grew up in a neighborhood of Milwaukee with very strong German ethnic identity. He later recalled "there were in my class two or at the most three children who did not participate in the instructions in German,". He married Laura Haase in 1892, with whom he would have two sons and two daughters. He died on July 9, 1941.

4-Hydroxy-2,4,5-triaminopyrimidine is an organic compound with the formula . The compound is classified as a pyrimidine substituted with three amino groups and a hydroxyl group. Tautomers The title compound is one of several possible tautomers. As established by X-ray crystallography, the doubly protonated derivative 2,4,5-triamino-1,6-dihydropyrimidin-6-one, which is red-orange, can be obtained as the sulfate salt. Preparation and biosynthetic significance In historic work, 4-hydroxy-2,4,5-triaminopyrimidine was shown to condense with formic acid to give guanidine, a nucleic acid found in both RNA and DNA (not recognized at the time of its synthesis). Traube et al. had previously made 4-hydroxy-2,4,5-triaminopyrimidine by cyclization of cyanoacetylguanidine. Like most aromatic 1,2-diamines, 4-hydroxy-2,4,5-triaminopyrimidine condenses with glyoxal to give a pterin. The biosynthesis of riboflavin proceeds via this diamine, which is derived from guanine. 4-Hydroxy-2,4,5-triaminopyrimidine can be prepared in the laboratory from simple precursors that may be relevant to the origin of life. Reminiscent of the early work of Traube et al., it arises by condensation of guanidine, aminomalononitrile (trimer of HCN), and aminocyanoacetamide.

James G. Gehling (born 20 September 1946) is an Australian palaeontologist recognised for his extensive research on the Ediacaran biota and significant contributions to the understanding of early multicellular life. He played a pivotal role in the formal naming of the Ediacaran Early Life and Education Gehling received his B.Sc. Honours and M.Sc. degrees from the University of Adelaide. He later earned a Ph.D. from the University of California, Los Angeles, focusing on the taphonomy of the terminal Proterozoic Ediacara biota in South Australia. Contributions to Geology In 2005, Gehling was instrumental in the formal naming of the Ediacaran Period, covering an interval from approximately 630million to 542million years ago. This was the first new geological period added to the Standard Global Chronostratigraphic Scale in over 100 years. The period was officially unveiled by South Australian Premier Mike Rann on 16 April 2005. He has appeared in various international media, notably alongside Sir David Attenborough in the 2009 documentary "First Life," featuring Ediacara fossils from South Australia. In 2024, the species Tribrachidium gehlingi was named in honor of Professor Gehling, recognizing his extensive contributions to the study of Ediacaran fossils and the geology of the Flinders Ranges. This newly identified species exhibits distinct morphological features, including three slightly curved main arm-like structures that do not reach the outer margin, and three shorter secondary arms, distinguishing it from the previously known ''Tribrachidium heraldicum References External links * James G.

Category:Machine learning Meta-labeling, also known as corrective AI, is a machine learning (ML) technique utilized in quantitative finance to enhance the performance of investment and trading strategies, developed in 2017 by Marcos López de Prado at Guggenheim Partners and Cornell University. Motivation Meta-labeling is designed to improve precision without sacrificing recall. As noted by López de Prado, attempting to model both the direction and the magnitude of a trade using a single algorithm can result in poor generalization. By separating these tasks, meta-labeling enables greater flexibility and robustness: * Enhances control over capital allocation. * Reduces overfitting by limiting model complexity. * Allows the use of interpretability tools and tailored thresholds to manage risk. * Enables dynamic trade suppression in unfavorable regimes. Meta-labeling is typically implemented as a three-stage process: * Primary model (M1): Predicts the direction or label of a financial outcome using features such as market prices, returns, or volatility indicators. A typical output is directional, e.g., Y ∈ −1,0,1, representing short, neutral, or long positions. * Secondary model (M2): A binary classifier trained to predict whether the primary model'sprediction will be profitable. The target variable is a binary meta-label F \0, 1\. Inputs can include features used in the primary model, performance diagnostics, or market regime data. * Position sizing algorithm (M3): Translates the output probability of the secondary model into a position size. Higher confidence scores result in larger allocations, while lower confidence leads to reduced or zero exposure. Stage 1: Forecasting side Primary model architecture Due to these varying distributions, simply summing the outputs of different models can inadvertently lead to uneven weighting of signals, biasing trade decisions. To address this, model calibration techniques are essential to adjust the predicted probabilities towards frequentist probabilities, ensuring that model outputs reflect true likelihoods more accurately. Two common calibration techniques are: * Platt scaling (Sigmoid scaling): Suitable for correcting S-shaped calibration plots typically produced by models

techniques are essential to adjust the predicted probabilities towards frequentist probabilities, ensuring that model outputs reflect true likelihoods more accurately. Two common calibration techniques are: * Platt scaling (Sigmoid scaling): Suitable for correcting S-shaped calibration plots typically produced by models such as support vector machines (SVMs). * Isotonic regression: Fits a non-decreasing step function to probabilities and is effective particularly with larger datasets, though it can sometimes lead to overfitting. Transforming predictions to frequentist probabilities is crucial as it provides probabilistic outputs that are directly interpretable as the actual likelihood of an event occurring. Such calibration significantly enhances the effectiveness of fixed position sizing methods, reducing maximum drawdowns and increasing risk-adjusted returns. However, calibration has less impact on position sizing methods that directly estimate parameters from the training data, such as ECDF and SOPS, suggesting that calibration is a critical step mainly for fixed methods that rely heavily on raw model outputs. Notes * The secondary model does not generate additional trading signals; instead, its function is to filter out weaker signals generated by the primary model. Consequently, the performance of the secondary model depends heavily on the accuracy of the primary model, emphasizing the need for a well-constructed initial model. * This approach leverages the tradeoff between precision and recall to determine optimal position sizing, aligning with the Fundamental Law of Active Management, which highlights the importance of increasing the information ratio through either enhanced signal quality (skill) or signal frequency. * This methodology is also fundamentally distinct from employing ensemble methods or stacking techniques within the primary model, as the secondary model targets meta-labels directly rather than supplementary predictive features. Meta-labeling architectures Various model architectures exist, each tailored to different aspects and complexities of trading strategy development.

each tailored to different aspects and complexities of trading strategy development. Discrete long and short Recognizing that factors driving long and short positions can differ significantly, this architecture splits meta-labeling into two specialized secondary models: one optimized for long positions and another for short positions. Components Primary model: Generates directional trade signals. Two Secondary Models: * Long model: Focuses on features relevant to upward market movements. * Short model: Specializes in features indicative of downward market movements. Separate feature sets may be employed to reflect distinct informational drivers of market rallies versus sell-offs. Benefits * Improves model fit by addressing fundamentally different informational structures underlying longs vs. shorts. * Enhances predictive accuracy by using targeted features for each direction. Sequential meta-labeling (SMLA) The SMLA introduces multiple layers of secondary models. Each secondary model'sinputs include previous secondary models' outputs and evaluation statistics. This iterative process incrementally improves the model'saccuracy. Components Primary model: Predicts initial trade direction. Sequential secondary models, where each subsequent model: * Receives features and performance evaluation statistics from the primary model. * Includes output and statistics from preceding secondary models. * May utilize diverse ML algorithms to capture different feature relationships (e.g., logistic regression followed by support vector machines). Final predictions reflect accumulated insights and error-corrections from preceding models. Benefits * Progressive improvement and adaptive error correction. * Enhanced robustness and accuracy through layered, heterogeneous modeling. Conditional meta-labeling (CMLA) The CMLA partitions data based on specific market states or regimes, applying specialized secondary models tailored to these conditions. It explicitly recognizes that trading strategy performance varies significantly across different market conditions. Components Primary model: Provides base directional signals. Condition-specific Secondary Models: * Activated based on predefined conditions (e.g., volatility regimes, economic environments). * Utilize unique condition-relevant features tailored to each specific market scenario. Outputs merged into final decision function. Benefits * Improved model performance in varied market environments by capturing specific regime

Activated based on predefined conditions (e.g., volatility regimes, economic environments). * Utilize unique condition-relevant features tailored to each specific market scenario. Outputs merged into final decision function. Benefits * Improved model performance in varied market environments by capturing specific regime characteristics. * Enhanced interpretability regarding strategy effectiveness under different conditions. Ensemble meta-labeling Ensemble methods combine multiple model predictions to achieve better performance than individual models by balancing bias and variance. Two prominent ensemble architectures are: 1. Bagging meta-labeling Employs Bootstrap Aggregation (bagging), training multiple secondary models on bootstrapped samples of the data to mitigate variance and overfitting. Components Primary model: Generates initial directional signals. Multiple secondary models: * Each trained independently on bootstrap-sampled subsets of data. * Typically uses simpler models (e.g., linear discriminant analysis, single-layer perceptrons, or decision trees). Predictions combined via majority voting or weighted aggregation. Benefits * Significantly reduces overfitting through variance reduction. * Robust against noisy financial data and unstable model training conditions. 2. Boosting meta-labeling Sequentially trains secondary models where each model aims to correct the mistakes of the preceding model. Particularly effective at addressing bias and under-fitting. Components Primary model: Provides the initial trade signals. Sequentially Trained Secondary Models: * Each model focuses specifically on correcting the previous model’sprediction errors. * Models are homogeneous (usually of the same type, e.g., decision trees in gradient boosting). Final output combines sequential error corrections into a single enhanced prediction. Benefits * Reduces bias, improving predictive accuracy. * Efficient at capturing complex, non-linear feature interactions missed by simpler architectures. Inverse meta-labeling Inverse meta-labeling reverses the standard process by first identifying important features from secondary models to refine and improve the primary model. This iterative improvement cycle helps create more effective primary models before applying meta-labeling. Components Primary model: Provides base directional signals. Initial secondary model: * Evaluates feature importance related to trade profitability (meta-labels). * Generates insights into crucial predictors

primary model. This iterative improvement cycle helps create more effective primary models before applying meta-labeling. Components Primary model: Provides base directional signals. Initial secondary model: * Evaluates feature importance related to trade profitability (meta-labels). * Generates insights into crucial predictors of profitable trades. Adjusted primary model: * Uses newly identified critical features from the secondary model. * Re-trained to enhance recall and reduce false positives upfront. Revised secondary model: * Applied again after primary model refinement to further enhance precision. Benefits * Enables systematic identification and incorporation of informative features. * Improves trade quality and recall at the primary modeling stage, increasing effectiveness of subsequent meta-labeling. Performance Empirical studies using synthetic data and simulated trading environments have demonstrated that meta-labeling improves strategy performance. Specifically, it increases the Sharpe ratio, reduces maximum drawdown, and leads to more stable returns over time.

The ZX Touch (ZXT) is a handheld gaming console from Elmar Electronic, released on 18 November 2023, specifically for playing ZX Spectrum List of ZX Spectrum games History Development The ZX Touch originated as a hobby project by Goran Radan, co-owner of Elmar Electronic from Croatia, driven by passion for the ZX Spectrum and embedded microcontrollers. Goran, who had previously designed and released the ZX-VGA-JOY interface, developed initial prototypes that led to a dedicated console focused on accurate emulation and usability for Spectrum games. The decision to bring the ZXT to market was influenced by discussions with fellow enthusiasts. Launch The device was surprisingly unveiled at the Crash (magazine) Reception In their magazine reviews, Crash found the ZX Touch "great fun" and "very competent," while PC Pro found it a "well-built, highly configurable device"; however, both felt its price was a little expensive. Hardware The ZX Touch emulates both the ZX_Spectrum#ZX_Spectrum_16K/48K Visuals are displayed on a 7-inch 1024 x 600 IPS touchscreen with a 50 Hz refresh rate, synchronised with the original ZX Spectrum, unlike PC emulators whose refresh rate is tied to the computer (usually 60 Hz). This key feature replicates the smooth motion of an original ZX Spectrum connected to a Cathode-ray tube Whilst all system functions are accessible via the touchscreen, player control is provided by eight tactile buttons and an analog stick, all of which are fully configurable and saveable per game. A virtual keyboard is available on the touchscreen for keyboard-centric titles like adventure games. For durability, the console is designed with replaceable parts, such as the analog stick, speaker, and touchscreen. The integrated rechargeable battery, also replaceable, provides up to six hours of portable gameplay. The ZXT includes Wi-Fi hardware for potential future online features, though currently inactive.

Lapua Cartridge Factory (), since 1998 operating as Nammo Lapua Oy is a Finnish firearms ammunition manufacturer based in its eponymic town of Lapua. It is currently wholly owned by its parent company Nammo. Previously, between 1927 and 1991, it used to be operated as '''' (), abbreviated VPT. Locally the factory is nicknamed . History In the early 20th century a sawmill was planned and buildings were built for it in Lapua. However, it turned out that the current of the was too slow for a sawmill, and the parliament of the then-newly independent Finland intervened, buying the estate for the Finnish Defence Forces In the 1930s the cartridge factory started making a name through success in shooting sports, with the first notable victories in the 27th ISSF World Shooting Championships in 1930. In 1932 when the factory was developing a new 7.62 mm "D bullet" for the Finnish Defence Forces (FDF), a Soviet spy infiltrated the factory compound, poisoned the CEO dead and stole the blueprints. The development process led to the adoption of the D-166 bullet for the new standard 7.62×53mmR cartridge of the FDF, and it entered production in 1936. During the Second World War the facilities of the factory were dispersed. A separate underground facility was set up during the Winter War in Kanavuori, Jyväskylä. The Soviet Air Forces attempted to bomb the Lapua factory, but without success, as blacking out the town and setting decoy fires elsewhere managed to misguide the bombers. In 1947 the factory was merged to ('State Metal Factories'), later known as Valmet. Lapua Cartridge Factory explosion In 1991 the factory was split from Valmet and restructured as a joint stock company under the name Patruunatehdas Lapua Oy ('Cartridge Factory Lapua Ltd'). In 1992 the Lapua Cartridge Factory bought and made the German manufacturer SK Jagd- und Sportmunitions GmbH its subsidiary. Further restructuring of the Finnish defence industry was made in 1996,

Spike-in controls or spike-ins are known quantities of molecules such as Oligonucleotide sequence Design Spike-ins are subjected to the same experimental steps and potential biases as the native molecules within a sample after they have been added. They are added early in the experimental workflow, often during or immediately after sample lysis or extraction and prior to sequencing. As such, the suitability of spike-ins, their design, and subsequently analysis should allow accounting for as many sources of experimental variation as possible. Ideally, the spike-ins closely resemble the input material containing Epitope In sequencing assays, spike-ins can further be combined with Unique molecular identifier Analysis The information obtained from spike-ins is typically leveraged after initial bioinformatics analyses have been carried out with the final output of such analyses being absolute counts of different spike-in controls for each library. Various spike-in normalization or calibration methods then utilize this information as baseline to adjust the primary signal of interest. Spike-in normalization The choice of a normalization method can significantly influence the post-normalization conclusions drawn from an experiment. The first spike-in normalization method, known as reference-adjusted reads per million (RRPM) used a scaling factor determined from the number of reads aligned to the exogenous genome. Subsequent methods modified RRPM to consider the counts of spike-in reads derived from the input sample. A common approach involves determining the ratio between the observed spike-in read counts and the expected counts, or simply calculating the total spike-in reads per sample. These values are then used to derive sample-specific scaling factors. For instance, if a sample yields fewer spike-in reads than expected or fewer than another sample normalized to the same input, its endogenous gene counts are scaled upwards, under the assumption that the lower spike-in recovery reflects a global technical loss for that sample. More sophisticated methods may use regression analysis or factor analysis across multiple spike-ins added at various concentrations to model

gene counts are scaled upwards, under the assumption that the lower spike-in recovery reflects a global technical loss for that sample. More sophisticated methods may use regression analysis or factor analysis across multiple spike-ins added at various concentrations to model the relationship between input amount and sequencing output, aiming for a more robust estimate of technical bias. Applications Several types of spike-in controls are used depending on the application: * RNA spike-in Other less used spike-ins may include peptide or metabolite spike-ins. In proteomics and metabolomics, often stable isotope-labeled synthetic peptides (e.g., AQUA peptides) or metabolites, purified proteins or endogenous metabolites or non-endogenous small molecules are added in known amounts for quantification and normalization.

Martin Frobenius Ledermüller (20 August 1719 – 16 May 1769) was a German people Early life and education Ledermüller was born in Nuremberg, Germany, to Balthasar Ledermüller, a municipal clerk, and Helena Burckhardt. Despite his early interest in science and nature, his father initially forced him into a trade apprenticeship in spices. After three years, recognizing his son’spersistent passion for intellectual pursuits, Balthasar allowed him to pursue legal studies. Martin eventually attended the University of Jena in 1739 to study philosophy and law but returned to Nuremberg after a year due to family pressures. In addition to his legal career, Ledermüller served briefly as an assistant curator of the Margrave of Brandenburg’snatural history collection in Bayreuth. This position allowed him to deepen his engagement with scientific research and illustration. Contributions to microscopy and natural history His magnum opus, Mikroskopische Gemüths- und Augen-Ergötzung (1759–1763), featured over 150 hand-colored copperplate engravings created by Adam Wolfgang Winterschmidt. These detailed illustrations depicted insects, plants, fungi, minerals, and other microscopic specimens with accuracy and artistic flair. He promoted microscopy as an educational tool suitable even for young women, emphasizing its accessibility and intellectual benefits. Ledermüller also occasionally named species based on their behavior or appearance under the microscope. For instance, he likened one aquatic insect'smovements to those of a Harlequin from Italian theater. Death Martin Frobenius Ledermüller died on 16 May 1769 in Nuremberg after suffering from prolonged health issues. His works continue to be celebrated for their blend of scientific rigor and artistic excellence.

Elizabeth (Beth) Junor is a Scottish language therapist, poet, art gallery owner and activist. She was a member of the Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp in the 1980s, which protested against American nuclear-armed cruise missiles being sited in Britain and wrote a book about the camp. Early life Junor was born on 28 July 1958 in Lanark, Scotland. She obtained an MA in fine art from the University of St Andrews and a master's in speech and language pathology and therapy from Queen Margaret University Career Junor worked for 27 years as a speech and language therapist. From 2005 she was based in Hackney, London, where she specialised in childhood autism spectrum disorders. During this time, she translated from the French Peter Vermeulin’s I Am Special: A Workbook to Help Children, Teens and Adults with Autism Spectrum Disorders to Understand their Diagnosis, Gain Confidence and Thrive. Junor took early retirement in 2017 to return to St Andrews, where she opened an art gallery specialising in contemporary Scottish and European art. Forced to close the gallery in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic, she continued to operate it online. Activism Actively involved in the peace movement in Scotland, Junor first paid brief visits to Greenham Common Women’s Peace Camp outside RAF Greenham Common near Newbury, Berkshire in England in 1983, while continuing to work. In August 1986 she moved full-time to the camp, staying there until February 1990. The camp had split into several locations close to different gates of the base, reflecting the various political ideologies of the women protestors. She based herself at the original camp, known as the "Yellow Gate", situated just outside the main gate of the base, and contributed to the running of the camp. She carried out numerous nonviolent direct actions. On 19 June 1987 she was one of six women to remove 16 sections of fence from the north side of the base in broad

and contributed to the running of the camp. She carried out numerous nonviolent direct actions. On 19 June 1987 she was one of six women to remove 16 sections of fence from the north side of the base in broad daylight. She produced Yellow Gate camp newsletters, which communicated updates from the camp to supporters and the wider peace movement, and wrote a handbook on non-violence. She was arrested and charged on many occasions and, in common with most other women at the camp, represented herself in court. She was imprisoned seven times. After leaving in 1990 she remained closely involved with the camp until its closure in 2000. She published ''Greenham Common Women's Peace Camp: A History of Non-Violent Resistance 1984-1995'', with illustrations by Katrina Howse. After the book was published, she was quoted as saying: "After years of being observed from an almost anthropological viewpoint, of being examined by academia and misrepresented by the media, at last we've been able to tell our own story and project our own image of ourselves". She co-wrote with Howse a guide on how peace camp members could take libel action against the media, which often misrepresented the camp participants. Junor was also one of the camp members who played a major role in the establishment of a permanent memorial to the camp at Greenham Common. *The Souls Of The Dead Are Taking The Best Seats: 50 World Poets on War (2004 - anthology edited with Angus Calder). *A Full Moon Cycle (2001).

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard, open-source software framework Background The protocol was announced in November 2024 as an open standard for connecting AI assistants to data systems such as Content repository Features MCP defines a set of specifications for: * Data preparation * Contextual metadata tag (metadata) * Model interoperability across platforms * Secure, two-way connections between data sources and AI-powered tools The open-source repository of MCP server implementations is available on GitHub, providing developers with examples and foundations for building custom integrations. Developers can create custom MCP servers to connect Proprietary software * Real-time access to private databases and internal tools * Secure integration with sensitive business systems * Context-aware AI responses based on organizational knowledge * Workflow management system#Automated workflows * Custom data processing Pipeline (computing) The protocol'sopen standard allows organizations to build tailored connections while maintaining compatibility with the broader MCP ecosystem. AI models can then leverage these custom connections to provide Domain (software engineering) By adopting MCP, OpenAI joins other organizations such as Block, Replit, and Sourcegraph in incorporating the protocol into their platforms. This wide adoption highlights MCP'spotential to become a universal open standard for AI system connectivity and interoperability. The rapid growth and broad community adoption of MCP are demonstrated by Glama'spublicly available MCP server directory, which lists over 5,000 active MCP servers as of May 2025. MCP can be integrated with Microsoft Semantic Kernel, and Microsoft Azure Two weeks later, Demis Hassabis, CEO of Google DeepMind, confirmed MCP support in the upcoming Gemini (chatbot) Early adopters of MCP included Block and Sourcegraph, both of whom used the protocol to allow internal AI systems to access proprietary knowledge bases and developer tools. Reception The Verge reported that MCP addresses a growing demand for AI agents that are contextually aware and capable of securely pulling from diverse sources. tool permissions where combining tools can exfiltrate files,

RWS GmbH (originally Rheinisch Westfälische Sprengstoff-Actien-Gesellschaft). is a manufacturer of small-caliber ammunition for civilian and military purposes, detonators and other Pyrotechnics After changing its name to Dynamit Nobel AG, the company acquired the site in Sulzbach-Rosenberg in 1959 and took over Geco (1963). In the 1970s, the company developed ammunition free of heavy metals. This was due to high levels of heavy metal dust in shooting ranges, which now had to be covered for noise protection reasons. At the end of the 1970s, this ammunition went into production under the brand Sintox. Norma Precision Sports sponsorship The company promotes shooting sports. * The company is a partner of the German Shooting and Archery Federation. In 2010, for example, it was the main sponsor of the 2010 ISSF World Shooting Championships * The Geco brand is also used in Sponsor (commercial) * Qualified young shooters are supported with Rottweil brand ammunition.

The concept of functional information is an attempt to rigorously define the information content of biological systems. The concept was originated by a group led by Jack W. Szostak in 2003. Definition They define functional information as follows: * the concept of degree of function is introduced, where the degree of function E_x is a non-negative objective measure of the capability of system E to do the physical function x. * the fraction of possible configurations of the system that can achieve at least a particular level of function in regard to tthe physical function x is defined to be F(E_x ) * the functional information relstive to a given level of function E_x is defined as I(E_x ) -log_2 F(E_x ) This leads to two conclusions: * because all possible configurations can achieve zero or more functionality, that is to say F(E_x 0) 1, the minimum possible functional information for a system is -log_2 1, which is zero. * for the highest possible level of a degree of function of a system E_x _max, there will be a well defined I(E_x _max) -log_2 F(E_x _max) Note that functional information of a system E must always be defined relative to a specific function x, without a choice of which it has no meaning. Law of increasing functional information In 2025, a group of researchers proposed a law of increasing functional information, that asserts that a tendency to increase in functional information is an inherent property of the universe, encompassing both biological and non-biological systems.

A pizza oven is an oven that is specially suited for making pizzas, especially Neapolitan pizza. They can be wood-fired, such as a masonry oven, gas-fired, or electric. History Primitive cultures across the world cooked food on a bakestone or the floor of the hearth itself. Vertical ovens are of Semitic origin and they have been found across the Middle East, Central Asia, northern India, and North Africa and along the Mediterranean coasts. In 1945, Ira Nevin, an oven repairman who had been stationed in Naples during WWII invented a ceramic-lined gas-powered oven specifically for pizzas and founded a company called Baker’s Pride. Types * Wood-fired ovens are generally built on a base of tuff and fire brick covered by a circular cooking floor above which a dome is built to minimize heat dispersion. * Gas-fired * Electric pizza ovens have a smaller carbon footprint than wood-fired pizza ovens. * Hybrid pizza ovens are ovens that can use both wood and gas as a fuel. Working principle The high temperatures achieved in a pizza oven create conditions where a Maillard reaction can occur, the moisture from the pizza ingredients evaporates and the steam is trapped in the oven. The operation of wood-fired pizza ovens is dependent on the operator'sability. Health and environmental impacts Pizza ovens have not received much coverage as a source of urban pollution. A 2018 study found that although wood-fired ovens gave rise to high particle emissions, the concentrations of fine particles they measured were low. Neapolitan pizza According to EU regulation No. 97/2010 from 4 February 2010, Neapolitan Pizzas can only be made in wood-fired brick ovens. However, Associazione Verace Pizza Napoletana certified gas or electric ovens when wood-fired ovens are impractical, due to environmental and health concerns.

Hello World: How to Be Human in the Age of the Machine is a book on the growing influence of algorithms and artificial intelligence (AI) on human life, authored by mathematician and science communicator Hannah Fry. The book examines how algorithms are increasingly shaping decisions in critical areas such as healthcare, transportation, justice, finance, and the arts. Overview Fry uses real-world examples, such as driverless cars and predictive policing, to illustrate her points. She emphasizes that algorithms are not inherently objective; they reflect biases embedded in their design and data inputs. While acknowledging their potential to improve efficiency and accuracy, Fry cautions against over-reliance on machines without human judgment. Fry explores moral questions surrounding algorithmic decision-making, such as whether machines can replace human empathy in critical situations. She advocates for greater scrutiny of algorithms to ensure fairness and avoid harmful biases. The book proposes a "cyborg future", where humans work alongside algorithms to enhance decision-making while retaining ultimate control. Reception Hello World has been praised for its clarity, engaging storytelling, and balanced perspective. Critics have highlighted Fry'sability to make complex topics accessible to general audiences while raising important questions about technology'simpact on society.

Hubert Dana Goodale (15 June 1879 – 10 June 1968) was an American poultry and cattle geneticist and breeder. He worked at Mount Hope Farm in Williamston, Massachusetts where he worked on applied genetics and breeding for the poultry and dairy industry. He developed the idea of index breeding for identifying sires in breeding programs. In 1932 he was among the first to use the term "genetic engineering" at the Congress of Genetics in New York. Goodale was born in Troy, New Hampshire Goodale conducted experiments on sex hormones by transplanting ovaries into castrated male chicken. He also looked at sex-linked characters and the genetics of poultry. He also examined the limits to quantitative trait improvement. Unlike most other experimenters he believed that there were few limits. He also maintained mice for experiments. Through repeated crossing, he was able to breed mice with a lot of facial white hair. Goodale married Lottie E. Merrill in 1906 and they had two daughters. He was a member of the American Society of Zoologists from 1914 and the Poultry Science Association.

The mastaba of Kanefer is located in Giza western necropolis at the third row behind the core mastaba G 2100. The owner was identified as Prince Kanefer ["KҘ(j)-nfr"] dated to the reign of Menkaure.Attestation Search Results Genesis Cemetery G 2100 at Giza West Field was excavated within the German-Austrian archaeological concession in 1912 - 1929 and summarised by George Andrew Reisner The mastaba, built of mud bricks measuring 23.3 x 10.4 m, is covered on the outside with grey rubble stones, chapel lined with white limestone has three rooms decorated with reliefs. Northern subsidiary niche a monolithic framed stela was inset in the stepped face. G 2150 was originally a one-shaft mastaba with chief shaft in medial axis north of the mastaba centre. Shaft is sunked in the traditional location north of centre mastaba core. It takes the form of a typical post-Khufu shaft with corridor and burial chamber to the south shaft, but no portcullis grooves or burial chamber lining. Later a secondary shaft was dug south of west of the serdab. The northern shaft (2.1x 2.07 m) with a depth of up to 8.5 m was walled with stones and led into a burial chamber (4.5x3.5 m) covered with plaster. A sarcophagus covered with plaster and with a flat lid was found there. A canopic jar was found near the northern wall. Fragments of vessels, pedestals of statues, fragments of wood, coper dished rectangular razors, chisels, small sheet of leaf gold and other objects were scattered around. All artefacts found were deposited in Museum of Fine Arts, Boston The chapel of Kanofer (G 2150) was lined with white limestone, but the reliefs are very uneven in quality. The entrance jambs are well carved, bold in style although not very high, and with simple masses little broken by inner detail. The west wall has a large figure in high bold relief, well modelled but the other reliefs are hastily executed.

jambs are well carved, bold in style although not very high, and with simple masses little broken by inner detail. The west wall has a large figure in high bold relief, well modelled but the other reliefs are hastily executed. The east wall has figures indicated by little more than incised outlines, roughly drawn and with uneven surfaces. Perhaps the work was unfinished, certainly the evidence points to hasty completion of decoration which had been begun with the carefully executed work of the entrance doorway''. * Entrance: On the far right, the married couple standing, in front of him a son, behind him a priest of the dead, on the right three rows of gift-bearers with clothes, etc. On the escape is a dwarf with a monkey. Left: Married couple standing. * West wall: Between the two false doors the grave lord standing, above him title rows, next to him is his son Ka-sewedja. Before that Priests of the dead and servants with incense and offering. On the left at the southern false door are two sacrificial bearer. * South wall: Mastaba owner on armchair, in the left hand insect tail, in front of him a table of gifts with bread, cake and goose. * East wall: Following the illustration the list of victims in the new version. To the left of it and below it is the procession of the representatives of the foundation estates, at the bottom of the slaughter scene. * North wall: The couple standing, next to it a daughter. Kanefer family A part of the figural decorations in the chapel were accompanied by scripts of Kanefer'stitles, which show his position in the royal administration and further more symbolic ones emphasising his dignity: Active competency titles: Overseer of commissions, overseer of the marshlands, staff of the subjects, master of secrets of every foreign land, controller of the two banks of the king, controller of bow-case bearers, elder of
