# Statue of Metjen

The Statue of Metjen is on display in the Egyptian Museum in Berlin and has the inventory number ÄM 1106. The statue was discovered at Abusir in Metjen's mastaba by the Egyptian expedition (1842–1845) under the direction of the Prussian scholar Karl Richard Lepsius. The statue and the mastaba were bought to the museum in Berlin. The statue is an early example of an Egyptian statue belonging to a private individual. Metjen lived at the end of the Third Dynasty and the beginning of the Fourth Dynasty (around 2600 BC). The statue is made of granite and about 47 cm high. It is datable under king Snofru.
Metjen is shown sitting on a chair. His right hand forms a fist and is placed on the chest, the left hand is placed on the leg. Metjen wears short curly hair. On the sides of the chair are inscriptions providing Metjen's name and his titles. The statue was once placed in the serdab of the mastaba and was therefore only visible via a small hole in the wall.
The statue belongs to the small group of private statues datable to the Egyptian Third Dynasty and earliest Fourth Dynasty. They are all made of hard stone and appear somehow clumsy and heavy. The statue of Metjen is the latest one of them. The statue belongs therefore stylistically between those of the Third Dynasty and those of the Fourth Dynasty. Its head is slightly too large, the small dimensions and the hieroglyphic texts in raised relief connects the statue with the Third Dynasty. Typical for the Fourth Dynasty are the positions of the hands and the chair, that does no longer copies a real chair as in the Third Dynasty.

Rosamond Arorunkah Fowlis MBE (3 October 1910 – 20 August 1994) was a Gambian schoolteacher, domestic science organizer, Girl Guides commissioner and chair of the Gambia Women's Federation.

## Life

Rosamond Fowlis was born in Bathurst (now Banjul) on 3 October 1910. She was the daughter of Henry G. Fowlis, a prominent member of the Aku Methodist community. She was educated at the Methodist Girls' High School in Bathurst, and from 1943 to 1947 at St Joseph's Convent, Freetown, Sierra Leone. Fowlis taught domestic science in Bathurst from 1931 until her retirement in 1965. A cofounder of the Gambia Teachers' Union in 1937, she served as union president from 1941 to 1945.
A 1943 report on Infant and Girls Education in the Gambia recommended that Fowlis be provided an assistant, and given the opportunity to visit the United Kingdom for additional training. From 1945 to 1965 she was Domestic Science Organizer in the Colony.
Fowlis was appointed to the Gambia Education Board in 1945, and in 1953 was one of the five women on the 34-member Consultative Committee to the Governor on Constitutional Reform. That year she received a MBE for her services as Domestic Science Organizer. In 1955 she became the first Gambian chief guide commissioner, spreading the Girl Guides movement in the Gambian Colony. She served as chair of the Gambia Women's Federation in the 1960s.

# Statistical risk

Statistical risk is a quantification of a situation's risk using statistical methods. These methods can be used to estimate a probability distribution for the outcome of a specific variable, or at least one or more key parameters of that distribution, and from that estimated distribution a risk function can be used to obtain a single non-negative number representing a particular conception of the risk of the situation.
Statistical risk is taken account of in a variety of contexts including finance and economics, and there are many risk functions that can be used depending on the context.
One measure of the statistical risk of a continuous variable, such as the return on an investment, is simply the estimated variance of the variable, or equivalently the square root of the variance, called the standard deviation. Another measure in finance, one which views upside risk as unimportant compared to downside risk, is the downside beta. In the context of a binary variable, a simple statistical measure of risk is simply the probability that a variable will take on the lower of two values.
There is a sense in which one risk A can be said to be unambiguously greater than another risk B (that is, greater for any reasonable risk function): namely, if A is a mean-preserving spread of B. This means that the probability density function of A can be formed, roughly speaking, by "spreading out" that of B. However, this is only a partial ordering: most pairs of risks cannot be unambiguously ranked in this way, and different risk functions applied to the estimated distributions of two such unordered risky variables will give different answers as to which is riskier.
In the context of statistical estimation itself, the risk involved in estimating a particular parameter is a measure of the degree to which the estimate is likely to be inaccurate.

# Pachypodium lealii

Pachypodium lealii, the bottle tree, is a species of plant included in the genus Pachypodium. The scientific name derives from the 19th century Portuguese geologist Fernando da Costa Leal, who described the bottle tree during an exploration in southern Angola.
This species can be either a shrub or a tree up to 6 meters tall and is characterized by the thick bottle-shaped trunk, which is almost branchless until the top. The branches are few and covered by slender thorns up to 30 cm long. Leaves are oblong and are covered with short hairs on both surfaces. The flowers, shown below in detail, are present in the spring, when the tree is leafless. The white flowers, characteristic of the family Apocynaceae, cluster around the tips of the branches.
The plant produces a watery latex, rich in toxic alkaloids, used by local populations as arrow poison for hunting. In contact with the eyes this latex can produce blindness.

## Distribution and habitats
### Distribution

The bottle tree is an endemic species of Namibia and southern Angola where it occupies the semi-desert areas and dry bushvelds, usually along rocky hillsides. It is especially common in the Etendeka plateau of NE Namibia, where it can be seen growing in the basalt slopes.

### Habitat

Altitudinal range of this species is 1000–1600 metres above sea level. The extreme temperatures range from an occasional -10 °C to as much to 45 °C.

## Protection status

Pachypodium lealii doesn't appear to be under significant threat, but the lack of young specimens, and the removal of wild plants for trade, is a concern in Namibia. It is listed on Appendix II of CITES, which makes it an offence to trade these plants internationally without a permit.
# Pachypodium saundersii

Pachypodium saundersii, the kudu lily, is a succulent plant of the family Apocynaceae. It was named in honour of Sir Charles James Renault Saunders (1857–1931), the Natal Province civil servant and casual plant collector.
It is found naturally in Southern Africa, on the Lebombo Mountains and other areas in KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Eswatini (Swaziland).
It is usually a small, shrubby bush, but can grow up to 1.5m tall. The plant is covered in paired, sharp thorns, and dark green shiny leaves, and it flowers annually producing masses of white flowers that have a pinkish/purplish tinge to them.
# Unguriu

Unguriu (Romanian pronunciation:) is a commune in the Buzău County, Muntenia, Romania, 18 km north-west of Buzău, the county capital, on the bank of the river Buzău. It is composed of two villages, Ojasca and Unguriu.

## History

The first mention of Unguriu is an act of Constantine Mavrocordato from the year 1782, who transferred property of the village of Unguriu to the bishopric of Buzău. In the mid-17th century, nearby, at the Ciuciuri springs, the Unguriu monastery is built.
The village of Ojasca is first mentioned in 1715, when Luxandra Ierculeasa gives the same bishopric a patch of land there.
Between 1805 and 1821, the border between Wallachia and the Habsburg monarchy came at the Ojasca springs and therefore the Unguriu monastery was temporarily destroyed.
In 1968, the commune of Unguriu (with the villages Unguriu and Ojasca) was included within the commune of Măgura, but in the year 2004, the commune was reinstated.

## Economy

Most of the people from Unguriu work in mining, oil extraction, constructions, ceramics and glass manufacturing. Many people also practice agriculture, growing fruit and animals.
A number of 21 firms are located in Unguriu, in the fields of trading, production and processing of milk, metal casting, as well as mills and other service providers.
A coal mine was open between 1882-1962, and again between 1985-1997.
# Poissonnière station

# Oriental Philatelic Association of London

The Oriental Philatelic Association of London, or OPAL, is a philatelic society whose members specialise in the philately of the area covered by the former Ottoman Empire and the states around the Eastern Mediterranean from Libya to the former Yugoslavia.

## History

The society was formed on 8 November 1949 at a meeting in the premises of auction house Harmers in London. There were 25 founding members who mainly collected Egypt and Sudan but the membership soon expanded and the association came to focus mainly on the Ottoman Empire and surrounding areas.
In the late 1970s, membership fell to less than 100 but the association was reinvigorated following a meeting at the London 1980 International Stamp Exhibition after which a new committee was appointed and a new constitution adopted.
In 1999, the association's members gave a display before the members of the Royal Philatelic Society London to mark their 50th anniversary at which time the membership stood at 275.
In 2000, with the Holyland Philatelic Society, the association published a history of the Ottoman field post offices in Palestine from 1914 to 1918 based on the collection of Alexander Koleksiyonu. The book was edited by Kemal Giray and Jeff Ertughrul with a parallel Turkish and English text. Its publication was supported by a grant from the Economic and Social History Foundation of Turkey.
Notable members include Mehmet Başaran, Kemal Giray, Rainer Fuchs, Otto Hornung and the late Jeff Ertughrul.
