Vexillarius is a term referring to one of several distinct types of Roman soldier.
A vexillarius or vexillifer was one of the signiferi in a Roman legion. His duty was to carry the vexillum, a military standard displaying the name and emblem of the legion. This standard consisted of a woven fabric banner, hung on a crossbar attached to a pole or lance. It was used by both infantry and cavalry. It could designate a vexillation (Latin: vexillatio), a detachment from a larger unit, though it was most likely also a standard for regular complete or component units (such as legions, cohorts, alae).
The term vexillarius may also refer to specially re-enlisted veterans. These soldiers were so named because they served in a company (vexillatio) under their own vexillum standard within the legion, separate from the ordinary legionaries in the cohorts of that same legion. They had privileged status and were exempt from most basic duties other than combat or those other special skills they may have supplied.
Thirdly, vexillarius might have referred to any soldier serving in a temporary detachment or vexillation, away from the parent unit.
The vexillarius' uniform consisted of standard Roman armor and a helmet. Where a vexillarius was a standard-bearer (vexillifer), he will have had, place of the customary crest, the top of the helmet decorated with animal fur, such as a lion or wolf.
# More Pricks Than Kicks

More Pricks Than Kicks is a collection of short prose by Samuel Beckett, first published in 1934. It contains extracts from his earlier novel, Dream of Fair to Middling Women (for which he was unable to find a publisher), as well as other short stories.
The stories chart the life of the book's main character, Belacqua Shuah, from his days as a student to his accidental death. Beckett takes the name Belacqua from a figure in Dante's Purgatorio, a Florentine lute-maker famed for his laziness, who has given up on ever reaching heaven. The opening story, "Dante and the Lobster," features Belacqua's horrified reaction to the discovery that the lobster he has bought for dinner must be boiled alive. "It's a quick death, God help us all," Belacqua tells himself, before the narrator's stern interjection to the contrary: "It is not."
"The Smeraldina's Billet Doux" is a love letter to Belacqua in fractured English by the German-speaking Smeraldina Rima, a character based on Beckett's cousin Peggy Sinclair. Other real-life originals of More Pricks Than Kicks characters include Mary Manning Howe (the Caleken Frica), Ethna MacCarthy (the Alba), and Lucia Joyce (the Syra Cusa).
Almost uniquely for Beckett's male characters, Belacqua shows a marked enthusiasm for the state of matrimony, marrying in quick succession Lucy, Thelma bboggs, and the Smeraldina Rima.
The final story, "Draff," centres on his funeral.
At the suggestion of his Chatto editor, Charles Prentice, Beckett added another story, '"Echo's Bones," to the manuscript. In it, Belacqua returns from the dead. Prentice rejected the story, and it remained unpublished until 2014 (Faber & Faber and Grove Press).
# Oligotoma nigra

Oligotoma nigra, also known as the black webspinner, is a species of insect in the order Embiidina, also known as Embioptera.

## Description

The adult of this species tends to be entirely dark brown or black. They reach approximately 9mm in length. Females tend to be redder in body color than males are. Only adult males have wings and are capable of flying. Adult males, unlike adult females, have an affinity for light. The nymphs are much paler than adults, and they darken in color as they mature.

## Life cycle

The entire life cycle of the black webspinner is typically completed within a year. They are a hemimetabolous insect species, meaning that they have incomplete metamorphosis. During developmental stages the nymphs produce silk from silk glands. The glands are located on the basal segment of the foretarsus. they use this ability to create silk tunnels for protection from predators and to store food. Eggs are laid within the silk tunnels. When the nymphs hatch they expand the network of tunnels. This network continues to expand as the insect matures. The vast majority of their life is spent within the silk tunnel.

## Distribution and habitat

This insect is originally from India; however, it is now found in other parts of the world. In America, it can be found from Texas to California up to Utah, covering much of the southwest region of the United States. It was most likely introduced to North America in the late 1800s during the shipping of date palm cuttings from the Persian Gulf Region.
During the day they spend most of their lives in silk tunnels beneath a rock or structure nearby a food source. In gardens their food source is frequently grass or some type of ornamental plant. They are often found near the base of palm trees, emerging from their tubes to feed on debris, dead plant material, mosses and lichens.
# Major Command Game

Major Command Game is a turn-based strategy online game website that allows users to play Risk online among multiple users.

## History

The game was created in 2009 by a group of players who were not satisfied by the online risk games available on the other websites at that time. As a result, the game inherently provides a simple user interface, several new maps, and an active community of players. However, the key difference is the lack of ads on the website. The website does not charge for playing the game. Players are allowed to play up to 4 simultaneous games for free, with no limit on the total number of games played in a lifetime. Revenue is generated by donations and some additional features like online tournaments and unlimited simultaneous games are available to users who purchase a subscription.

## Game play

The game play of Major Command Game is very similar to Risk, however, the game also introduces command cards as opposed to standard territory cards, and the design of the maps differ from those of the original board game. Players deploy troops at the beginning of each turn as they would in the original board game. A players can attack another region by "rolling" the dice against his opponent. The computer generates a number from 1 to 6 for each dice, and the highest rolls determines the winner of a battle. This continues until the player ends their turn, allowing the next player to start their turn, or when a player wins the game. A standard game can be won when a single player occupies all countries or regions on the map. Variations of the standard game include team games and assassin games. In a team game the game is won when all members of the other teams are eliminated and at least one (or more) members of one winning team remain. In an assassin game, each player in the game is given a "target". The target is another player in that game. Conversely, each player in that game is also themselves a target of another player. The objective of an assassin’s game is to be the first player to eliminate your target before any other player eliminates their target, or before being eliminated yourself.
The original Risk board game produced by Parker Brothers uses a map of the world which contains 6 continents and 47 territories. It is similar to the Major Command Game classic map of the world which contains 7 continents and 50 territories. The additional continent is Antarctica, which has the 3 extra territories. Both maps use regions and territories that are not accurate representations of real countries.

Manduessedum or Manduesedum was a Roman fort and later a civilian small town in the Roman Province of Britannia. It was located on and immediately to the east of the site of the modern village of Mancetter, located in the English county of Warwickshire, close to the modern town of Atherstone. The name is of Romano-Celtic origin, and is likely derived from the Gaulish essedum, meaning 'chariot', whilst the first element mandu was common in Gaulish place names, but its meaning is obscure.
The fort was founded in around AD 50 on the Watling Street Roman road, guarding the point where the road crossed the River Anker. The final battle of the rebel queen of the Britons Boudica at the Battle of Watling Street in AD 60/61 may have taken place near Manduessedum. The British forces were defeated by the Roman general Suetonius Paullinus. The fort appears to have been fairly short lived, as there is little sign of military occupation at the site after AD 70.
Manduessedum later developed into an important civilian settlement, and was the centre of an extensive pottery making industry which primarily produced Mortaria (mixing bowls). The remains of up to 70 pottery kilns dating from the Roman period have been found in the area, as well as the remains of a Roman villa. The area has been listed as a scheduled monument.

# Dionysius (consul 429)

(Flavius) Dionysius was a Roman politician and military officer in the fifth century AD.

## Career

Dionysius was from Thrace. Between 428 and 431 AD, Dionysius served as Comes and Magister Militum of the East. In 428 AD, he escorted Nestorius, the new Patriarch of Constantinople from his see in Antioch to his new seat. In 429 AD, he held the consulship together with Flavius Florentius as his colleague. In 431 AD, Dionysius took part in the Council of Ephesus. In 434 AD, he once again served as Magister Militum. Between 435 and 440 AD, Dionysius was, together with Plinta, ambassador to the King of the Huns, Rugila.
# Ole Bull and Old Dan Tucker

"Ole Bull and Old Dan Tucker" is a traditional American song. Several different versions are known, the earliest published in 1844 by the Boston-based Charles Keith company. The song's lyrics tell of the rivalry and contest of skill between Ole Bull (named for Ole Bournemann Bull, a famous violinist) and Dan Tucker (title character of the blackface hit of the same name). The song also satirizes the low pay earned by early minstrel performers: "Ole Bull come to town one day [and] got five hundred for to play."
The song was fairly popular in the minstrel show's first few years. Winans's research found it in 19% of minstrel show programs for the 1843-7 period. A localized version is known, called "Philadelphia Old Bull and Old Dan Tucker".

## Biological scientific endeavors

As humans subjected to weightlessness or microgravity undergo physiological changes, there is an increasing interest in biological research. Aside from the material science aspect being investigated aboard the MASER13-15 rockets, biological modules aim to fulfill this purpose and elucidate this side of space-related research.
# Lycurgus of Sparta (David)

Lycurgus of Sparta is a 1791 oil painting attributed to the French painter Jacques-Louis David which is in the collection of the Musée des Beaux-Arts, Blois, France.
The David painting is likely based on the account of Plutarch. In this version of the myth, Lycurgus, quasi-legendary lawgiver of the state of Sparta, was the younger son of a king of Sparta who became king himself when his elder brother died shortly after their father. His brother's wife was pregnant at the time and Lycurgus dutifully handed over the kingship to the child when it was born. Plutarch says that Spartan custom demanded that all new-born babies be vetted by a council of elders at a Lesche, who ordered that any with disabilities were to be taken to die in the open on a mountainside at Apothetae (this is contradicted by archeological evidence and some other classical sources).
One interpretation of David's picture is that Lycurgus was standing in for his brother in showing the new-born baby and future king to the council for their approval. Alternatively he is merely organising the screening process for a number of new-born babies.

Paul Mount of Starburst rated the film 4 stars out of 5, calling it a "haunting and sometimes flesh-crawling experience enlivened by some pleasing practical visual effects and a sense of ambiguity in relation to the nature and purpose of the parasite creature itself." Jonathan W. Hickman of the Newnan Times-Herald rated the film 6 out of 10, calling it "compelling and thoroughly unsettling". Alix Turner of Horror Obsessive wrote a positive review of the film.
Alain Elliot of Nerdly rated the film 2 stars out of 5, writing that it "falls into the ‘what could have been’ category and never lives up to its promise of a twisted but intriguing body horror."
