# Stick shabti

Stick shabtis (or stick ushabtis) are ancient Egyptian ushabtis made of wood.

## Description

They have a rough, anthropoid shape, are not well-carved and bear just one inscription on the front. Unlike the normal Egyptian ushabtis which are sometimes small artworks in the own right, they are not painted or further decorated.

## Date

Stick shabtis date to the end of the 17th Dynasty and the beginning of the 18th Dynasty (around 1550 BC).

## Function

Stick shabtis had a different purpose to most of the normal ushabtis. While ushabtis were most often placed into the burial chamber and had the function to work for the deceased, stick shabtis were always found in the overground cult chapel of Egyptian tombs, only at Thebes. They are often placed into roughly carved model coffins. In the inscriptions on these shabtis, the names of officials appear.
It seems that stick shabtis represented family members and friends of a deceased. The stick shabtis were placed close to the burial of a beloved family member, so that the represented people could be symbolically close to their beloved one.

# Conformal dimension

In mathematics, the conformal dimension of a metric space X is the infimum of the Hausdorff dimension over the conformal gauge of X, that is, the class of all metric spaces quasisymmetric to X.

## Formal definition

Let X be a metric space and ${\mathcal {G}}$ be the collection of all metric spaces that are quasisymmetric to X. The conformal dimension of X is defined as such
    $\mathrm {Cdim} X=\inf _{Y\in {\mathcal {G}}}\dim _{H}Y$

## Properties

We have the following inequalities, for a metric space X:
    $\dim _{T}X\leq \mathrm {Cdim} X\leq \dim _{H}X$
The second inequality is true by definition. The first one is deduced from the fact that the topological dimension T is invariant by homeomorphism, and thus can be defined as the infimum of the Hausdorff dimension over all spaces homeomorphic to X.

## Examples

* The conformal dimension of $\mathbf {R} ^{N}$ is N, since the topological and Hausdorff dimensions of Euclidean spaces agree.
* The Cantor set K is of null conformal dimension. However, there is no metric space quasisymmetric to K with a 0 Hausdorff dimension.

# Twin vector quantization

In data compression, twin vector quantization is related to vector quantization, but the speed of the quantization is doubled by the secondary vector analyzer.
By using a subdimensional vector space useless hyperspace will be destroyed in the process.
The formula for calculating the amount of destroyed hyperspace is:
    H(x) = 5.22 / 4m

# Zafra debilis

Zafra debilis is a species of sea snail in the family Columbellidae, the dove snails.

## Description

The length of the shell attains 4 mm, the diameter 1.1 mm.
(Original description) The small shell is thin, slender and conical. Its colour is fawn with an opaque white zone median on the body whorl, and supersutural on the spire. Sometimes there is also a white subsutural band, the white being plainer on the ribs than on the interstices. The shell contains seven gradate whorls.
Sculpture : the first three whorls are smooth, the remainder radially ribbed. The ribs are prominent, broad, vertical, spaced by about their breadth, continuing to the grooving at the base and to the aperture, discontinuous from whorl to whorl, amounting to fourteen on the body whorl. A slender subsutural cord connects the tops of the ribs. Beyond the ribs on the exterior extremity are eight, fine, spiral striae. The aperture is narrow, vertical, a little sinuous and contracted posteriorly. The inner lip shows a free elevate edge. The outer lip is simple. The siphonal canal is short and bent rather sharply backwards.

# Compsa

Compsa (modern Conza della Campania) was an ancient city of the Hirpini, near the sources of the Aufidus, on the boundary of Lucania and not far from that of Apulia, on a ridge 609 m above sea level. It was betrayed to Hannibal in 216 BC after the defeat of Cannae, but recaptured two years later. It was probably occupied by Sulla in 89 BC, and was the scene of the death of Titus Annius Milo in 48 BC.
Most modern sources, for example Hülsen in Pauly-Wissowa's Realencyclopädie (Stuttgart, 1901, iv. 797), refer Caesar's Commentarii de Bello Civili (iii. 22) and Pliny's Naturalis Historiæ to this place, supposing the ancient manuscripts to be corrupt. Thus the usual identification of the site of Milo's death with Cassano allo Ionio on the Gulf of Taranto must be incorrect.
In imperial times, as inscriptions show, it was a municipium, but it lay far from any of the main highways. The ruins of the ancient city were studied again, when they reappeared after the destruction of the modern town in the 1980 Irpinia earthquake.
# Mariano Rajoy Sobredo

He was promoted to magistrate in 1958, was a judge of First Instance and Instruction in Oviedo until 1960, and later to León as Judge of First Instance and Instruction, staying in the capital of León for ten years.

# St Michael's Church, Clapton in Gordano

The Church of St Michael in Clapton in Gordano, Somerset, England, dates from the 13th century and is recorded in the National Heritage List for England as a designated Grade I listed building, and is a redundant church in the care of the Churches Conservation Trust. It was vested in the Trust on 1 June 1995.
St Michael's closed in 1995 but due to its architectural interest was adopted by the Trust, however occasional services are still held throughout the year.
The 12th-century tympanum is the oldest visible part of the church to have survived, however the majority of the building is from the 13th century.
Inside are reredos and benches, a 14th-century font and a late 17th-century monument. The 13th-century oak screen in the church originally divided the Great Hall and the Buttery in the adjacent Court House.
The first record of the church is an agreement dated 1226 between William, son of Arthur de Clopton and Richard of Keynsham Abbey.
